All roads lead to Earth.
The final showdown starts.
And it's somehow still night.
Green Lantern: Blackest Night Thread #3
And here we go...
TOOT TOOT
>>66679029
Is Salaak still being his wonderful self at present?
>>66678933
On reflection, the abundance of really good reaction images that can be harvested from this event makes sense considering it is a story about the power of emotions.
>>66679089
Doesn't it just?
>>66679052
I love that first panel. Mogo is just sitting there looking at them.
>"...Hey."
>>66679163
Am I seeing things or does Kilowog look mildly annoyed with arisia in that bottom panel?
>>66679221
I think his face is just squished because she's pressing against it
>>66679149
Yep. Actually, that's one way this all could've turned out REALLY bad. Imagine it, a story all about emotions, and the art is lacking any expressive faces. That would be impressively shit.
>>66679221
Can't imagine why
Yeah that seems to be the plan
>>66679277
By the Emperor
Good job Mogo!
>>66679401
>>66679387
Goddamn, Mogo
>>66679401
BASED MOGO
Part... 20?
wherein he's baaaack
>>66679387
>>66679401
Did Mogo just eat all the Blacks? Damn. Well done.
This is why you don't fuck with sapient planets.
>>66679517
those are the best pauldrons
except maybe Charnelle's
Barry's got this
>>66679578
her pauldrons were bigger, but he has the sweet cape
they tie for thigh high boots
>>66679517
OH NO
>>66679600
BUUUUUUURN

I mean, she didn't even hesitate.

Oh, Atrocitus...
It's Destiny.
But whose destiny?
>>66679889
>I WILL be the one
dat foreshadowing
>>66679910
Dat colour
Well, Hal, can't argue with that.
>>66679948
Johns knew.
>>66679910
Whoa! That's a lot of yellow.
>>66679960
isn't kyle boning carol in the modern GL run
>>66679960
Fucking new guys breaking these two up JUST when they got to a good point. Never getting over that.
Yeah this should work out well.
>>66679996
she dumped Hal and hooked up with Kyle, yes
>>66679982
Egad
Part 21:
wherein RED GUY 3: REDDER
>>66680014
Johns' Last Issue had the final word. And it was the FINAL word.
>>66680014
yeah it sucks
>>66680043
AAHHHHHHHHHHH
>>66679960
I like how Carol's ring perked up there for a second. Ooh, love!

Definitely. He looks so deliciously evil

>You will never have Mogo as a therapist or a doctor
>>66680571
Dat last panel. >Love
Part 22:
wherein this should have been expected.
>>66680697
The fact that the GLC is really a large family has been lost hasn't it?
Oh Lex, ya coot!
>>66680729
yep
>>66680729
And it's a damn shame!
Sometimes we get a little bit of friendship shining through but for the most part it isn't there anymore.
>>66680738
>Lex wants to make Superman his slave
It's really falling into place, ain't it Modeus?
>>66680811
Especially lately they've been a little shitty to each otherand I can't help but worry that the Hal/Carol/Kyle shit is going to destroy multiple relationships
I just want my babies to be bros again ;_;
>>66680361
>It's hammerin' time!
At least Johns is aware of the Kilowog/Ben Grimm parallel.
>>66680940
Fuck, this Parallax is goddamn creepy
>>66680969
Wasn't part of the reason Parallax was so powerful was because he took the energy of the Central Power Battery? Ergo, he wouldn't be as powerful now?
>>66680908
I hear you brother. It hurts not seeing them be loving anymore.
>>66680940
Delicious
>>66681018
You forgot to say based also.
>>66680992
SHIT
>>66681021
dem top panels
>>66681027
Parallax's power is kind of inconsistent and has been retconned, but yeah originally he'd absorbed fuckloads of power from the central battery
I've said it before, but this is the beginning of the end. This right here.
>>66680738
>He will be MINE!
GAAAAAAAY
>>66681048
>Red Lantern Spectre
everybody go home, everything is fucked
>>66681172

