Blackest Night (Green Lantern Story) - Complete Story | Comicstorian

[@ZexionZeroThe2nd]

I loved how Scarecrow became the Yellow Lantern for fear it fits so perfectly lol

[@slitor]

+Feel Good Music Funny enough Sinestro corps tried to recruit Batman...which also makes sense but he refused.

[@88cryingwolf]

Feel Good Music ditto lex Luther for avarice.

[@murrayfranklin8390]

Scarecrow is sinestro's biggest fan

[@RecoveringLoLAddict]

I think that concept is dumb tbh, his fear toxin is what triggers fear, not himself. Thus he doesn't possess the ability to instill great fear, only the means to.

[@thesupershinymegagengar2034]

My question is why Queen Mara was chosen for rage?

[@piccolo56000]

wow , this is definitely one of the greatest DC storylines.

[@supermovies4625]

Agreed

[@benhudson7991]

The BEST comic book line ever; Barry Allen, "Life doesn't give us meaning, we give life meaning." More than truth, it is meta-truth!

I love Scarecrow as a Yellow Lantern, i dont get how hes not one all the time though -,-

[@blackwingdragonmasta]

Natboy129 a ring hasnt chosen him i guess but it would make sense

[@Sesshyru]

Natboy129 Isn't it because Scare Crow has no interest in justice? Each of the rings tries to uphold some ideal of justice though their respective emotion. Scare Crow just wanna tear stuff up.

[@randominternetsurfersurfin7595]

I don't see the justice in the black ring nor the orange ring

[@Sesshyru]

Mostafa Shahin From what I understand, the Black Ring and Orange Ring take over the bearers mind and are excluded from the previous rule. Idk what's up with the white ring either. I wouldn't call "Life" and "Death" an emotion either. lol

[@spartanlegit1]

Death is the meaning of sadness black ring lantern is badass

[@justalegendb]

"scarecrow as fear" I would've never guessed, lol.

[@FulgurHalcyon]

SSGSS Scarecrow makes people fear him ALLOOOTT, so he should be on Hal Jordan levels.

[@raymagliacano6144]

I NEED this in a movie whether it be animated or live

[@thepip3599]

"This is during the period where everyone thinks batman is dead, but he's actually traveling through time." That sentence was awesome.

[@thepip3599]

Also, the sentence "But it gets worse, aquaman shows up." Made me actually laugh out loud. Aquaman😂. Ha, that was funny. Its like "AQUAMAN" DUH DUH DUH!

[@_Scarlet1]

+The Pip HA HA so true

[@harrambou9468]

Which makes even less sense when you remember that Batman is resurrected in THIS STORY

[@comicstorian]

Now before you guys yell at me, I love this series, have read every book to it and know there is ALOT of behind the scenes stuff that happened. But to fully understand the storylines you need to know what happened to the main baddy, Nekron. Thats what we're covering here. The next two stories are planned to be Original Sin and Red Daughter of Krypton. But here's your options for after that! Angela, Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe, Annihilation, Thanos Know Your Universe

[@antimonitor3699]

Thanos - Know Your Universe please.

[@kingoftherain]

I'm guessing it's gonna be either Annihilation or Thanos to get the most votes, but I'm going for Angela.

[@chardrive]

MM: I'm as powerful as Superman! SM eyes glow red MM surrenders SM: remember bitch

[@kfcboi860]

i lold

[@flash370]

That will never happen.

[@juliek268]

According to Wikipedia, MM has superhuman strength, speed, durability and endurance, a regenerative healing factor, flight, invulnerability, intangibility/phasing, invisibility, shapeshifting, telekinesis, telepathy, martian vision, nine senses, and a genius-level intellect. But y'know, fire is his kryptonite. You could probably kill him with a bunch of matches if you're as smart as Batman. Heh. While SM has superhuman strength, speed, durability, longevity, flight, heat vision, freezing breath, and extrasensory and visual powers including X-ray vision, with kryptonite as his...kryptonite. Personally, I think MM would win if he can get the drop on SM with his "genius-level intellect". PERSONALLY. Please don't be too angry, SM fans. But who knows? Superman could create tiny duplicates of himself with his exact same powers in one comic. Hell, he could even turn back time, and punch MM in the face before he even tries to do anything. SM is like DC's unfair golden child. But anyway, I would LOVE to see a fight between these two. There's even a forum about who would win: comicvine.gamespot.com/forums/superman-165/superman-vs-martian-manhunter-1477822/ ...Wow this is long.

[@benhudson7991]

heat vision is not fire vision, MM goes intangible then what is Supes gonna do?

