BLACKEST NIGHT blankets Gotham City, from writer Peter J. Tomasi (GREEN LANTERN CORPS, THE MIGHTY) and hot new talent Ardian Syaf! Deadman can't shut out the cries of the dead rising as he comes to the aid of the new Batman. It's just in time, too, as the duo face a circus of zombies including the Black Lantern Flying Graysons!
