Bring them back a few years from now. Do not do what Marvel does EVERY year with something that is HOUSE of M related. Black Lanterns was a great story and gimmick, just don't over do it i like the black lanterns and it was great to see them again (dont forget Nekrons first attempt in the Kyle Rayner’s annual) but this could be too soon.

Do you think you're so much better because you're bitching about them while they bitch about a lame, already-been-there-done-that idea? At least, they're on topic. You just came here to bitch about other people, which makes you more of a grinch then them. Jeez, and you wonder why the general, non-comic reading public stays as far away from the comic scene as possible. Hey Paulski,

Im done with the vamp stuff still the teenie bopper soft core romance slash porn stuff is done. I am sooo sick of twilight and the like i can even stand to hear the name anymore. 30 days of night= good vampire story. twilight= bad vampire story. And it looks thats marvel is leaning toward with this storyline. this ongoing blackest night this is something i will see out til the end. i hope i wont regret it. too much anyway.

We know Deadman can merge w/ other people's bodies and Firestorm needs to have at least two bodies merge to create his hero persona. We know Hawkman and Hawkgirl have carried many lifetimes of memories in their heads over various reincarnations and that their souls are bonded to each other. And both Aquaman and Martian Manhunter use telepathy to project their thoughts elsewhere. Body, mind, soul... Sounds like these focal characters might be pieces of a resurrection recipe... Open it further to the other Blackest Night focal characters: Max Lord, Jade, Hawk, the Anti-Monitor and Captain Boomerang? Max - telepathy! Jade and Hawk - connection to chaos magic (the star heart and a Lord of Chaos)!! Plus Jade can create constructs (perhaps a new body for someone)!!! The Anti-Monitor - Massive amount of pure energy!!!!! A power source for whatever needs to come through!!!!!!!! And Captain Boomerang? Clearly, that's... for... Crap. Um... A 'boomerang' is symbolic for "We threw something away and now it's coming back"? No? Sigh... So close.

Since we don't know what the upshot of Brightest Day is, as of this moment, and we don't know what the return of the BLs is, and we don't know the connection between the two yet, its sort of hard to praise or blast DC for this, at this stage of the game. Clearly there is something wrong with the returned characters and its likely there is something still dead about them. Moreover, since DC (and Marvel) is in the business of entertainment - but trying to make money from it - its not unlikely that DC would try to capitalize on this - especially if the story is good. Why is that a surprise? We don't even know yet if this is a Geoff Johns project or somebody else's. On the other hand, I really don't like vampire stories. Almost as much as I don't like Superman missing in Action. But that's another gripe. I imagine that this was already planned sometime before Brightest Day started.

Because if he is just back in his dimension then he might still have a connection to those the white rings revived and they revert back because the Entity and the Nekron are still fighting it out for dominance over these twelve.
