Brightest Day

Not just as a BL but fully back. So I think it will be interesting to see who is resurrected and who isn't and the reasoning behind it and how it happens.

Re: The Black Lanterns - As for "closely affiliated", does that apply to the entire deceased population of Star City? I don't think it's necessarily just closely affiliated but anyone who can create an emotional impact on the character being targeted because it's the emotional impact they're after.

I think the remaining 2 issues are going to be fun!

Do you mean Coast City? Well, Fatality's entire people and planet were brought back to screw with John Stewart, so why not?

My theory: Nekron permitted key heroes back to life. Thus, defeating him, wouldn't that create a rift of some sort, coasting against Nekron's barriers? In other words, dead characters maybe able to find their way back to their bodies.

But based on the people on the cover, your guess makes sense too.

You think he'll be called Aliveman now? With a big "A" on his chest?

“Twelve characters have been resurrected,” added Johns. In that number is Boston Brand, better known as Deadman, “who we’re calling ‘Aliveman’” said Johns.

Some nice teaser art.

BlueMaxx wrote:Me thinks that the "resurrected" characters aren't going to actually be themselves, you know? Kind of like Swamp Thing or Ben Reilly, in that only the consciousness, their "soul," is only a clone of the originals. They'll all be revealed to not be the original, which will create this identity crisis, this mock-life. The Black Lantern's were only mocking the souls of these characters and that'll only mean that they aren't what they seem.

(Haven't read the issues, but I'm pretty sure I know what happens to the Black Lanterns that are touched by White Lanterns.)
