Brightest Day *Spoilers*

Yeah...

Ok BC lets see...It might be easier to do it title by title:

Green Lantern: Since Blackest Night, the various Avatars of each Corps has come become the main focus.  Apparently all the remaining Avatars (except Ion) are on Earth.  A mysterious midget in a tattered cloak with Green Lantern Chains has captured Parralax and has designs on the others.  Hal teams up with Sinestro and Carol to track the other Avatars down.  They tussle with Atrocitous and then Lobo (who is looking to collect a bounty on Atrocitous' head). Later it is revealled Atrocitous arrange the whole fight to earn Hal and the other's trust.  Hal goes off in search of Larfleeze, because he somehow trapped his avatar Ophidan in his Lantern many years ago.  Hector Hammond breaks out of prison and steels Larfleeze's orange Lantern.  He swallows it and becomes the host of Ophidan.  Hammond then races off to find Carol, because he's obsessed with her.  Hal and Larfleeze find her fist, but they get tied up fighting a man possessed by Predator, the Avatar of Love.  Carol seperates Predator and its host by kissing him (showing him real love) and Predator is now subserviant to her.  She returns to Zamoran with the Predator and the rest go off to investigate a young woman who has become host to Adara, Avatar of Hope.  That's about where we're up to.

Green Lantern Corps:  Basically the first arc out of Blackest Night has been about a battle with Cyborg Superman.  He's taken control of the Alpha Lanterns, and is forcing others into becoming Alpha Lanterns. He even made himself into an Alpha Lantern.  He's doing this because he wants Ganthet to kill him, he was told by the mysterious robed midget that Ganthet would be able to destroy him.

Emeral Warriors: This title has a bit of mystery to it.  Like you said BC, Guy Gardener is working with Atrocitous, we just don't know to what end.  So far we've seen Guy begin an expedition into the Unknown Sectors to explore and nullify any threats, though we're not sure why.  Arisa and Killowog have come also, though they're unaware of his mission.  Firstly he goes to the Blue Lanterns to purge him of the lingering affects from when he wore a red ring, however Atrocitous sends Bleez (red lantern with bone wings) to stop him as he'll need both the green and red power to stop whatever he's going to face.  In the Unknown Sectors we've seen a huge purple guy with a flaming sword and lots of snakes trying to further some agenda.  He's a telepath, and has collected lots of other telepaths, with which he's building some sort of eye shaped device.  He's also mentally convinced some green lanterns that he's a Guardian.  Oh and he's also working with the Mysterious Midget.  Also, the Mysterious Midget approached Sodam Yat, who's it the heart of the Daxamite sun, and rips Ion from him.  The sun turns back to yellow, depowering the Daxamites, killing some.  Sodam plummets back to Daxam and learns that while most want him dead, some revere him like Jesus.

Brightest Day: You might be better of reading wikipedia for this one, but he's the brief:  Lots of seperate stroies about the twelve thet were resurected at the end of Blackest Night.  The focus is on Deadman, the Hawks, Martian Manhunter, Firestorm and Aquaman.  The others must be having their stories told in other series.  The main story revolves around Deadman, who has received a white ring and is being carried abound by the White Lantern.  Eventually he learns the White Lantern needs a porector and its his job to find him/her.  Meanwhile Aquaman is trying to protect the new Aqualad from his father Black Manta, and some of Mera's people who want to kill Aquaman and Mera also. Martian Manhunter is facing off with a psycho Martian Woman.  The Hawks have tracked Hath Set into Hawkworld, Hawkgirl got captured and Hawkman is leading an army of cat people to save her.  Lastly Firestorm is having issues with his/their powers.  Turns out somehow the Black Lantern Firestorm has survioved within them and has manifested itself. Its taken ahold of the White lantern and is taking it to some mysterious master.

So what's been going on with Jade, Hawk, Maxwell Lord, Osiris, Anti-Flash and Captain Boomerang since they were revived?

Gib meant Hawk from Dove and Hawk.

Hawk is part of the new Birds of Prey title with Dove (and Oracle, Canary, and Huntress o'course).

To me, the series (Brightest Day) never was "steaming" but rather at a constant shimmer. Nothing is blowing me away per say, but I'm still interested in seeing where it is going. I have faith that like 52, this will build to something great.

Anybody read the latest BD? I love what they did with the hawks. I'm curious what the white ring did to them at the end. I'm starting to gain interest in this book again (after that boring Martian issue which I skip). And I can't wait for the aquawar.

Is there anyone operating as the White Lantern (in white, using the white ring and white power battery)?

When Deadman looks at guys like J'onn HE can see a white ring on their hands too. But they can't.

SPOILER

Something freaky related to his white ring is going to help him. Gut feeling.

Originally posted by Gibbering Fool Originally posted by EvilMonkeyPope SPOILER       I can't believe they went to all the trouble of bringing back  Aquaman with both hands and then they go cut one off again! Lol I loved Black Manta's line when he cut it off, "What are you crying about, you should be used to that by now." The white ring will heal him or he'll get a water ahnd, no biggie. I'm thinking I missed an issue, what happened last issue that resulted in the White Ring vaporising the Hawks?

After the Hawks stop the whole Hawkworld plot, they return home and start making out. The White Ring then teleports Deadman to them, saying that they've fulfilled their mission. However, they can't survive together - they must live apart. The ring starts to pull them apart when they both declare they would rather die! Their love for each other is greater than their love for life! The Ring makes a comment like "That doesn't make sense, but okay." and then vaporizes them, much to the horror of Deadman, who can't do anything to stop it.

It was a really surprising turn of events, I was totally blown away.
