Unlike every other ring, the Black Power Ring wears its host instead of the other way around, making the body merely a vessel for the power of the Ring to function.
The Blackest Night falls from the skies, The darkness grows as all light dies, We crave your hearts and your demise, By my black hand, the dead shall rise!
When he talked about the scarred guardian it reminded me of one that showed up in green lantern the animated series named well Scar her story is very close she does fight the anti montor in ep 20 and survived wounded but disappeared at the end of ep 24 but in the same episode at 18:44 their is a black book with the black lantern insignia on it in her lab didnt know if this was intentional or a coincidence but I to think that if the series wasn't canceled we might have seen the black lanterns in more media
Rob, Charles Xavier died like three times and came back before the death of superman comic now that comic (Superman)was far more dramatic because of the year long commitment to his death, but none the less I would think how many times Charles Xavier died cheapens comic deaths. Just a thought love your channel and your thoughts.
Depends on what sort of necromancy lore/justification Restoring a soul to it's original body to allow it to live on past it's time? Bad. Raising a corpse temporarily with a random soul to fight and serve you, where the soul returns back to the void/realm/whatever you wanna call it? Sounds good to me
This is an amazing concept. I wonder if they will ever try doing an animation on it? We have Emerald Knights, you can work off there the "mere dusk" before Blackest Night.
About time. Kept me waiting almost 45 minutes this morning waiting for this. I pay nothing for this content which gives me the right to complain about it.
American Panda yet you involuntarily put money in his pocket just by watching this video. Ad sense pays him based off of views which you and I provide. You spend time watching his video and time isn’t free. Just because you didnt directly hand him a dollar to watch this video doesn’t mean you didn’t pay him. On RUclips I enjoy is money and your time watching this video pays him directly via RUclips. This thought that you must hand someone money to view their videos is nonsense. He voluntarily makes this video and voluntarily puts it on a platform that pays via “clicks”. Stop spouting nonsense
Hey ComicsExplained, people keep saying that Hal Jordan is the best Green Lantern because he has the most willpower of all the Green Lantern. Can you make a video on what makes Hal Jordan willpower stronger than the others? Or if the other Green Lanterns have more willpower than him?
When Guy Gardner becomes the embodiment of Willpower and go against Sinestro whose super charged by Parallax and wins, let me know. Till then, Hal is known as the best Green Lantern with the most willpower. Doesnt mean he would be the best man to LEAD the others though.
well for one thing how Jordan is the only one whose willpower was strong enough to override the protections that the Guardians put in the ring and lime to kill an immortal Guardian. Something that should not have been possible to do
If they did a DC movie with Black Hand’s origin, I’d love to have a scene of him making his costume with the goth rock classic, Bela Lugosi’s Dead by Bauhaus being played in the background.
@Fre Joorfelgen its from creating the audio files. Thats not just reading. It's taking notes. Making a rough drafts and perfecting a script. Thats as good as what he is saying rn...
A random question. Who do you think will be a better green lantern villain for a green lantern movie sinestro or atrocitus? Personaly i love both but atrocitus is just a savage and i prefer him( and maybe if we will have atrocitus as the villain we will get a menhunters movie).
bizmonkey007 I had an idea: We pick up with Ryan Reynolds seemingly Hal Jordan again, waking up from a nightmare, only for us to realize that he is Guy Gardner! The whole first movie was him dreaming about what it was be like to be his rival. So we have Reynolds with his hair dyed red and sporting the leather style uniform. Someone else plays the real Jordan, but we get the same actor playing Sinestro, (hopefully; he is PERFECT). We solve everything in a humorous way and we can proceed from there.
I've been waiting for this for almost a week. Literally just been sitting at my window sill waiting to hear to hear the notification ding and have Rob tell the tale of the Blackest Night
I can remember watching a Video from comicstorian about this Story and then Reading it myself i didnt know that my Favorite comic RUclips channel made a Video about this too
Wow, that really puts things in the proper perspective. You complained that you had to read comic books...exhausting. Poor baby. I hope you recover from that terrible stress.
Black Lanterns another awesome Van Sciver, Johns, and Reid creation! Magnificently explained of course! I listen to these driving instead of audio books!😁
I always thought the Jean Grey resurrection was the first to cheapen the resurrection factor.. Superman just made a spectacle of it.. Love the Green Lantern series here Rob!
If you haven't already, because I just thought of this while watching this video, make a video on the entity for each of the emotions in the spectrum. That's if that is currently possible. And also like in this video you point out what the one specific person has to go through to create a new power ring for each spectrum.
Your channel is costing me so much money. Every new video that comes out makes me want to read more and more comics. Great job dude. Keep up the great work.
Rob- They were killing off characters in the 70's and 80's before Superman died... There used to be a saying that a person was "Bucky, Uncle Ben or Phoenix dead." Most everyone else was up for grabs. Then Phoenix came back as Jean Grey... or I should say Jean Grey came back and brought with her some Phoenix powers... it took a LONG time for Bucky to come back... meanwhile a whole mess of DC characters came back... Superman got the Most Newstime for it. I cannot tell you if Uncle Ben ever came back as a Clone or something... but I think he may be the only Marvel Long-time character that is still dead... Then Mar-vel, but he was replaced before he was dead... and afrter.
This one , I'm calling your bullshit. While I did collect comics as a very young kid in the 80's. I did stop until recently, but my two friends collected comics their entire lives. I remember joking about Optimus Prime coming back to life and then I remember the conversation going into OTHER Marvel comics and how they laughed about some characters that they knew kept coming back. I don't remember which ones, but they gave tons of examples. They might not have been Superman "famous", but they were noted to dying and coming back in some hilarious way.
Black Hand first appeared in Green Lantern (vol. 2) #29 (June 1964) he was always second string so when he was tapped to become the black lantern it was a huge twist
Imagine the last justice league movie like endgame and Batman is about to fight a whole army by himself when all of a sudden a lantern ring comes to him that would be so ICONIC just like the moment when captain America got mjlonir imagine
“The scarred guardian is a guardian who’s face was scarred”
Yes 10/10 explanation
He really opened my eyes there, never would thought
Unlike every other ring, the Black Power Ring wears its host instead of the other way around, making the body merely a vessel for the power of the Ring to function.
The Indigo, Orange, and sometimes Violet rings are also parasitic rings
Red rings replace the hearts of it lanterns
Bret your dumb read more lantern comics
If I remember right indigo brainwashes the hosts, orange and violet alters the personalites and red changes the heart
Can we have a video on these embodiments of the emotional spectrum? I'm really curious about them now...
Blackest night was the story ark that got me into DC after I lost interest in comics. Such a good story.
NOK!
The Blackest Night falls from the skies,
The darkness grows as all light dies,
We crave your hearts and your demise,
By my black hand, the dead shall rise!
Blackest night was the first Green Lantern comic I read
I'm sooooo stoked for this
That moment u realize Atrocitus was about to single handedly save the universe.
Rob you are one of the reasons i get up in the morning keep it up mate
Isaiah Rangel that's not creepy at all foo
N00z thanks

