And many happy returns.

Four scans from Blackest Night #8.

Blah blah, heroes win, white light brings back a bunch of people, starting with most (if not all) of the guys who died during the event, such as the Hawks. Then there's the big return everyone was expecting out of this:

Martian Manhunter's back, as is Firestorm (both of them; seemingly Ronnie and Jason are now the two halves of the Firestorm persona). Next up:

And Deadman is alive now (he's pretty sure that's not supposed to happen).

	Original Rogues reunited, just in time for the new Flash series. I knew he'd be back, I just hoped Owen would be there too. ;_; (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 8 comments) (Show 8 comments)

Yeah it does seem like Geoff Johns used this as an opportunity to fill out his personal sandbox a little bit more. I liked Digger a great deal back in his Suicide Squad days and he does deserve a spot on the Rogues, his involvement in Blackest Night was just so low key, it completely passed me by.

I don't have any attachment to Owen per se, but I'd much rather have him in the Rogue's Rookie slot than the obnoxious second Trickster.

	I'm actually a bit surprised James Jesse wasn't resurrected too. Especially considering where he died and how that series is pretty much not in continuity. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	Aw, :( Now I'm upset James didn't come bad. Sad... (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Not to disagree with the GJ toybox comment, but I thought Digger was one of the busier zombies. IIRC he was fucking with Tim Drake over in BN: Batman and chowing down on babbys in BN: Flash. Considering that Blackest Night seems to have literally been one night, that's not too shabby. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Well, weirdly enough, he didn't resurrect Trickster, despite him dying in a crappy series. Maybe he though trying to reinstate him into the Rogues again was one time too much? (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 3 comments) (Show 3 comments)

	I just assumed that he preferred his Trickster (he created Axel, don't forget) over the original. I mean, SOMEBODY has to, statistically speaking. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 2 comments) (Show 2 comments)

	I don't think the fact he created Axel would sway his opinion much, after all, he created Hunter and had no problem tossing him in the backseat for Eobard Thawne. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Well, I do. I was referring to the time Johns tried to put the original Trickster back into the Rogues back in "Rogue War" and literally had him put Axel into a dumpster. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)
