In Issue #1, we lost Hawkman and Hawkgirl to Black Lantern Ralph and Sue Dibney. Who will fall in issue #2? Well I’ll be going into detail on that after the jump, so don’t go commenting or reading the rest of this entry until you have read it for yourself.
It is a testament to Geoff Johns‘ writing that this epic event is starting out with far more promise than Final Crisis did (as far as the story goes that is). With every panel, it feels far more dire a situation than some homeless Evil Gods run amok. The dead have risen across the universe and they are adding to their ranks with every kill. We already have some powerful corpses on the board and those are just the ones who started out dead – if they manage to kill any more heavy hitters…
One black mark on an otherwise spectacular issue was pointed out by a blogger at Newsarama. The solicit for Blackest Night#2 said it was 40 pages, it only had 24 story pages, 8 pages of ads, a 3 page waste of “Black Hand’s diary” and a 5 page preview of Superman Secret Origin #1 (which looks amazing) for the same price as issue #1 ($3.99) , but #1 had 39 PAGES OF STORY and 8 pages of ads. FOUL!!!
As much as I think I will enjoy the ride, I can’t help but speculate on what could possible resolve this ungodly situation. Read that and a play-by-play of issue #2 after the jump!

The Dead-Titan-on-Live-Titan violence escalates this fall! Black Lantern Hawk has his talons set for the female Hawk and Dove! Meanwhile, Red Star faces a frightful family reunion with Black Lanterns Pantha and Wildebeest, and Donna Troy faces her worst possible nightmare (AND ISN’T IT ADORABLE)! Plus, Black Lantern Terra simultaneously terrorizes and turns on Beast Boy!
Other Black Lanterns revealed include “Superman’s dead bride” (Earth 2 Lois Lane – or is our Lois doomed?), Ronnie Raymond, Psycho Pirate, Jack Drake (Tim’s Dad), the fallen Sinestro Corps members and a bunch of dead interstellar convicts from Oa.

This Black Lantern Roll Call includes… Tula (Aquagirl), Al Pratt (the original Atom), Sue Dibny, Ronnie Raymond (the original Firestorm), Digger Harkness (Captain Boomerang), Ted Kord (Blue Beetle), Maxwell Lord, Ryan Kendall (Black Condor), Dee Tyler (Phantom Lady), Roy Lincoln (The Human Bomb), Roger Hayden (Psycho Pirate), Vic Sage (The Question), Ralph Dibny (Elongated Man), Jean Loring (Eclipso), Arthur Light (the original Dr. Light) and J’onn J’onzz (The Martian Manhunter).
And doesn’t even include all the characters revealed as Black Lanterns! Don’t forget about Terra, Earth 2’s Superman, Aquaman and the Flying Graysons (though how would Black Hand even know to raise them? Nightwing’s (now Batman) identity isn’t public, so how would anyone know to resurrect his parents to screw with him?
