Synopsis

Across the DC universe, the dead are rising, driven by the darkness of death itself to blot out the light of life forever. They are the Black Lantern Corps, and their Blackest Night has fallen on every corner of the DC Universe. These chilling stories see the Black Lanterns target the hearts of an army of the DCU's most powerful heroes and villains, using the resurrected bodies and minds of Superboy, Green Arrow, Catwoman's deadliest enemy, and the Atom's closest allies. The legacies of Starman and the Question, the weirdest Western heroes, the magic of the Phantom Stranger, and the power of Shazam! will all be used to fuel the Black Lanterns' fire, changing the lives of all they touch forever.
