The Story
THE HAUNTING EPIC THAT PLUNGED THE DC UNIVERSE INTO DARKNESS IN ABSOLUTE FORMAT! Across thousands of worlds, the dead have risen. These Black Lanterns, heroes and villains recruited from beyond the grave, have one purpose: to extinguish all light--and life--in the universe. Hal Jordan has overcome death once before. As the greatest Green Lantern to ever wield the emerald ring, it is Hal’s unquestioned duty to lead the living against this overwhelming army of the dead. While Blackest Night consumes Earth’s heroes, the seven Corps, empowered by the emotional spectrum, must end their war against each other--or bear witness to the end of all creation. As Earth becomes the ultimate battleground between the living and the dead, there is only one certainty: no one escapes death. Superstar writer Geoff Johns (Green Lantern, Justice League, Batman: Earth One) and artists Ivan Reis (Aquaman) and Doug Mahnke (Green Lantern) exhume the DC Universe’s greatest secrets in this emotional epic that grabs its heroes by their hearts. This comprehensive Absolute Edition collects BLACKEST NIGHT #0-8 and GREEN LANTERN #43-48 and #50-52 as well as deleted scenes, the complete script to BLACKEST NIGHT #1, series commentary from writer Geoff Johns, and more than 30 pages of sketch material.
