Preview Blackest Night: Superman
IGN has the cover for Blackest Night : Superman preview.

Now THIS is appropriate, what a super-powered zombie attack should be like. This feels like the horror of having Michael Myers or Jason running around, with people unaware of the deadly danger until it's too late.

	Agreed. Also, the fact that Black Lantern Kal-L doesn't need to wait for them to show emotion; when he shows up, everybody feels fear. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Does anybody have the slightest idea if there's any point to the emotion checks? Are they collecting particular emotions? Hawkman and Hawkgirl were killed when they registered love. Is 'will' sufficient--have they killed anybody registering that way? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They seem to be collecting emotions to power up the Black Lantern. The Black Lanterns have tried to kill Green Lanterns when they've registered will; every Green Lantern they've attacked has had that emotion (except for Guy, who registered rage.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

They didn't kill Garth until he registered "Hope." They could have easily done so up to that moment. And Tula said that was what she'd been waiting for. Also, the soldiers who were in the plane with the Batman villains who were killed--like with bullets--by the rings were not revived. So it appears that the target has to be "ripe" in that way before plucking the heart.

Though really, if one of these fuckers is coming at you, you're gonna be feeling SOMEthing.

But the whole point of their talking to their prey before killing seems to be to make sure the emotion rises. Which is why they talk like angry versions of themselves. Except the clue in all this that Nekron, not they, are talking is this: DOLPHIN COULDN'T TALK. Yet she says plenty, even with most of her head gone, during the Mercy Reef attack.
