Green Lantern: Blackest Night
Horror Graphic Novel Superhero Space Opera Young Adult Cosmic Fantasy Zombie Fiction DC Comics
Green Lantern: Blackest Night (2010 first-edition hardcover) is the landmark Geoff Johns storyline that unites every color of the emotional spectrum into one cosmic zombie-horror epic. This is the volume where the Green Lantern Corps faces the Black Lanterns—re-animated heroes and villains powered by death itself—forcing Hal Jordan to ally with Sinestro, Atrocitus, Saint Walker and the rest of the lantern corps. The result is a widescreen, emotionally charged event that re-defined Green Lantern lore and still serves as the modern gateway for new readers jumping into DC’s space-operatic corner.
Collectors prize this 1st-edition DC hardcover for its oversized, illustrated presentation: every page of Ivan Reis’s intricate pencils and the glowing neon palette pop under the protective dust jacket, making the Black Lantern rings feel like they’re burning right off the paper. The book is built to last—solid sewn binding and heavy stock survive repeated re-reads or shelf display—while the tight, fast-paced prose keeps the saga accessible to middle-grade fans and adult readers alike. Light creasing along the top edge of the rear jacket is the only flaw; interior pages are pristine, unmarked, and free of the spine-roll or dog-eared corners that plague most thirteen-year-old comics tie-ins.
Whether you’re gifting a young reader their first cosmic fantasy, hunting the centerpiece for a Green Lantern shelf, or filling the last gap in your Blackest Night/Brightest Day run, this copy delivers the complete, unabridged Johns epic in the most durable, display-worthy format DC produced. Demand for first-print hardcovers keeps rising as the storyline influences film and streaming adaptations, so landing a clean, jacketed copy now means owning both a gripping reading experience and a blue-chip back-issue investment.