>>66681164

Part 23:
wherein there will be light
That memory has been locked away.Too bad the new 52 kept us from seeing Johns' original idea for it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLKyFoa2LQ0
>>66681308
which original idea?
>>66681390
Wait until War of the GL... but as I said, Johns was making serious moves toward how he'd end his run.
>>66679784

and then scarecrow went back to C list
The one with the orange light shall betray them.
Just like Atrocitus said.
Yeah so Dove has just been walking around all night, being all embodiment of light and all.
>>66681499
it never fails to amuse me that Air Wave was also Hal Jordan
I think the true cause of the Guardian's descent into madness is that all of the cool ones got killed.
>>66681596
Did that ever really get explained?
HAHAHA LEX
>>66681579
Does the DC earth have a smaller population than our earth?
IT IS HERE
>>66681430
>This is your chance to do something GOOD!
Oh Diana. This is Lex we're talking about here. Points for trying though.
>>66681679
>Does the DC earth have a smaller population than our earth?
I think it has a bigger population, actually
>>66681537
Goddamnit I thought you killed Kryb
To be fair, we all killed Abin Sur in our own ways.
>>66681655
I think it might be touched upon during Brightest Day.
>>66681679
Bigger, I believe. The planet itself is slightly bigger to have space for the cities like Opal, Gotham, Metropolis and Coast City, not to mention countries like Markovia or Qurac
GO SINESTRO
>>66681754
I read Brightest Day and I really don't think it was.
AND LET IN THE LIGHT!
>>66681776

Just peace and love and everything nice etc etc
>>66681798
BASED SINESTRO
>>66681791
Welp. Maybe it's just the whole "physical manifestation of peace" thing. It's got to be related to how Don couldn't be resurrected.
>>66681798
You were always the greatest lantern, Sinestro.
>>66679517
I...forgot that...
Part 24:
wherein it's a big smash
>>66681776
>he makes a construct of himself as GL
oh Sinestro
>>66681668
>I want to be Superman.
To be honest, Lex, we all figured that out ages ago.
Guy was the only damned good thing in this entire stupid fucking crossover event.
>>66681730
>all life in the universe originated on Earth
Okay, this is where the story is starting to lose me. Bad enough that Earth is the focus of motherfucking EVERYTHING in DC, but now it's where all life came from? Fuck off, that's just stroking it.
It's a flying refrigerator.
My snickering is justified.

Was Dove's immunity to the Black Lanterns ever fully explained?
>>66682465
>>66682497
Awesome
Part 25:
wherein no we were not Sinestro
>>66682465
>>66682497
hnnnnnnnnnng
>>66682541
We were just discussing that. We don't think so
Yeah it is
>>66682586
this is a wonderful cover
Seems fine as far as destinies go.
>>66682634
>>66682611
>Robot yellow lantern
WHO IS THIS?
The origin of Ion the Willpower Whale!
>>66682465
>>66682497
COMIC BOOKS
YAAAAAAAAAAAAY
I still don't understand the Predator all that much.
>>66682675
Tekik, one of Sinestro's most trusted and loyal members. Well that is before Sinestro ditched them for green
>>66682675
I believe his name is Tekik.
>>66682733
Predator is love without check
The yandere side
loving sometthing so much youll kill everyone for it
>>66682733
Predator seems like an afterthought meant to work in the weird 80s stuff with Carol and Predator
>>66682687
Awesome
>>66682739
He didn't ditch them! He was tricked!!
OH CRAP.
>>66682777
>>66682789
Nah I mean, what did he evolve from? The others are obvious.
>>66682839
Oh. He evolved from the first sloppy wet orgasm.
>>66682086
Would explain all the suspiciously humanoid aliens.
>>66681798
WE GREATEST LANTERN NOW
>>66682662
No Sinestro.It's Kyle's destiny.
Your destiny is to have a marginally successful spin off book, and be portrayed by Mark Strong in a so-so adaptation of these events.
>>66682897
That'll have to do then.
>>66682839
some kind of rapebeast that lurks in shadows apparently
>>66682828
You're right I should have phrased that better. But it still didnt help that a lot of his OG loyal lanterns were heart broken
That being said what happened to tekik and slushh after The John's end run? I dont think I recall seeing them in Sinestro's ongoing.
>>66682948
Sinestro is still the greatest
you'll see! you'll all see!
Very lucky Sinestro
>>66682919
gotta love the synergy between the two robot dudes.
>>66682733
That's gonna be one bad-ass, Pokemon team.Krona - The Ultimate Pokemon Master.
>>66682959
They're not part of his new crew so they're either dead or forgotten I guess
Of course he is.
>>66682708
>avarive
he just wanted to know what apples taste like
is that such a problem?
>>66683046
now that fucking sucks. At least his on going is pretty good imo
>>66683046
And to think B'ox came back and slush is gone. Don't get me wrong I love B'ox but still.
Final Part:
wherein nights pass
>>66682839
I would guess it was from a praying mantis. You know kills it love so no one else can have it and such.
Then get to it Sinestro.
>>66682430
Huh. So that's what they got the GLTAS finale from.
>>66683126
It is insectoid like parallax
>>66680845
I like in this page it shows Parallax as a cloak around Hal's inner will. Sure, there's some fear in his heart and his head like everyone else, but he's is own person at the core, and Parallax is just a mantle he wears. I dunno, I like that meaning.
Yeah that coulda gone better.
Cover all bases next time Lex.
And get a helmet!
>>66683135
>eventually everyone will die
well, they'll either die or treat you like shit, Hal
or both!
>>66683208
nicely put
Now it's a party

