BLACKEST NIGHT SAGA ESSENTIAL EDITION TP

The DC Essential Edition series highlights the best standalone stories the medium has to offer, featuring comics' greatest characters. BLACKEST NIGHT is the seminal, groundbreaking tale for Green Lantern that transcends the printed page. For new readers and longtime fans, this is a definitive entry point to the DC Universe's vast library. Start with the Essentials.

Across thousands of worlds, the dead have risen. These Black Lanterns, heroes and villains recruited from beyond the grave, have one purpose: all light—and life—in the universe. Hal Jordan has overcome death once before. As the greatest Green Lantern to wield the emerald ring, it is Hal's unquestioned duty to lead the living against this overwhelming army of the dead.

While Blackest Night consumes Earth's heroes, the seven Lantern corps empowered by the emotional spectrum must end their war against each other—or bear witness to the end of all creation. As Earth becomes the ultimate battleground between the living and the dead, there is only one certainty.
