Deadman : "it's not fair"
The Light : "now you trully understand life"
Deep
The Entity: "did you enjoy life? welp i'm tkaing it back AND you don't get to die, HA get rekt."
😂😂😂😂
Yeah but that's different that's like having something knocked out of your hands and then the person who did it saying life is unfair. Doesn't quite count when someone else is doing it on purpose.
I felt that
It seems to me that this "brightest day" is way more dark and depressing than the "Darkest Night". Its kinda ironic.
For being the ring of life the entity is kind of a jerk, I feel sorry for deadman and hawkgirl
WILDBLAZE12 its blackest night
WILDBLAZE12 and that's how life should be, full of misery and suffering and occasional happiness to make it all seem worth it
@FingerDawg no f you
pramitbanerjee lol you thought you sounded wise. Hell no that’s not what life is. Why would anybody want to live majority of their life unhappy. That’s definitely not worth it.
Dakeous Woods he’s just a depressed fuck trying to sound like he understands the “purpose” of life
Deadman: WTF. I did everything right. I've been a good person. I put other people ahead of my own concerns. I even put up with your cryptic and absurd plan. And yet everyone, including the prick villain, is rewarded, while I get screwed over in the end.
White Battery: (troll face) Well what else did you expect? I am the embodiment of Life.
newguy90
Deadman=Good ppl
White light=dank memes
Lol I felt that
It's as if everyone was doing all that complicated stuff, and then batman walks in with a beer, in a bathrobe and is like "oh hi, what'd I miss?" And deadman is like "I choose you!" And the lantern is like "WHAT THE HECK!"
"Captain boomerang throw the boomerang"
That is pretty sad, become white lantern to throw a boomerang...
Celio Hogane Not as sad as Eobard Thawne. What with his history of time travelling, a different dead version of him was reincarnated in Blackest Night (while the present-day version was still in jail) and accidentally freed his enemy, Flash, from the Speed Force while trying to kill him.
When the white lantern gives the 12 reborn their directives, it just tells him "Mission Accomplished, nothing for you to do" and left him rotting in jail.
vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/greenlantern/images/6/69/White_Lantern_Corps-1.jpg
lmfao get fucked, Eobard.
Celio Hogane You don't understand. He's the BEST at throwing boomerangs! THE BEST!
Seversher i doubt that is enough to be ok with being revived ONLY to throw a boomerang.
Celio Hogane Boomerang is Love. Boomerang is Life.
dont forget that someone became a white lantern to CATCH SOMETHING!!!
Ironic the life ring kills and the death ring brings new life
It reminds me of the Book of the Dead and the Book of the Living from the Mummy flicks. The BotD brought the dead back to life, while the BotL took life away.
SHEESH!! And I thought anime and manga stories were complex?!
I feel like I am looking at a college calculus textbook without images.
Lol well said; I agree :)
It was still a good story
Brightest Day was a good story, but needlessly complex, which is what stops it from being a great story.
daniel wright
You think this was a good story, Huh?
That's not what Deadpool thought before he killed the Marvel universe.
Didn't get that but good job!
This was the most round-a-bout solution in a comic book story I've ever heard. The entity did a lot of crazy things to revive a character, who he couldn't revive? Yeesh!
I guess it is saying that things don't just happen without consequence. Yes Entity has the power to revive but it still has to work withing the laws of the universe it is given.
nwatson65
That loses some weight when you realize that the laws of the universe are literally anything the author says it is, and the only reason it "can't be done" is because they didn't *want* to do it that way.
So the entity is basically some kind of effigy for "God works in mysterious ways; and he's kind of dick about it."
The message i got is that life and death are not constants
For all you who are going to comment OMG a 26 minute video! I take as much time is needed to get the story across and this is the Mystery of the White Lantern arc that follows 5 stories, so we needed to go into each story! The Green Lantern Brightest Day Arc is still in the pipeline, but this story was so epic it needed to be told.
Idc if it's long I like comics so I saw the whole thing
What happened to deadman after this
What happened to deadman after this
UnrealENTEgos GBT He went back to being Deadman sadly, there is a epilogue where he copes with losing life again but he eventually goes back to just being Deadman.
