This story follows up the Blackest Night event and we get to see what's happening with all of the formerly dead heroes that the white light brought back to life. Each one has been a given a specific task which I'm sure will all tie together at some point, but right now the characters are struggling to find their place after being resurrected. Good characters, great art, and a nicely paced story. This is really just the beginning, it's more about what happens next.

Eight heroes, 4 villains, back from the dead- but are they ALL THE WAY BACK? What's up with that White Lantern? The mystery continues to unfold in this wide-reaching follow up to the risen dead of Blackest Night.I am so far of the opinion that Geoff Johns can do no wrong. Can't dash hopes like that: the Blue Lantern might flicker and dim!

Blackest Night was fantastic. One of the best crossover events to come out of DC. And Brightest Day is every bit as good, both as a crossover event and as a follow up to Blackest Night. Make no mistake, this is essentially a direct sequel, and going into this without having read Blackest Night is a big mistake. I'd venture to add that if you read the first without the second, you get an incomplete experience. Brightest Day is about what happened next for the twelve resurrected heroes and villain...

Won't lie. I'm more than a bit confused at this point.

Maybe I'm just expecting a bit more from my comics these days. The art's good, there's an obvious setup being played here, and while the only time I've ever read Deadman was during the Blackest Night saga and here, he's not uninteresting.The thing is, we've gone from a huge explosion of powers to a near retcon, a massive scaleback, to return tension back to the comic, and I'm not entirely certain I appreciate the writer's decision to do it.I like the fact that the supes who were returned to life...

Excellent story. Well done, team. On to the next volume!But first, can we talk about Hawk for a second? Yes, this idiot. The guy bursting through a wall of his own home like the goddamn Kool-Aid Man. There's so much about this character that makes me groan.First off, these tough guy types who have a chip on their shoulder and a short fuse have been done to death. So unless they've got an interesting backstory, or a well-rounded personality, or they exist for comic relief, they're just anothe...

This is pretty good so far, but a 24 issue long event (and much, much more if you count all of the tie-ins) is pretty bonkers and I can almost guarantee that this wouldn't have suffered from being tightened up and shaved down to 12 issues.

This is excellent storytelling, and I'm totally into every part of it! I'm just glad that I have volume 2 sitting on a shelf waiting for me right now. I'd like to write a longer review, but I really can't wait to see what happens next.

Boston Brand takes a route throughout the DCU and checking on people who have come alive in the aftermath of Blackest night and from there we see Arthur and mera fighting siren and rescuing Jackson and then Hawkman and Hawkgirl on Hawkworld fighting Hath-set and also Hawk and Dove. Its a maze of mysteries and I am loving multi layered mystery here. Also J'onn and Megan vs another martian?This was a great volume and manages to flesh out so many characters and introduce a great mystery and I love

Stunning, color-filled artwork pushes it up a starInteresting storyline - I picked it up primarily to find out what happens to the characters after Blackest Night - and wonderful art. But the characters don't seem to have distinct voices, and the dialogue is definitely ham-handed. However, I am caught up enough in the plot to read the other volumes to see what happens. And the coloring work is really marvelously done.

The best part of this book was the mystery, there was mystery after mystery popping up. The mystery of the white lantern and who could pick it up, and in the end of this book why each character was brought back. Now that was all good and great but half the characters you would have to follow in a different series, and most of those series have little to do with the main story in this, and yet have a 'Brightest Day' banner. GL Hal Jordan and Sinestro pop up to see if they can lift the lantern an

No where near as good as Blackest Night at the moment. Just the DC B list dragging the story along slowly.

This trade combines the first 7 issues of th Brightest day. I bought this because I am reading Geoff Johns green lantern run, and I couldn't really understand brightest day: green lantern, so I decided to give the main event a try. This is the direct follow up to blackest night, a DC event where all the prior dead superheroes come back as zombies. In here there are twelve superheroes that used to be dead, but are revived by a white ring/energy. But it seems like the energy has an idea/a plan for...

This is a fantastic book that amazes you with every page that you turn. A must read for comic book fans.

How do you follow up the zombie apocalypse? If you're Geoff Johns, you write about twelve people, heroes and villains alike, who are given second chances at life and also are given duties to perform.Volume 1 of "Brightest Day" collects issues #0-7 and weaves together several interconnecting storylines. Aquaman is seen with lover Mera at Amnesty Bay, looking contemplatively at the water and seeing his reflection in Black Lantern form. Their story continues with Aquaman summoning dead sea life aft...

Some figures in the DC Universe should never die. Cancel their books because of low sales, fine. But don't kill them. Aquaman, Hawkman, Martian Manhunter. These three should be just as constant in the universe as Batman or Superman. The rest of these resurrected fools (minus Deadman) could have stayed in the grave- Firestorm and Hawk. Fairly worthless. And that is reflected in their separate storylines in this volume. Martian Manhunter is playing the detective, as he should be. A dark murder mys...

This is supposed to be the 1st of a 3 volume series. That being said, it was an okay intro volume but there were some good plot twists and great art so I bumped it up to 3 stars. Okay, just the fact that the Martian Manhunter is included it bumps it up a star for that alone. I'm interested to see where this is going and since Johns is writing it, I'm sure it will be.

Awesome stuff... love the Nova (Marvel) and the Green Lantern (DC) series... very cool stuff! Wish it wasn't so I could stop buying them, but so far I just can't stop reading the GL series by Geoff Johns.

Following directly from Blackest Night, the Brightest Day main series follows Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, Firestorm, Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Deadman and Hawk as they try to figure out why they were brought back.This volume sets up a lot of mystery and has most of the resurrected heroes afflicted with their zombified Black Lantern counterparts while uncovering mysteries from their past. Aquaman learns that his wife Mera's past is catching up with the both of them. Martian Manhunter hunts a crazed Mart...
