Welcome back to the Comicast!
We're wrapping up our two-and-a-half episode long coverage of Green Lantern and the Blackest Night event, so be sure to listen to our last two episodes before starting here, as spoilers abound!
We ended the last episode talking about the final battle and some of the aftermath, but avoided too many spoilers so that we could have a more in-depth discussion for the final episode, so listen in and bear with us as we fall of the rails more often than our editing team can count, as we dig deeper into the intricacies revolving around the Blackest Night!
Once again, flowers to the creative team that contributed to both collected volumes of Blackest Night and Blackest Night: Green Lantern, listed below:
Both series were written by Geoff Johns, while the former was penciled by Ivan Reis, inked by Oclair Albert, and Colored by Alex Sinclair, while the later was penciled by Doug Mahnke, Ed Benes, Marcos Parz, inked by Christian Alamy, Doug Mahnke, Tom Nguyen, Rodney Ramos, Mark Irwin, Ed Benes, Luciana Del Negro, Rebecca Buchman and Keith Champagne, and colored by Randy Mayor, Gabe Eltaeb, Hi-Fi, and Carrie Strachan.

Jeff, Madison, and Sam kick of the new year by going back in time to the beginning of one of Sam's favorite sagas in comics: Geoff Johns' Green Lantern! We received a request for an episode on the Blackest Night event that turned the DC universe upside-down and liked the idea so much that we decided to throw in a bonus episode to dip our toes into the vast saga that follows Hal Jordan from life to death, back to life, and up against death itself all over again!
This episode focuses on Green Lantern: Rebirth (not to be confused with the 2016 event of the same name), originally published in 2004, which brings the most iconic space cop back to the center stage after years of repenting for his villainous ways, all while setting up the dominos that eventually fall during the Blackest Night. This story by Geoff Johns, with art by Ethan Van Sciver, is the perfect jumping off point for those looking to dive into the world(s) of the Green Lantern Corps!

Welcome back! We ended our pilot episode with the intent of coming back to finish our discussion on the DC Black Label title-turned-trilogy by Sean Murphy, and we finally did it. Madison takes over for Max and tells Jeff and Sam why the Joker going good can be such a headache. We had a lot of fun diving into how we all interpreted this novel and the characters it presented! Let us know if you want us to cover the second issue of the series, Batman: Curse of the White Knight, by connecting with our socials below!
P.S. The audio got a little choppy on us during the recording of this episode. We'll have it fixed by the time we record!