Mason Zivotovsky You are right, the big heeroes everyone sees are Gods, there are a bunch of arcs discussing that. But the reason I enjoy this storyline is that it shows the human side of some of those OTHER heroes in the universe.
I feel like I just ran a marathon! GOOD GRIEF white light, could your plan BE more convoluted?
Orphan_Darqjade Ya its crazy
+Orphan_Darqjade I'm glad im not the only person like wtf
+Geion Me to.
+Geion I think everyone was like WTF?!
+Orphan_Darqjade
I think they were trying to emulate the idea of how people say everything that happens is part of "god's plan"
and how insanely convulated a plan like that would have to be in order to have all the randomness of live mixed into it.
24:37 "She remains AIR!" I laughed because it sounded so ridiculous lol
So this story is basically Deadman being an errand boy then as a reward gets to be kicked out as an outsider yet again.
Fr… other then the GL arc this story doesn’t rlly feel like it changed anything rlly. It feels like it just set us back if anything w characters and story tbh
Is it just me or was Brightiest Day kinda worse for the characters than Blackest Night?
Whadda mean
Nope. Not just you. Life isn't fair, which I think was its point.
Life is precious, but never fair.
agreed white lantern murdered people for a purpose while that would not have happened if black lantern completed his goal which was to bring the dead back to life sorta but hey they are alive fine by me
Yea
ToLegitt2Quit nahhh I feel like the light was just being a dick just because.
"And Hank Hall was supposed to catch that boomerang, but he failed" Well shit Hank, everyone had a deeming hard task n your was to catch a boomerang hahaha jk
Lmao exactly
"You had one job Hank. One fucking job"
Maybe he didnt have someone to teach him catch
Entity is kind of an asshole who's playing with people's lives, and it's a good guy? Still a very interesting story.
that's what mortals are to gods. even when they are superheroes, they are still simply currency for their cause.
+razoreye001 Don't worry, Entity is dead.
Not all of em, luckily :)
So that was the plan after all?
Nope....THIS was the plan.
This?
No actually the plans is this!
So the plan is this now?
No. It's actually THIS. THIS is the plan after all.
Ok I think I get it. So now this is the plan after all?
Yep. But the actual plan is..........wait for it..........
swamp thing
ಠ_ಠ
Black Lantern Swamp Thing.
+Jon Eze I thought it was overall Soliman Grundy.
+Jon Eze I thought it was overall Soliman Grundy.
+Crimson SP I...I....what the heck was the point then?
Jon Eze Point of what?
I feel bad for Deadman, damn.
Everyone had a mission... etc.
Captain Boomerang... threw the boomerang.
+Any Name Will Do Yeah, well...mission accomplished!
This was one of the first comicstorian videos i ever saw. R.I.P. Benny, you'll be missed but never forgotten.
Finally, a complete story over 15 minutes long!!! Been subbed since you were under 5,000 (but never commented) a couple months ago and its amazing how much you've grown, along with being able to make videos that I'm sure take a lot of work every week. Like others do, I appreciate your hard work for our entertainment! Can easily say this is one of my top channels on TH-cam atm. Just wanted to say that :)
P.S. I rarely comment on videos but I figured I take a few minutes of my time to let you know how appreciated you are ;)
Thank you so much! As for the length, I put as much time as I feel a story needs to get its message, meaning and the juicy action bits in. Normally I can get it under 15 minutes, but with so many storylines crammed into 25 issues I just couldnt do it for this one, there just really wasnt any filler to leave out. Im just glad you enjoyed it, I thought maybe no one would watch since it was double my normal length lol
I think boomerang mans mission was the most important one...
God bless you Boomerang man, may your boomerang always return to you
"All the other heroes revived once again,....
except for Hawkgirl. She remains air."
That was truly the funniest moment in Brightest Day.
The most confusing story ever
exactly
Manuel Rodriguez Maybe even more than Homestuck
A truly weird fucking story
Read and finished the comic just recently. And yes while it's confusing but not as much if you know some of DC's myths and followed the previous arc Blackest Night. It's mostly about piecing some puzzles together. Like tying up the lose ends and enforcing Earth against future threat such as the Black Lanterns.
