I think that everyone that knows me and has talked to me about the upcoming event Blackest Night has heard my tirade about it. Why shouldn't I unleash my opinion on the unsuspecting interweb as well. In case you haven't heard, the next big event in DC Comics involves all of the dead heroes coming back as Black Lanterns. Ohhhhh boy, only 5 years after Marvel Zombies, way to be up with the times. The build up to this event has seen the addition of six, yes six, different types of lanterns. No shock here that each is a color of the rainbow with its own "emotion."
Red : Rage
Orange : Avarice (greed for idiots like me)
Yellow : Fear
Green : Willpower
Blue : Hope
Indigo : Compassion
Violet : Love
Now that you are up to date with the rainbow fun they are having down at DC Comics, add to the mix the Black Lanterns, or zombies if you will. Every DC character that has managed to stay dead for more than 5 minutes will now be returning with a black power ring in full on zombie battle.
What do the Care Bears have to do with this you say, good question!
My prediction for this potentially lame ass event is that to finally defeat the black ring wearing zombies (who include a version of Superman!) is that all of the rainbow color lanterns will have to band together to create a white light that will save the universe. I can see it now, Hal Jordan side by side with the leader of each lantern corp. performing a Lantern Stare and laying these poor zombie souls to rest.
I am sure the 2010 DC event will be something along the lines of a Strawberry Shortcake plot.
