Summary: In Brightest Day, In Blackest Night......
Comment: Those word will forever inspire all who reads this to give it all they got with no fear of personal consequences.
A being so powerful to block out the sun and starts to consumes it. None of earth (on eath, off, and even from different time)greatest superheroes could stop it. (Yes even Superman failed) Every means to stop or devert it falls to failure. And in the end, a once hero, now labeled by his peers, a supervillan is called by his succesor: Green Lantern (Kyle Rayner)to help.
This so-called supervillan is Hal Jordan going by the name of Parallax.
Bacially blacked balled by the world for the "Zero Hour" incident, he is face with the decision that would decide the future of not only earth but the entire galaxy if the Sun-Eater prevails. The story give you early hints his fate but it still hold you to every word. At the end he proves that he's still a hero, still the greatest Green Lantern as he recites that famous oath;
In Brightest Day, In Blackest Night..No evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil's might. Beware my power....
Green Lantern Light!!!!!

Summary: Final Night: Best DC crossover since Crisis.
Comment: To disclose my bias, I love crossovers. I think Final Night is worth a look even for those who don't. The story was one of the best post-Zero Hour events involving a great sneak-up-on-you surprise (Ferro).
We all know who the Sun-eater was, right? A 30th Century menace it took Ferro Lad's sacrifice to destroy. In the post-Zero world, the Sun-eater shows up in the 20th, and there's no superbomb to blow it away.
Ferro, a 20th century character, makes a genuinely dramatic entrance into the story. Everyone must know by now that it's Hal Jordan/Parallax, and not "Ferro Lad," who takes the bullet. That occurs in simultaneously dramatic and sentimental style. Surprisingly, even Jordan's subsequent re-emergence as the Spectre does not diminsh the meaningful conclusion of the Final Night story.
You have to have this one if you're a DC or Hal Jordan fan.

Summary: You'll Never Read The Green Lantern Oath In The Same Way....
Comment: DC came out with this comic event in 1996. It is largely written by Karl Kesel (an inker who trained himself to write) and drawn by Stuart Immonen (whose art improved leaps and bounds AFTER this story). Ron Marz put in his best written Hal Jordan story and Mike McKone's earlier art in this book shows how much he's improved today in books like Exiles and Teen Titans (he used to draw all his characters with very short legs!!!).
Anyway, on to the story itself. The plot and main story about an entity(?) called the Sun-Eater about to devour the sun is pretty blah! All it does is set up the story of how all the DC superheroes, including a team up between the Legion's Brainiac-5 and Lex Luthor (in homage to Silver Age Brainiac-Luthor team-ups) failed to prevent the end of all existence as we know it. Then in comes Hal Jordan/Parallax. And the story starts to get REALLY good. Especially the part when Hal goes and make peace with all his loved ones before his final sacrifice (Guy Gardner, the late Ollie Queen, Tom "Pieface" Kamalku and Carol Ferris).
The last scene of Parallax triumphantly undo the effects of the Sun-Eater and recharge the sun while shouting out his oath, "In Brightest Day, In Blackest Night..." is an awesome sight to behold. And you'll never read the words of that oath in the same way after that. It's that kind of scene in mainstream comics that give you that kind of tingling feeling in your spine and makes you say "WOW"!
