After Blackest Night comes Brightest Day

In a much hyped, yet rare early morning interview over at DC’s TheSource, Dan Didio has revealed that after the Blackest Night, DC will publish Brightest Day… a 26 issue bi-weekly series written by Geoff Johns and Peter Tomasi. It was also said that Fernando Pasarin will be handling the art on BRIGHTEST DAY #0, but otherwise, all Didio would say about the artists was that a number of wonderful artists will contribute to the book.

Now, for those of you who are sick and tired of all these events, I feel for you. One bit of good news. It seems that other than the main Brightest Day book, the series WILL spill over into other DCU titles, but instead of a plethora of tie in miniseries, a number of regular monthlies will have a Brightest Day banner on the cover instead.

Brightest Day is a 26 issue bi-weekly miniseries following Blackest Night The Flash - Geoff Johns and Francis Manapul are really bringing Barry Allen back into the spotlight and cementing him as the premiere Flash in the DCU in his own monthly. The Titans - Writer Eric Wallace and artist Fabrizio Fiorentino will be the new Titans creative team as of Titans: Villains for Hire Special. Lead by classic Titans enemy Deathstroke the Terminator, the team includes Tattooed Man and Cheshire, amongst other unnamed villains on the squad. The JLA will be getting a new member (or members)

Of course Green Lantern and the Green Lantern Corps will fall under the Brightest Day banner. As part of the event, DC is launching a new Flash monthly featuring Barry Allen. The Titans becomes a team led by Deathstroke with members including Cheshire and the Tattooed Man. What will it mean for the JLA? Answers to these questions and more when this kicks off in April! I think there is still more to be announced so expect an update later!

Guesses on who the glowing heroine on JLA #44 is? Halo? Dove?
