Green Lantern #44 preview: Blackest Night
IGN has the preview of the Black Lantern Martian Manhunter vs. the Brave and the Bold, the Green Lantern and the Flash.

One page behind the cut.





Anyone care the tell me what the hell the Venom symbiote is doing in DC?

No, wait, my bad, it's the Black Lantern Ring, and we see how it converts the dead into undead.

*edit*

I said 1 image, but this deserves a second look at a second image.



The panel where the black goo is affecting Barry. Is it because he was the Black Flash for a little while? Is he speaking some Martian language?

Why was Martian Manhunter sent after these two, when other could do the same job?

And what does Hal have against us nerds? Die, Hal, die!

And Barry is hope which makes complete sense and what I've though for a while. Granted I thought he might become a Blue Lantern during Final Crisis if only temporarily but alas.

This leads to a fun game. What color would everyone else be?

Superman is obviously Hope as well. But what about Wonder Woman? She could be hope as well, could she not? Aren't they trying to play up the angle that she inspires all the other superheroes?

WW is Compassion. Beneficent compassion, not practical compassion.

I'd want to say Compassion but not the way it'd been portrayed in the GL books. Maybe just plain Green for her?

Batman is totally fear as we've seen.

Hawkman= RAGE RAGE RAGE

Red Tornado?... Love? Since family has been often the thing that makes him complete, his wife and daughter.

I'm seriously hoping they show that with a lot of other people too. I love stuff like that. It's like a personality quiz. Of course, part of me also wants to keep wondering in case they pegged people in ways I thought were wrong.

I can't decide if the Choco on J'onn's grave being shattered is clever or incredibly cheesy.

It seems like he's got all of his power set back.

Peter Tomasi wrote Requiem, not Johns. Doug Mahnke did draw both, though.

To be fair, Tomasi and Johns pretty clearly have been talking; they work on the two GL titles, and Johns specifically mentioned in Blackest Night 1 the supervillain vault that was first introduced in Tomasi's run on Nightwing (with a slick bit of explanation from Johns on why the superheroes weren't kept there.)

Wait, they didn't bury J'onn in his post-1YL attire?

All I want to know is what happened to the Oreo cookie Batman left on top of J'onn's coffin.

If you read the preview, it shows up fairly prominently.

"Ma'aleca'andra" is the Martian name for Mars, after their own war deity.

The line about Lois Lane?

This is the reason I like Hal when he's around other superheroes. He's good for snappy down-to-earth dialogue.

He's a jock and a jarhead. What do you want? Wait, not specifically "jarhead." What's the Air Force equivalent?

Hmm....'airhead' and 'flyboy,' I think.

...Oh my God that's it. The prick behavior, the vapid, empty personality--he totally is a jock. No wonder I can't stand his ass.

I don't think he is a jock, though. Guy's the jock. Hal's character is that of a test pilot, rather different.

Guy can't be the jock. Guy is funny.

IAWTC. Hal just questions liking a guy wearing clothes 2 sizes too big and making his voice an octave higher.

And I laughed.

No, J'onn, they should both be alive, and so should you.

I'm Bill Curtis, and I'm faster than Michael Phelps The Flash.

Based on what I've seen, the Brave and the Bold are basically any two DC characters. One of the more prominent pairings is composed of Hal and Barry.

Or, according to the first Post-Crisis series, Green Arrow and The Question (with a little of The Butcher on the side).

Oooh, so that's how Barry turned into the Black Flash. He read the entire Internet! That'd turn anybody evil.

I know that this is all very serious, and I'm quite liking the whole Balckest Night event, but all I cant think is how dodgy the sound effects are when J'onn's being turned into a zombie. Oh internet, you have ruined me.
