First off I loved Blackest Night. It was a fantastic, dark yet inspiring story. I had a total nerdgasm in issue #5, especially when Black Hand lifted Bruce Wayne's skull in the air and the familiar call rang, "Bruce Wayne of Earth... RISE!" Frikin Epic to me. Anyways we're here to talk about Brightest Day
Brightest Day starts off with Boston Brand AKA Deadman destroying his tombstone and contemplating how to live his life again and thinking about the reasoning for his return. Oh yes, you read that right, Boston Brand is alive! When Hal Jordon tapped into the entity that powers the white lanterns he restored many of the dead back to life: that includes, J'onn Jones AKA Martian Manhunter, Maxwell Lord AKA some douche that Wonder Woman killed, Jade, Shiera Hall and Carter Hall AKA Hawkgirl and Hawkman, Captain Boomerang, Arthur Curry AKA Aquaman, etc., but some didn't return and many are wondering why? Why did these individuals return? What is their purpose?
Anyways... I am getting ahead of myself. After Brand destroys his tombstone he picks up a little bird, that fell out of its nest and died, and when he holds it in his hand a voice says "Live" and the bird is revived. Then a white lantern ring appears on his hand and says, "Boston Brand of Earth... Help me." He then is transferred to all of the others revived and observes what they are doing. As the reader you obviously see what he does but then you wonder... Is the Blackest Night truly over? Arthur Curry has a disturbing feeling that something bad is gonna happen, and when Jade has a talk with Kyle and he takes her hand when he turns around a black lantern symbol appears where his hand was.
This series already had me hooked from Blackest Night. Main thing I wanna know is the same as the revived characters. Why them? Why not the rest of the fallen? Some of the people not returned died during Blackest Night like Aqualad and the new Hawk and the girlfriend of Jason Rusch(the new Firestorm)Why were they left dead? Anyways I recommend you get into both Blackest Night and Brightest Day Though only one issue has been released it leaves you wanting more.