I like how each message is suited to the person speaking it, and each corps. I may hate Geoff Johns for shitting all over the lore, but I'll be damned if he doesn't do good events.
>>66683478
I love how Animal Man just randomly pops up in this page
LIFE has spoken, Nekron
Also, oh this is gonna be fun.
This is so fucking bullshit. It's like they tried to put the most OMGWTF moments every other page, and then have them all swatted away. Everyone is nerfed down so hard.
Try not to mess it up this time, alright?
You haven't missed much Aquaman.

Remember when I storytimed this in the past and I couldn't get this page posted for anything.
Death and rebirth really made Digger lose the weight.
>>66683651
I like how Max is standing back there trying desperately to look cool.
>>66683720
that's... kinda fucked up
Bit of a chuckle.

Who can say Barry?
BUT WHAT THERE'S MORE!
Introducing:
ALIVE-MAN!
>>66681940
Dat Carol
>>66683849
That's Fatality
>>66683777
Oh great. Maxwell Lord is on the loose now.
Actually, has Max even appeared in the Nu52?
Black Hand won't be an issue.
>>66683892
Yeah, he was the big villain in OMAC
>>66683892
Yep, showed up in OMAC.
The aftermath of his rebirth here is actually covered in Justice League: Generation Lost.
>>66683894
wuh oh!
>>66683892
In OMAC I believe.
And we're leaving the GL-related bits of this for next week.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDxhugRKZ8g
But we have one epilogue to do.
>>66683892
In Omac.
So... we'll probably never hear from him again.
Coming up, first this page.
Spooky huh?
>>66683959
Thank you very much for this Designated one. It was a thrill discussing this great comic with you all but it's time to pack it in. Will see you again next week.
Epilogue:
wherein finally the sun
>>66684009
See you around then.
>>66683959
doesn't swamp thing get the battery and ring or something
>>66684085
Yes.
But we're not going to be covering that. Just the GL stuff next week
>>66684119
ya I remember that power battery never being brought up for the entirety of the GL i read. I just remember talking to a friend and him saying Swamp Thing got and flew off into space in some other book
>>66684159
awww
>>66684219
One of those rings is about to latch on to a QT alien MILF.
Sadly, that won't turn out so great. Fucking Krona.
Oh man this scene...
These two...
>>66684394
I love them
>>66684422
WHOOP WHOOP
>>66684422
hell yeah
>>66684422
>>66684240
You know, I really love how the artist always gives Arisia and Natu nice and tight tits throughout the entire run.
>>66683551
Baaalls
>>66684472
>whacking all those science cell prisoners.
Fuck I still remember that, it was pretty fucked up even though they did try to riot and break out.
>>66684394
Scenes like this are why the overemphasis on the Earth Lanterns annoys the shit out of me.
The non-human Lanterns are all awesome and ought to have their own adventures published. The main GLC book should be changed to an anthology series. And everyone would read the shit out of it.
>>66684468
Gleason has his priorities in order.
Yeah, but it seems like you've already has some liquid refreshments Guy.
>>66684513
Be careful Guy, we all know you can't take a punch.
And that's it.
THE END, for this week
