The emotional spectrum was first, now the Black Lanterns have arrived. Obviously black lanterns yield the power of death. So, essentially, Zombies with power rings.

This is the main story. There are 8 total graphic novels, all of them center around this one and this one is the only one with the ending. You can read just this one and get most of the picture. It's like the skeleton of the story. There are parts that seem like you missed something (because you did) but there is so much action that it can be chalked up to happening behind the scenes.

A couple of interesting notes: First, the story acknowledges how superheros die all the time but come back, Nekron (read: death) explains why he lets this happen. It also gives him influence over them. Second, the other color power rings allow for a temporary deputization of heroes and it's interesting to see who gains which power.

It's a pretty good read, with lots of great, and BUSY, splash pages. But I'm not really a big fan of the whole Zombie craze. So that's why it's only 3 stars