Thanks Rob for the all the content you have been pouring in. I def appreciate your hard work
"Don't cheat death"
*Raises the dead*
I love necromancers more than most, but that leap seems silly to me.
Depends on what sort of necromancy lore/justification

Finally! We are done with the foreplay, you teased us enough Rob
David Cobb i know its like i was wet 2 hours ago my guy stick it in already!
madscientistshusta lmao
But is Blackest Night the best thing coming out of DC Rebirth?
Population
joke---------->
You
Population Right over your head
RaseCarrNews Yep...
Blackest night was before the New 52.
These Blackest night explanations have been my favorite.
When I saw Batman all burned and had no skin I literally cried a bit
Did u tho?
Angelo Pellicci lmao yes
@@taqnl are you sure ?
The Saga of the Emotional Spectrum's starting with SCW, was in my opinion the greatest comics ever released.
For me, green lanterns has the greatest and epic story arcs.
You are the Neil deGrasse Tyson of comic books. Keep up the awesome videos
Underrated comment
I loved this series and all the tie ins. It was the only time in my comic reading life that I bought all the tie ins. It’s was a great DC year.
This is an amazing concept.
I wonder if they will ever try doing an animation on it?
We have Emerald Knights, you can work off there the "mere dusk" before Blackest Night.
I've read blackest night and brightest day twice over but I'm still so hyped to hear you go through it 😬😬
About time. Kept me waiting almost 45 minutes this morning waiting for this. I pay nothing for this content which gives me the right to complain about it.

BlackGuy 444 Hal Jordan already proved he has the most will power amongst green lanterns when he single handily defeated them all.
Population where's the proof?

