Blackest Night #8 cover preview

[sherkahn]

What's black and white and-, ok I'll shut up and let the art speak for itself.

DCUBlog has the uncolored cover to #8.

Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;
For those whom thou thinkst thou dost overthrow
Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be
Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow
And soonest our best men with thee do go
Rest of their bones and soul's delivery.
Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,
And poppies or charms can make us sleep as well
And better than thy stroke. Why swellst thou then?
One short sleep past, we wake eternally,
And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die!

- John Donne

Well, Nekrons gone. But now I'm afriad of Sinestro again.

[sinisterlink]

His face is kind of scaring the crap out of me on that cover. He looks like he's about to eat someone. 0_0

Anyways, I hope at the end of things he doesn't keep the white outfit. It just doesn't seem to go well with his skin color. lol

White Lantern is the new Oprah. "EVERYONE LOOK ON YOUR FINGERS! YOU get a Lantern ring! YOU get a Lantern ring! You ALL get Lantern rings!"

[sinisterlink]

lol. That would be awesome. And then Larfleeze can run around tackling anyone who happened to get an orange ring.

You know, I keep wondering if the whole ring thing was real, which one I would get. Probably one that isn't even around yet. The ring would be all like, "Sinisterlink, you possess great laziness. Welcome to the Procrastinator's Lantern Corps!" But I wouldn't even notice it showed up because I'd be too busy watching tv or sleeping or something.

[stig]

I recall reading a dialogue on an internet message board:

"Bruce Wayne of Earth, you display great powers of emotional indifference. Welcome to the Brown Lantern corps."

"Hh."

[tacobob]

The MEH Corps!

[katzedecimal]

Mine would be Grey Lantern Corps, I think. We're capable of great depression. Our power of hopelessness can completely drain and disable a Blue Lantern, drain the will of a Green Lantern and we're strengthened by proximity to an Orange Lantern. But we can be overthrown by the Violet and Indigo lights. Our Guardian is Marvin the Paranoid Android and our Entity is Eeyore.

[sinisterlink]

"our Entity is Eeyore."

That would be glorious. :D

[leikomgwtfbbq]

Oh yeah. XD

And when the Entity shows up, he just goes "Thanks for noticin' me. :("

[darkeyedresolve]

Find your bliss!....as a member of a multi colored ring wearing space corps.

[sinisterlink]

Love Larfleeze holding his power battery so tight. I can't wait to see all the shenanigans he gets into after this event is over. He seemed quite interested in Earth after Luthor was yelling at him about how everyone on it is ruled by greed.

[zordboy]

At the end of the day, Larfleeze is damned entertaining. I'm looking forward to seeing him deal with Earth culture, I tell you.

"You people compress an ENTIRE ANIMAl into one greasy lump, and STILL fit pickles and cheese under the bun? I'LL TAKE SIX HUNDRED!"

[halloweenjack]

"Tastes great and less filling? I... I r-really can have it all, c-can't I?" *sob*

[darklorelei]

Larfleeze/Liz Lemon OTP?

[robogeek]

This is my face when I'm sending out power rings.

What's interesting about what's been going on with Sinestro is that, now, the whole GL story seems to really be about him, because he's the only primary character that really goes through a progression. Hal changes and then does his best to change right back. Sinestro, on the other hand, has been through an interesting and more complex trip.

[stig]

When you think about it, every important Hal story in Johns' run thusfar seems to have featured his no.1 enemy in some capacity...oh dear. We've been had. None of us have been catching HAL fever; it's SINESTRO we've been worshipping!

[jlroberson]

No secret daughters for Hal, as one example. Much deeper relation to Abin Sur that could still generate stories. Sinestro has learned things, made mistakes, gone through a lot. The more you look at it, the more incidental Hal seems.

[autolychus2]

Yeah, I like Sinestro, but DC just killed the best Lantern of them all -- Alan Scott -- which kinda sours me on Lantern-related news, as cool as this looks.

[darkblade]

Wait when did Alan Scott die?

[zordboy]

I'm not counting any deaths as final until "BN" wraps up, to be honest.

[halloweenjack]

It's Sinestro's universe; we're all just lesser lanterns within it. kiss the ring bitches KISS IT

No no no no.

I'll stop this right there before people start thinking the brown ring and... too late.

[joasakura]

:headdesk:

[darkeyedresolve]

Less reassured and more scared by the White Lantern Sinestro

[terrykun]

First thing I notice is that Scarecrow got back his Sinestro ring from Luthor.

No Ruffles?

[joasakura]

yeah! Where's ruffles!!??

[katzedecimal]

Dexie sez "Rage Hard!"

[kintotech]

Atrocious looks REALLY HAPPY TO BE THERE 8D

Can't wait to see the colored version, and yeah, what the above poster said, we've got Sinestro Scarcrow again :o

[sinisterlink]

"Atrocious looks REALLY HAPPY TO BE THERE 8D"

Just went back and looked and wow, he sure does. lol.

[team_mummy]

Sinestro is doing the "YEEEEEEEEEEAH" from CSI Miami

[jlroberson]

Another of my Photoshop travesties. I figure after all the Obama-Joker stuff this is fair...
