We finally have the Green Lantern Blackest night t-shirts, along with more other Green Lantern shirts. If you haven’t been keeping up with the Green Lantern series, you’ll want to pick up the comics or do what I do and save a buck or two and wait for the graphic novel to come out. Friggin’ comics are just way too expensive these days.
Essentially, the GL Corps is battleing the Sinestro Corps and it’s heating up way bad! Then, right when it’s about to just totally loose it in the battle of the rings, two of the little blue Hobbit guys tell Hal, Guy, Kyle, and John, “oops, we forgot to tell you about the Blackest Night Prophesy!” And the GLs are all, “WTF? No, you didn’t tell us about no Black Prophesy, but could you speed it up here? We’re in a bit of a mix!”
According to the prophesy, the two Corps, GL and Sinestro, are to be joined by five more “Corps” that are driven by a specific emotion and color. When they show up, there’s supposed to be a huge battle, the War Of Light!
![]() Violet Lantern Symbol Zamarons’ Star Sapphires have supposedly moved to a ring and lantern motif and ascribed the emotion of love as the color’s power source. LOVE Love Love, all you need is love. |
![]() Orange Lantern Symbol Orange: The plot elements have revealed the color’s power source, avarice,[3] and that both the Controllers and an unseen character “Agent Orange” are searching for the color. |
![]() Indigo Lantern Symbol Indigo: No plot elements beyond the prophecy and its power source, compassion, and that the bearers carry staffs[3], have appeared relating to this color. They are known as the Indigo Tribe. |
![]() Red Lantern Symbol Red: The lanterns, rings, corps name, and origin point within the Empire of Tears have appeared as plot elements[16] with rage being ascribed as the power source of this color. Former Green Lantern Laira became the second Red Lantern in April 2008, the first being Atrocitus. A one-shot tie-in to Final Crisis titled Final Crisis: Rage of the Red Lanterns prominently featured the Red Lanterns and Alpha-Lanterns as well as the “Lanterns of a couple colors”. |
![]() Blue Lantern Symbol Blue: The story elements presented so far have been the creation of the first blue ring by Ganthet and Sayd and that the emotion of hope is the color’s source of power. The first Blue Lantern, Saint Walker, made an appearance in the “Final Crisis: Rage of the Red Lanterns” one-shot. The second Blue Lantern, Warth, was chosen by Saint Walker and first appeared in Green Lantern #36. |
Rumors regarding the Blackest Night series are… The Ronnie Raymond incarnation of the deceased Firestorm will be a Black Lantern. GASP! The first member of the Black Lantern Corps is the “Earth-2 Superman”. Looks like there’s a a Black Lantern Martian Manhunter as well. What’s the deal, DC’s reinventing all their heroes as baddies? We’ll probably see Kal-L and Aquaman as Black Lanterns too. Who’s next, Bucky and Maxwell Lord what about Jason Todd? No wait… Todd’s alive isn’t he. So’s Bucky. Doh! Scar comes out and says that she’s batting for the other team… no, not like that, but that shw now, “serve[s] the universe no more,” and that she, “serve[s] another force that has crept into [her] being and revealed the unfathomable power within the vacuum of space.” Lex Luthor is to play a big role in the Blackest Night crossover as well as Superboy/Conner Kent.
Think of the Guardian’s quote, “…But he is dead. And we control the dead. For once I bear witness to the book of the black, and I question what it shows me, the dead will save you, Luthor. From Brainiac. From Superman. And from yourself”.
The dead… Batman’s dead … you think Bat’s'll be sportin’ a black ring soon?
