The book came out over a month ago and only the Wondergirl (Cassandra) story was posted as far as I could see so I'm posting a bit more from it since it had a bunch of stories inside.

Animal Man had a 12 page story in the book and I'll be posting 3 from it

Lyssa Drak had a story on her which was 6 pages and I'll be posting 2.

Animal Man's story begins on the start of Blackest Night with an army of extinct animals trying to kill Animal Man. He's doing well protecting his family but in an effort to battle them off tries tapping into the morphogenetic field of the extinct animals attacking him



The story then cuts to the JLA as it was assembled during Blackest Night with him and the other members getting possessed by Black Rings as they've died and been resurrected before.



Yeah, a pretty sick scene but well the Black Lanterns are attacking emotional ties so this one makes some sense.

The White Ring flies onto Buddy turning him into a White Lantern as he had in Blackest Night for all of a few panels and shows the most interesting bit of the story....



Panel 3 seems to be saying Animal Man is the Protector Deadman's searching for but I'm guessing this was more of an accident than anything. The last panel also seems to be a heavy tie in to the current stuff going on in Brightest Day and particularly Generation Lost. So here's hoping he shows up in Brightest Day soon.

Lyssa Drak during Blackest Night was caught into the Boo of Black by Scar and left there...



Lyssa's been having a bad time since then.



And Lyssa's been given a new lease on life, sorta.

Hoping she's used well, she was my favorite of the Sinestro Corps members shown thus far and of course the mystery about the shrouded figure continues.