As always I hope someone out there enjoyed this. I did. See you around.
NEXT WEEK: BRIGHTEST DAY!
>>66684727
Thanks Dave!
Blackest Night was one of the first things I read when I was getting into comics and I still love it, it's whimsical as fuck
Your whole GL storytime run has been a blast
>>66684727
Cheers mate. Have a good one.
>that entire scene of everyone calling out the Guardians on their bullshit
I'm trying to decide who was more based here. Arisa for punching the blue fucks in the face, or Salaak for telling them he ain't their bitch.
>>66684727
Thanks for posting, Dave.
Blackest Night was pretty good. Admittedly, not looking too forward to Brightest Day. Like I said before, BD seems like a fairly pointless endeavor.
>>66684727
Been here since Rebirth.
Thanks Dave.
>>66685048
Lucky bastard. I've got a Flash ring, a Legion flight ring and a White Lantern ring, but I'm still missing Sinestro Corps and Indigo Tribe (and Star Sapphires)
>>66684185
i know you're like 10, but its a funeral, please keep quiet
>>66685120
My LCS is selling them a dollar each. Just need Sapphire and white.
>>66684990
The main weekly? Yeah. Pointless.
The GL stuff I think folds itself nicely into the seeds Johns plants.
thanks a lot op
>>66682086
It's the reason why Earth is the focus of everything
was a good time op, thanks
bumpin
>>66684727
thank you
Fucking brilliant. What a great story.
>>66680908
You need Alan Back as the Elder Statesman GL, then...All will be well.
>>66684727
>NEXT WEEK: BRIGHTEST DAY!
How in the fuck are you going to do Brightest Day? The main storyline was in a 20+ part weekly series! Are you going to post the WHOLE thing?
>>66691269
Actually the main Brightest Day series had almost nothing at all to do with Johns' GL era. Like...nothing.
So I'll be skipping that entirely.
>>66682036
>That fridge
ahaha
>>66682388
>>66682430
How do writers even come up with this stuff?

Poor guy, he is happy.
>>66679746

>>66684727
Took me about 6 hours to read trough all of this. First GL story I've ever read, this shit is awesome. Thanks Dave!

Don't you just hate going to the dentist?
>>66683215
>Nekron
>Rise
Well, shit.
>>66691676
I'd say the first one was focused on the endgame of "How can we create some more drama between these two guys" and the second one is "How can we get Dove close enough to the Anti-Monitor"
>>66683478

Thanks Dave!
>>66682086
how fucking old is dc earth? do these fuckers really expect somebody to believe that all life originated on earth? a planet that was not hospitable until about 2 billion years ago? in a 14 billion year old universe? what a pile of fucking shit

maybe DC earth is older than our earth
it's not really worth getting worked up over

Could someone please explain me why Nekron "revived" the only thing that could kill him?
Also, thanks Dave.
up
>>66698568
if you mean why did he free the white entity, it was so he could kill it and everything tied to it (aka anything living)
>>66679600
And then we all discover Mera was pro-choice
>>66680200
that Saphire is so damn adorable.
>>66683705
>>66683720
Fuck this.
They killed Kendra to bring Shiera back?
>>66699894
That makes sense, thanks.
>>66681917
the cutest Saphire ever
>>66701407
At least it means Carter's not boffing his niece anymore.
>>66683865