I've been waiting for this part of the arc for a while, always wanted to read this, but the time hasn't been there.
Rob:(Hates The Story).
Rob:It's an Awsome Story.😅
If they did a DC movie with Black Hand’s origin, I’d love to have a scene of him making his costume with the goth rock classic, Bela Lugosi’s Dead by Bauhaus being played in the background.
This is getting better and better than expected
I just started reading Blackest Night this summer.
Intense stories.
Great explain.
Hi, i really never read a comic in my life. But your videos are awesome, i love listening to all those stories, thank you!
Bro a year later and I'm just watching these😂 Great videos keep up the good work.
"man, I am so tired...been reading comics all day" ...bruh lol.
I thought the same thing
Ikr
Y’all really never been mentally exhausted.. very telling
Lol
@Fre Joorfelgen its from creating the audio files. Thats not just reading. It's taking notes. Making a rough drafts and perfecting a script. Thats as good as what he is saying rn...
This is the first DC book I've ever read.
3:08
Gonna say it again: lantern Hawk girl can get the business.
"I spent all day reading comics boy am I exhausted" I want to fight.
Your vids are great and cover a lot and are very detailed. Good work man
Rob if it wasnt for you i wouldve never gained a love for the Latern Corp. Your videos on the Laterns are A1!!!! Loyal Rob Corp Member!!!!
I'm surprised this story arc has never been adapted for a film.
14 seconds old. Youngest video ive ever seen!!!
never say that again
I swear to god officer i thought the video was 18 seconds old. Not 14!
Just wait until Judge Dredd arrives lolz
Aha... and i was looking for the second part.
Little Cripple hi chris Hansen here, why dont you have a seat over there.
Dod you know this video was only 14 seconds ol?
the lead up to Blackest Night is what makes it so great. It had a very classic Claremont feel.
Blue Lantern Flash, as in image, is one of the most inspiring things I've ever seen. Have a poster of it, reminds me to keep on moving, there's hope.
A random question.
Who do you think will be a better green lantern villain for a green lantern movie sinestro or atrocitus?
Personaly i love both but atrocitus is just a savage and i prefer him( and maybe if we will have atrocitus as the villain we will get a menhunters movie).
Pranav Sriram
Yeah i would love that.
And maybe we will get in the far future a blackest night movie
גיל ברלis autrocitus really bad though? He seems like he brings justice through anger.
Nether, unfortunately. I doubt they'll do another Green Lantern movie considering how bad the last one was.

This is one of my favorite green lantern stories
Great video. Could you do an "entities" video going through the different rings sources?
thank you for your hard work Rob!
liking the berserk music thing comicstorian was using every friday lmao
Rob I love your videos man keep it up dude
So much hard work here bro, great job :)
I can remember watching a Video from comicstorian about this Story and then Reading it myself i didnt know that my Favorite comic RUclips channel made a Video about this too
Well well well youtube recommend section is finally giving me some dope stuff to watch. This was epic thank you
Wow, that really puts things in the proper perspective. You complained that you had to read comic books...exhausting. Poor baby. I hope you recover from that terrible stress.
Wow glad your back and that we finally got here!
Yooooo that was hype Rob!!! Very good start to Blackest Night ^_^
I love this the black lantern corps is my favorite of the lanterns black hand is one of my favorite super villain ever this was amazing I loved this 😁
Well well well. It's about fucking time. It seems like i have been waiting forever for you to release a Black Lantern origin video.
Been waiting for years for this!
Black Lanterns another awesome Van Sciver, Johns, and Reid creation! Magnificently explained of course! I listen to these driving instead of audio books!😁
This is why people should never underestimate minor characters/villains. A story is only as good as its villains.
Thank you Rob.All the way from Melbourne Australia.
Congrats on 1 Mill Subs
I was never much of a Dc fan but thank you so much showing me Green Lantern
Mad love yo
I always thought the Jean Grey resurrection was the first to cheapen the resurrection factor.. Superman just made a spectacle of it.. Love the Green Lantern series here Rob!
Your videos are soooo damn good. I used to hate the Tony Stark character until your vids on his origins. You do a great job.
when black hand killed his family then himself made me fell in love with the character
Perfect timing, I was wondering about this order looking at other youtube vids
If you haven't already, because I just thought of this while watching this video, make a video on the entity for each of the emotions in the spectrum. That's if that is currently possible.

hell yeah Robert keep up the great work
This guy should do a podcast
This is amazing I love the black lanterns 😁
batman has too much sauce
Where do I start with this series to get the most out of it? These videos have made me really excited to try to jump into it
Black Hand first appeared in Green Lantern (vol. 2) #29 (June 1964) he was always second string so when he was tapped to become the black lantern it was a huge twist
Hell yeah we're starting blackest night!!
Hand: Whats dead should stay dead.
Hand: Let me reanimate all those dead corpses for a bit.
I really like your channel 😊
This would be so amazing and a huge buff for Batman
Really cool Big Rob
Yes more of this please!
Thanks, Robb. Always engaging. Tired of not getting any response from you, though.
Loved the ending hype!
And this is why comics are amazing.
Dope video!!!
Imagine the last justice league movie like endgame and Batman is about to fight a whole army by himself when all of a sudden a lantern ring comes to him that would be so ICONIC just like the moment when captain America got mjlonir imagine
Blackest Night finally begins. Hell to the yes!
Hey Rob, do you ever go "here we go again" on explaining the Manhunters?
Parallax Hal Jordan vs Thor would be an amazing fight
Population uhh idk rune ling is op af but do is parallax, and bro stop liking your own comments seen you do it on 5 different occasions now
I'd be cool to see a video on CAPTAIN COMET. He's "DC". The term MUTANT in comics was first used in his comic.
00:29 You were reading RUclips comments? You're a brave man.