To detail, experiencing "life", as in whatever makes the selected ones feel lively, like experiencing joy with a dear one, eating a favorite food, even pains of losses or fighting for own life. These help power the life entity. Other stuff are doing chores like restoring balance which was damaged by the aforementioned Blackest Night's events, and preventing future threats to it. Finally some of the WLs were swiped away to be the elemental guardians for the newly formed Swamp Thing, and destroy the old vessel which was corrupted and possessed by Nekron.
The ending still leave a lot of questions, I admit.
Manuel Rodriguez I know
Well that story sucked. The lantern just gives everyone contradictory objectives and ends in a way that's impossible for all of its commands to be accomplished (telling boomerang to kill dove while telling hawk to save her, meaning one of these had to end in failure), and then leaves hawkgirl dead even though she did what it wanted because fuck you? What was the point in all of this? Nothing was accomplished overall, you could have not had any tie-ins, left the black lanterns as gone after Blackest Night, and it would have ended better and in a more interesting way rather than this bullshit.
Exactly, this stupid white lantern was completely unnecessary and meaningless. All he did was show Deadman "the meaning of life" which still didn't make any sense and could've been done in any other way besides this convoluted mess.
+Technoman The Entity was there to sores the message
Life isn't fair
Well, while I won't defend some of it (namely the contradictory objectives), the lantern did warn Hawkman and Hawkgirl that they would live happier lives if they were apart. If they separated, then he only needed to take one of their lives, and it would return and they would be reunited again. However, by refusing to separate, it just decided to take both even though it could only return one.
At least, that's my theory on the matter.
Anime9042 Not happier lives, fuller lives, and who exactly is the entity to decide what is and isn't a happy/full life?
Most of this is people being forced into doing what the entity wants them to do because it never gives them a choice and the worst is what happens to Deadman, when the entity simply decides that if you're not outside, apparently your life isn't worth living.
In any other story the entity would be the villain and they'd have to fight against its "do what I say or die" policy, as it is this story makes the entity look no better than Necron.
lich109 I never said the entity was nice. And while having a "fuller" life would typically be subjective, I'd say dying within the next 30 seconds over not would constitute having a less-full life.
What a ridiculously convoluted storyline. Especially with people dying, being revived, then dying and bring revived again over and over.
LOL. I thought that brightest day was supposed to be happy, because of the name. But no. ITS WORSE THAN DARKEST NIGHT.
Declan Hinshaw your right
It's blackest night
I was thinking, since we have black and white Lanterns, there should be gray Lanterns. I know it's been overdone and it's even a meme now, but hear me out.
The Gray Lantern is powered by Indifference. They feel absolutely nothing and thus are immune to all the other corps powers. Once the ring is put on, the only goal of the user is to survive. So basically if the user has to wipe out half a planet full of kittens to keep living, it will. This might sometimes leave them sided with the villains as they might have the advantage. The only thing limiting them is they are few in number (hopefully one of them is a android or something :>).
That sounds awesome. That should totally be a thing. I wish I came up with it.
+ION Rocket
one oath coming up
*monotone voice*
My only goal to live another day,.
No mater what is in my way
Let those who try to cloud my judgment with wrong or right
Be shown my logic with this grey light.
+jeweltara Perfect, just perfect.
glad i could help^_^
+jeweltara Wow dat was is amazing. This should be a thing
wow brightest day just did everyone dirty
Capt boomerang "throw boomerang"
Hank Hall "catch the boomerang"
ONE JOB BRO ONE JOB!
So it's was in New Mexico and no one was able to pick it up? So basically it's Thor's hammer
Mostafa Shahin Not only that, you must be PURE HEARTED... ripoff much? Don't mind the picture, i can downtalk my Corps.
Brightest Day was before Thor. If anything, they took inspiration from Brightest Day.
Erik Velasco I'm not surprised, Detective Comics Comics and MARVEL Comics are ALWAYS copying each other. (Though 9 times out of 10, the copies are superior)
Austin Kerner It isn't a copy just because the producers of Thor drew inspiration from two elements -.-
Erik Velasco I don't mean the character Thor, I mean the plot details.
