The Dead Shall Rise... [Updated]

The Rascal King · The Dead Shall Rise... [Updated]

With the Blackest Night on its way in the DCU, the Black Lantern Corps are rising. And who's among them?
Well, so far...

(Left -> Right)
Kal-L (Earth-2 Superman), Arthur Curry (Aquaman), J'onn J'onzz (Martian Manhunter), Ronnie Raymond (Firestorm the Nuclear Man)

I'm guessing that 'S' would be Cyborg, although I didn't know he was 'dead' and I don't know enought to be sure but thats Arthur Curry isn't it???

Is that supposed to be Mongul at the bottom, I don't know enough about the GL to b e sure???

The Rascal King

Sorry, I thought they were obvious, but seeing as they're not, I'll elaborate.
Yes, its Arthur Curry, no the S isn't for Cyborg (I don't know where you got that from), its Earth 2 Superman who died back in the Infinite Crisis, fighting alongside Superman against Superboy Prime, and at the bottom is the recently decised Martian Manhunter, killed at the beginning of the Final Crisis.

(Edit: put the back and white images into Paint/Photoshop/whatever, and invert the colours. I tried, but then Photobucket crashed my browser)

When I said Cyborg I was thinking of the one who briefly replaced Superman, but that Superman makes more sense.

Didn't think of the Manhunter, considering we already knew he would be one of them.

The Rascal King

Ahhh. The person who replaced Supes was Steel.
Both Black, both Metal.
Easy mistake to make, I can see where you're coming from there. To be honest, all I could think of was "Ok, its pronounced "Si-borg".

I meant this Cyborg Superman. But I guess he's been forgotten about, so noone would care if he were brought back.

The Rascal King

The Cyborg Superman that played a massive part in Green Lantern, and later the Sinestro Corps War? He was one of the Anti-Monitors heralds, (as the Leader God-King of the Manhunters, the Gardians original Police Force), along with Sinestro himself, Superman(ne:boy)-Prime and Parralax (posessing Kyle Rayner). That Cyborg Superman? Wink

Anyway, new Cover Solicit from June. Its known that Black Hand is the leader of the new Dark Corps, spewing up the first ring in DC Universe #0 way back when on FCBD last year.
Whats he doing here then?

The Rascal King

New Blackest night updates!

All you ever wanted to know about the new Lantern Corps:

(PS: DC fans! Who do those hands belong to? Any ideas?)

The Watchman

Edited to make easyer to read. Going to Sticky it as well, going to Update this regularly. I'm particularly looking forward to this event, so interested to see what else is going to be released.

Longshot

I'm interested to be reading this too, my only worry is that I don't know enough about the Green Lanterns. Can anyone suggest a good jump on point in the recent history so that I know who is who [possibly Sinestro Wars I guess].

The Rascal King

Yeah, read the Sinestro Trades, that'll give you a decent grounding. Rebirth is a very decent read as well. Seeing as it was all written as part of a Trilogy, you should probably start with Rebirth, it all ties into each other.
