Green Lantern---Blackest Night (Spoilers)

[The Mike]

Comic Books not film....not yet anyway.

ok, since you posted spoilers.

No way in gods green earth Lois Lane stays dead. She has always been the one constant in Clarks life. she is his link to humanity, that stops him from totally feeling alien.

that alone, will show there is someway to come back from a black lantern death

Okay, I'm new here but let me try and help. The "Lois" you saw wasn't our modern Earth 1 Lois Lane. It was Kal-L's wife, the golden age Lois Lane of Earth 2. She died back during Infinite Crisis. Our Lois Lane is still very much alive and running around in the pages of the Codenameatriot story in the regular Superman titles.

I find it weird that the color scheme of the Black Lantern ring is opposite to what we've seen so far.

Actually that is what the Black Lantern rings tend to look like when on people. They glow and the markings are what turn black while everything esle glows.

Plus I think they stole that pic from the Lantern Ring set DCD is selling for $200 so I bet we just get straight single colored plastic ones again.

I was thinking it might not be the same Lois when Black Lantern Superman said "my wife." But it was Mrs. Kent that said Lois and those of us not real up to date with Superman comics just assumed it was the "real" Lois.

Thanks for clarifying that

that would make better sense. Just threw me off, because Clark said she was on her way, and Ma asked if it was Lois.

good point. Awesome first post.

I haven't bought Superman: Blackest Night title yet because I didn't want to drive the LCS (20 miles each way) to get just one book. The troublesome thing about DC is the melding of the various Earths. It gets fairly confusing for folks who haven't been following the books for some time... It took me a while to catch up and I still get things confused.

Picked BN: Superman today...gonna read it later.

So if the BL's are in our Earth, it could mean they are not in others?
and
Can characters go back and forth between Earths?

There is only one Earth now. E2 Supes was one of the heroes from various Earths who fought to save the Multiverse from destruction during the events of Crisis on Infinite Earths and was present at the battle at the dawn of time in which the five remaining Earths were merged into a single universe.

That is why he still existed and still remembered the history of his home reality, even though no one in the new reality remembered he had ever existed. Alexander Luthor of Earth-Three transports E2 Supes, the E2 Lois, the Superboy of Earth-Prime and himself into a paradise dimension and sealed themselves off from the universe.

During Infinite Crisis, Alexander and Superboy are trying to rebuild the multiverse while E2 Superman is trying to bring back E2. Its during this that they all break out of the "Paradise" holding and interact with our Earth known as E1. Lois (E2) dies in this saga and E2 Supes (Kal-L) teams with E1 Supes (Kal-El). Its at this point in a battle with Superboy Prime that Superboy Prime savagely beats Kal-L to death.

Kal-El then intervenes and eventually manages to take down Superboy-Prime, who is then imprisoned by several Green Lanterns. Kal-L passes away in Power Girl’s arms after telling her that he’ll always be with her and whispers "Lois" as his last word. All of this happens in our reality or Earth and so E2 Superman and E2 Lois are both able to be effected by the Black Lanterns.

thanks!!

im kind of a big blue fanatic so i try and stay up to date on all things superman. so how about the zor-el resurrection? think of the repercussions thats gonna have on new krypton and all of the new kryptonians!! these events must be taking place after the codenameatriot storyline thats running. you would think thatd be a foolish decision because even as powerful as the black lanters are can they possibly stop a few thousand kryptonians all with supermans powers?

Yeah, I bet Patriot ends about a week before BN kicks off. Great issue with Zor-El, Supes Earth 2 and Lois Earth 2 causing all kinds of havoc. Smallville is sure going to get pummeled.

 

[hairlesswookiee]

Just a quickie!

Patient Zero of Earth... RISE!

Its a bad pic of the ring itself, but I thought this would be more interesting than just it laying on the table. You at least get the idea.

that looks pretty cool!!! i need to track me down one of those rings.

more rings coming

https://www.bleedingcool.com/2009/0...ntern-ring-collection-set-to-boost-dcs-sales/

in the worst tie in issues

well, you gotta do what you gotta do. you can always buy the book for the free ring and turn around and sell it on ebay or kindly donate to the little kid behind you in the LCS


~~hey mods is there any chance we can get this thread as a sticky?? like the Dark Reign discussion thread in the marvel section.

 

[cjf28]

the Titan issues, I was going to skip. but issue 2 and 3 covers look awesome

 

[The Mike]

Decided to give the ring the Buttmunch treatment.

 

[cjf28]

I realize Im alot slower than everyone else,

but did everyone else notice the Tales of the Corps covers all fit together?

 

[The Mike]

Yeah, it was based on this image.

 

[cjf28]

[Avfin]

Oh great --I did not know that

 

[warmachine]

This cover alone let's me know how badass this series is gonna be
