Blackest Night raises cancelled DC titles from the dead

That’s right, this January, the BLACKEST NIGHT mini series skips a month to make room for a very special Blackest night event. Eight classic titles from DC’s past will return from the dead for one month only to celebrate this mega-crossover throughout the DC Universe. Each series will pick up on its original numbering and feature characters from their original runs as they deal with the events currently unfolding in the DC Universe.

Starman #80 was the final issue of the series The Question #36 was the final issue of the series Power of Shazam #47 was the final issue of the series Suicide Squad #66 was the final issue of the series
Phantom Stranger #41 was the final issue of the series Catwoman #82 was the final issue of the series Atom and Hawkman #45 was the final issue of the series Weird Western Tales #70 was the final issue of the series

POWER OF SHAZAM #48 Eric Wallace tells the tale in which Osiris returns from the dead to “chew the fat” with a very powerless Billy and Mary Batson.

CATWOMAN #83 Fabian Nicieza has the original Black mask explaining to Selina why shooting him in the head was a bad idea.

SUICIDE SQUAD #67 Gail Simone and John Ostrander are ringside for the epic fight between a very dead Suicide Squad and a possibly soon-to-be dead Secret Six.

QUESTION #37 Greg Rucka has the one answer for when two Questions meet.

PHANTOM STRANGER #42 Pete Tomasi reveals what Blackest Night means to the Phantom Stranger.

WEIRD WESTERN TALES #71 Dan DiDio (weirdly talking about myself in the third person) lets you know what all the dead old west characters are doing in the new west today.

ATOM AND HAWKMAN #46 Geoff brings you the double date from Hell, The Black Lantern Hawks work to reunite Atom with his long dead love, Jean Loring.

STARMAN #81 James Robinson returns to the book he made great and visits some old haunts.

They have yet to reveal the covers for these issues, but the teasers showed inverted black and white thumbnails of the final issues of each series. Check them out above and click on them to see the final issue cover in color.
