Description
Terror arrives in Smallville in Blackest Night: Superman #1, the first issue of the chilling 3-part tie-in to DC’s blockbuster crossover event. Written by James Robinson with intense, cinematic artwork by Eddy Barrows and Ruy José, this issue redefines horror in the Superman mythos as the dead rise… and one of them wears the S-shield.
This dark chapter introduces the twisted Black Lantern version of Superman from Earth-2, who brings death, destruction, and psychological torment to Superman, Superboy, and the Kent family. The iconic “Welcome to Smallville” sign, now defaced with “Home of Black Lantern Superman,” sets the tone for one of the most disturbing Superman covers ever published.
Packed with emotional stakes, high suspense, and powerful visuals, Blackest Night: Superman #1 is essential for fans of event comics, Superman collectors, and readers who love their superhero stories laced with horror. A standout tie-in that delivers both heart and dread in equal measure.