[@joebrito3192]

Martian manhunter is stronger than superman but they never show it because superman is the first so he must be the best no matter what god fuckin forbid he looks weaker than anyone his weakness is magic but still beats cpt. marvel superman is bullshit but batman is an even bigger bitch

[@davidbelle07]

I discovered your Eligable Monster channel months ago and I was hooked. Then I found the Comicstorian channel through there and you never disappoint. I haven't read comics in years but I started thinking about getting back into them right before I started watching your videos. You literally revived my love for comics. I never miss a video on any of your channels. I set all of your channels as a favorite as well. Your epic storytelling voice makes the videos so awesome. Keep up all the good work. I'm looking forward to all of your future videos..

[@comicstorian]

Thanks so much! I spend a lot of time keeping these channels on schedule and keeping people informed and having fun, so hearing people are enjoying everything means a lot to me!

[@cashrock505]

Yo it wasn't Mogo that was brought back, at 3:15, it's the star sector that John Stewart said he could protect all by himself, but he inevitably failed to protect, losing billions of lives. They're brought back. That's why John Stewart is there by himself. Mogo actually saves everyone at the end of the story, by absorbing a lot of black lanterns off earth and into Mogo's ground, trapping them. He's never a black lantern.

[@ejjones9712]

This story is epic. Hoping the DCCU eventually leads to characters deaths and their rebirths in a movie adaptation of Blackest Night.

[@sorayacatfriend]

maybe they should start killing characters in the dccu movies and then bring them back in blackest night(which could be a justice league movie? Maybe the DC equivalent of Infinity War?) damn that would be epic...

[@williss11]

This was surprisingly a good comic. Mera doesn’t have a lot scenes these days and plays a background character. I feel happy she’s receive a main role. This comic really made me love her and be happy that she reunited with her beloved. But what makes me happier is how everyone in the justice league was affected by Bruce. When Batman showed up, they got mad for desecrating his corpse. Man not enough reactions of seeing “Bruce” even when Batman became a skeleton, we didn’t get to see many reactions. Only Superman quietness... This was obvious a good excuse to bring characters that died back to life. But it was well written so I have no complaints. I recommend you guys read this instead of watching the video. It skipped a lot of moving and emotional scenes!

Blackest Night is easily my favourite DC and comic book event of all time. It has some of the most amazing artwork and storytelling I’ve ever seen and the build up to it was awesome and the execution was even better. The rings choosing Barry, Diana, Scarecrow, Mera, Atom and Luthor power rings was so cool, especially Avarice for Luthor and Fear for Scarecrow, that’s just genius. And my favourite moment is when Barry says “ *Life* doesn’t give *us* purpose, Black Hand. *We* give *life* purpose” I cried reading that because my Uncle recently passed before I finished this and that quote couldn’t be more true

The lantern story arch is the one DC thing I honestly really love. I mean, batman and the flash are cool, but they are kinda boring compared to some of the other stuff out there. But the lantern core stuff? Crazy, weird, confusing, deep... and basically totally ignored by DC outside of the one green lantern. =/ At least for those of us who don't read/own a bazillion comic books.

[@slitor]

+Throttle Kitty I love GL! And I really enjoy the whole emotional spectrum concept to.

[@rvoyles91]

Started reading comics a few months ago with New 52... heard the GL storyline was immune to the reboot so I knew I had to read pre-New 52 GL... found you on here and heard this story... read the comic (which is one of my all time favorites now) and I can safely say you did the most excellent job with the dramatic story telling because while reading the comic, I just had your voice in my head narrating it haha

[@Xsjr03]

Spectre being one of the most powerful (the second most powerful entity) in the DC universe makes me laugh so hard. He gets casually owned by rediculous characters and now he even became a Black Lantern? He is a spirit ffs since when does death affect him? If the Spectre is supposed to be the Presence's right hand, then i dont know what i am supposed to say. He failed to defeat the Anti-Monitor with backing from The Presence.

It's yet again, another event comic to boost sales, and has a ridiculous retcon thrown in for the sake of retcons.

ben zhong Because all Black Lanterns are dead... It was pretty clearly explained with all of the dead people/heroes rising out of the ground. Or when the rings attached themselves to dead people. Or when the rings kept going to all of the people who were killed by Black Lanterns. Did you actually watch/read this?

[@Ben-fx9kx]

I meant to say he's not dead because of the whole omega beam ordeal in final crisis which would mean he's not dead during these events. Do you actually read comics or are you just a fucking moron with little more to do then be sarcastic over the internet?

[@AstaIsAMonster]

What happened 2 batman

[@stellasakura1757]

Basically yes. After Darkseid sent the real Batman back to the past, he left a dead clone of Batman to trick people into thinking that Batman was dead. Darkseid had previously attempted to make an army of Batman clones and failed as the clones couldn't deal with all the emotional trauma and stress that Batman had endured. Darkseid told his minions to keep one perfect copy of dead Batman that he would later use.
