Blackest Night : Superman RISE!!!

[04nbod.insanejournal.com]

Earth 2 Superman rises and walks through Smallville killing everyone he sees because he instills fear. there is some talk at the kent farm, lois is on her way there and connor gives krypto table scraps. Krypto hears something, Connor and Clark go and meet E2 Superman as he is digging up Pa Kent and they fight it out. Superman has to keep Kal-L from ripping Connor's heart out. Then Kal brings up Superman's inability to save Jonathan Kent and Superman loses it and knocks a piece of Kal's skull out. Kal regenerates and disappears. Meanwhile we find out Kal was a distraction. Black Lantern Lois Lane has abducted Ma and knocked Krypto unconscious.

I'll leave other people to post the best of that but here's the conclusion.





Connor and Clark find them on the streets of smallville,



Only one ring goes to New Krypton and I'm shocked they actually brought up the Planet of Kryptonians with lots of dead from Brainiac's attack. Jonathan kent has not risen either.

so . . . superman is a black lantern . . . Martian Manhunter is a black lantern . . . wonder woman is a black lantern(?) . . . how is good going to prevail here exactly?

[colonel_green.insanejournal.com]

Please, this is a Geoff Johns event: Hal Jordan.

[jaybee3.insanejournal.com]

And Barry Allen, don't forget him. GJ is an even bigger Flash fanboy than he is Green Lantern.

[04nbod.insanejournal.com]

That means nothing there are plenty of characters that can overpower them. the biggie is that THE GODDAMN SPECTRE is a black lantern

[interrobamf.insanejournal.com]

Well, the power the Spectre has varies in relation to God's mood. Maybe he'll notice the whole "my spirit of vengeance is trapped inside a cosmic-powered zombie" thing?

[bariman1987.insanejournal.com]

The Spectre as a Black Lantern? How does even work? Are we sure it's not just the Spectre's host's corpse that's a Black Lantern?

[bruinsfan.insanejournal.com]

The prospect would have had so much more of a "We are SO screwed!" factor if it weren't happening on the heels of several previous crossover-series freakouts where the Spectre lost it and tried to blow everyone to smithereens.

Not, mind you, that I wouldn't be shouting "GAME OVER, MAN!" in my best Bill Paxton voice if I were one of the DC super heroes and learned that particular tidbit.

[bluefall.insanejournal.com]

Psh, this is a Johns event. Like Wonder Woman is even a factor.

[04nbod.insanejournal.com]

She has her own 3 part mini that geoff is leaving to greg rucka. I think he knows his limitations with her character.

[queenanthai.insanejournal.com]

Actually, all it said was that Diana was "transformed by the events of Blackest Night." Who knows? She could get a different colored ring. My vote's for Blue.

[kingrockwell]

Or Indigo. Either one of the two (and dear god not any of the others).

[kingrockwell]

Eh, got enough Blackest Night books last week.
I bought MA: Avengers 39 instead.

[angelophile.insanejournal.com]

What, no zombie Zod?

[kingrockwell]

Oh, he's only mostly dead, if even that!

[aaron_bourque.insanejournal.com]

I want that icon. You may now fear for your life.

[comicoz.insanejournal.com]

Miracle Max has been called in.

[sir_razorback.insanejournal.com]

He has to be dead first before he can become a Zodbie.

[superfan1.insanejournal.com]

Then all will kneel their brain before Zodbie.

so i guess blackest night either takes place during world of new krypton or directly after because of the comment by Supes about his "new role after what happened to Zod", which my guess is head of the military guild like zod was.

[04nbod.insanejournal.com]

Its after Codename:Patriot and Supes is sharing power with Ursa

[silverzeo.insanejournal.com]

Good thing Krypton is so peaceful now that Zod is shot, is in a near death state, and his killer on the way to earth...

[vitruvian23.insanejournal.com]

Wait, did Earth-2 Lois have superpowers? Because how else does she knock out Krypto?

And is 'loyalty' an emotion the Black Lanterns can see in their spectro-vision?

[comicoz.insanejournal.com]

The ring seems to give them some sort of power, as Sue Dibny took out Hawkgirl without much effort and to the best of my memory, Sue was known for NOT having powers.

[vitruvian23.insanejournal.com]

Sure, but there's a big difference between the zombie form of a fairly normal woman's corpse taking out somebody who's basically a costumed athlete, and another similar zombie punching out a nigh-invulnerable doggie. I mean, J'onn seemed to have basically the power level he did in life, and I expected the other Black Lanterns to follow suit.

[silverzeo.insanejournal.com]

That would makes things awkward if Dr. Light becomes a Black Lantern... but will be consider awesome if they fought...
