I really didn't like the way Marvel Zombies turned out, so this just feels like a cop-out move on DC's part. But then again, it's not like Marvel has the zombie-thing trademarked or anything. I gotta see what DC does with this story.

[Mucklebones]

Looks kinda cool.

[Spawnomite]

Huh, interesting.

[Soil]

Zombies are overated

[thejikas]

blackest night = zombies?

[Filthyrich]

black lanterns are basically the undead

[thejikas]

ahhhh...

so they ate up the marvel universe and came to DC?

[skull boy]

nature at its best!

[jt4470]

Phillip Tan is drawing the Orange Lanterns in this series right?

[Kabong30]

I like Zombie stuff, but it's making me sad to see all this **** with Zombies thrown in.

[WhO Iz THiZ Iz]

will have to see how this sums up before saying yay or nay

[AI_O'Malley]

They're more like demons or deadites. They are intelligent and really evil and they dont eat brains.

Plus, DC is doing this in their main universe. No ***** alternate dimensions to cover the story consquenecs.

Isn't that a spoiler for those who are following the story?

yea no ****...that sucks.:(

[Bigsauce]

I didn't dig the whole Marvel line either...or story. But I'll at least give these guys a shot.

AWESOME! So it will be like the most recent Marvel Zombies mini which took place IN CONTINUITY.


:rolleyes:

[nightmare alien]

I like that Red Lantern guy.

[cjclifford]

How many different lantern corps do they really need? Really?

[thejikas]

a couple of dozen?

[rxsheepxr]

Zombies are overated

Spelling is overrated.



Seriously though, there's nothing wrong with zombies as long as it's done correctly.

[SSJ4Vegeta]

I cant wait to get both series. I hope they give us a series 3 with Angent Orange and a Violet Lantern.

[Mr. Yac]

i think these look pretty damn cool, i love the alien lanterns and the black ones look cool too

[Psymon]

ahhhh...

You know, DC's Mr. Mxyzptlk occasionally gives some hints about him being the same characters as Impossible Man (Fantastic Four character) in Marvel. Like, when he changes his appearance into something that looks like the Impossible Man, or when he says he met some "new fantastic friends", or he's off "playing with his other 4 friends". Would be kinda funny if the infection came from that ;)

[Dragonstorm]

I like that Red Lantern guy.

Yeah I like that one too.

[OK-COMPUTER]

It's gonna be soooooooooooooooo good. It's not a ripoff of the Marvel's zombie craze, it's an important plot point of the "Blackest Night" storyline in the Green Lantern comics. Basically the deal is any dead person in the DC universe can come back to life as a Black Lantern and wreak havoc. I normally stick to Marvel and don't really read much DC stuff (but Marvel's been losing me lately...), but I do read "Green Lantern". Not to be overly dramatic, but it's pretty much the greatest superhero comic ever. It's like "Star Wars" meets "Law & Order" meets "The X-Files", with a massive injection of unfiltered awesome.

[zombiekiller333]

I love green lantern and what Johns has done with it is awesome. I haven't bought a figure in over a year but I might have to pick these up. I think it is mental that DCDirect has already spoiled who two of the black lanterns are going to be but I pretty much assumed they would be anyway.

[Metroid9989]

Hmm I like those. Marvel Zombies got old. quick.
