It's really thoughtful for the Black Hand to make everyone new costumes when he zombifies them. I didn't know he was so craftsy. ;D
Does look really cool though. Should be a fun event.

I love the colours in the Firestorm pic.

Indeed. Though I'm a bit underwhelmed that the last issue of GL reduced their zombies to just "BRAINS!" Don't get me wrong, brains as a motivation to be evil is fine but I was expecting more considering how sophisticated they wanted to play this. I think that last page just sort of cheapened the event for me.
I have two responses for the new costumes crack up there. One part of me (the fanboy one) wants to tell you that EVERY ring comes with like a costume preset and most characters have a variation of that preset as explained in Green Lantern whatever I'd look up the issue if I was hardcore about it.
The OTHER side of me wants to say that this is just undeniable proof that Black Hand is just a big ol' raging queen. He wants to show these guys that it's simply just never too late to fall in love with fashion. Some say black is totally not a summer color, but Black Hand wants to prove them wrong with his big universe spanning fashion show.
He put Martian Manhunter in a tiara for fucks sake.

I love the colours in the Firestorm pic. Do you really? I hate them. When I first saw them I wondered who heeded to put the crack pipe down, it's so confusing. The others are good though. Except the variant. That one's not doin it for me at all.

I'd go with explanation number two. Given how important the rainbow colored rings and outfits have become I'd say that the Black Hand is about to show some bitch ass Lanterns how to work it.
*resists the urge to make a bitchy finger snap*
The inclusion of Dead Man is pretty interesting there.

Especially because Deadman is probably going to fight his own dead corpse. Fun!

Superman is similarly going to fight his own Corpse... kinda. Still though, FUN!

Its either a good sign or bad sign when a preview is only 3 boring ass pages. Hopefully it just means every other page is fucking badass they can't preview it.

The preview doesn't look that impressive. But the last issue of Green Lantern really got me excited for Blackest Night. In Johns I trust!

I'm not expecting the first issue of Blackest Night to blow me away. As long as it's better than the recent Orange Lanterns arc on Green Lantern, I'll be happy with that. I think/hope the mini-series will pick up steam as it moves along, but like most events, it doesn't strike me as a first issue will blow my mind kind of deal.
Basically, it's no Final Crisis, but that's okay.

SPOILERS! Holy Shit, the Hawks were brutally murdered--- by the goddamned Dibneys! I mean, bashed-in-the-face-with-a-mace, heart-ripped-from-chest murdered...! Motherfuckingsonofabitchcocksuckingmotherfuckers! I don't know how it possibly can, but this better end well. I want Aquaman (the real one) back, I want J'onn J'onzz and I want Carter (though I get the feeling I'm gonna get Katar, which won't suck, but still...)--- fuck Batman and his pointy ears and stupid cape, I could care less what they do with him (not exactly true, but I am on a tear). Loved it when Scar ripped out the throat and heart of that other Guardian. Can't wait until Scar and Ganthet throw down (you know it's coming). Midget slapfight! Ah, well. I need a drink.
