"Death compels us because powerful or weak, loved or hated -- no one escapes death. That includes you. The dead will rise. And you are connected to them all."
Throughout the decades, death has plagued the DC Universe and taken the lives of heroes and villains alike. But to what end? As the war between the different colored Lantern Corps rages on, the prophecy of the Blackest Night descends and it's up to Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps to lead DC's greatest champions in a battle to save the Universe from an army of undead Black Lanterns made up of fallen Green Lanterns and DC's deceased heroes and villains.
This issue is reprinted in the Blackest Night hardcover collection, released in September, 2010, and the Blackest Night trade paperback collection, released in September, 2011.
This issue shipped with a variant cover illustrated by Ethan Van Sciver.