Why is this story called "Brightest Day" when for alot of the main characters in it it was also their Darkest Day.
Aquaman lost his hand again and learned his wife had been lying to him for years
Firestorm lost one of his former halves and greatest friend
Martian Manhunter lost the chance to revive his planet and give it life again
And Hawkman and Hawkgirl lost the chance to be with each other after all they had to go through throughout their previous lives
You know what to hell with the life entity
Life is fair, because it's unfair to everyone
+Hermann Fegelein whatever
Drake Jones, or be fair to everyone to simply be fair to everyone.
wow, a story where the guy trying to destroy the universe wasn't the only asshole involved
we must all walk the path that we are given in life. through the day and the night we shall travel. between the light within the darkness and the darkness within the light and are given life to protect and nurture until the time when we ourselves reach the end of our path in death. thus we live on within the memories of those who must continue to walk the path they are given.
Remember, all these timeless dc superheroes had to give up their lives... so swamp thing could beat the shit out of himself
HAHAHAHA. A rather poignant deduction.
By your powers combined I am captain swamp thing!
Captain Swamp!
Comicstorian this is your magnus opus. You turned a rather confusing story into an epic tale that contained the elements of life and love in the center. Great storytelling, I appreciate your enthusiasm for these stories.
Magnum opus *
Magnus, magnum. Potato, Potahtoe
That is hands down one of the most depressing stories i've ever heard.
I jumped onto comics during Blackest Night and was curious how Brightest Day was going to turn out. Sadly, I have to say this event was a mess. Story was convoluted with the Entity jerking people around for some vague master plan. Disjoint missions that hardly tie in with this master plan. Ridiculous elemental conditions that come out of nowhere. Reviving only twelve characters was extremely limiting in scope compared to the thousands revived in Blackest Night. Pacing was sloppy with the first third all set up. Art was good though.
This event was more complicated than it needed to be. It could have been the Entity revives a bunch of people to live and value their lives, and doing so charges its battery. Those that do live life get permanently revived, those that don't go back to death. Each character lives out their own stories, some live it up, others squander it. And in the end, wrap it up with the Entity thanking them for charging its battery, add some lovey dovey thing about enjoying life, Entity exits stage left. Simple.
Underrated comment
I enjoyed it a lot and the story was easy to follow. I loved all the struggles the main characters had to face and it honestly contains my favourite Aquaman story ever. Hawkman and Hawkgirl’s stories were also highlights. Deadman had the most emotional moments in the story by a mile. Overall great stuff.
Brightest day? more like Long Ass Day.. specially for deadman, sheesh.
this actually made me cry
so now batman comes bac- W\wait how does batman's corpse get reanimated when he never died??
As someone who hasn't read any DCU since finishing Brightest Day, this served as an excellent refresher. I'm planning to catch up, starting with GL and this was perfect. Thank you so much, you deserve the sub!
That white ring was very confusing for life
>"And then the light speaks to captain boomerang..." Cut to him just randomly standing there. I have to imagine, with no previous context, CB was just bumming around, watching as all these weird power ring slingers faced about.
i love the music at 24:06.
The music with the piano was great and really like help give a feeling, and thank you for this cover.
what a mind blowing storyline.
indeed
Such dramatic story telling.
I read the Blackest Night and Brightest day, and they are probably my all time favorite story arcs in DC. You tell the story very well and I'm glad I checked out your channel.
What I can take back from this:
White Lantern/Ring is the messiah of ripe dickery.
Black Lanterns aren't so bad but not nice.
Deadman deserves all the love, hugs, happiness, and he's the definition of a fate worse than death.
I need tissues.
Hank you had on job!
I love how passionate you were telling the story. Thank you for the information you gave. I enjoyed it quite a bit.
You deserve waaaaay too more views!! And you'll have them!
I just hope you won't die any time soon so I can continue to enjoy your art work!
Damn this story was amazing. One of the main reason I love comics, and for the love of all humanity can the fanboys of DC and Marvel just die off. Instead of enjoying both of theses amazing universe. You guys are always making the hero fight each other. Why can't they team up and fight the villains. Like can we get a superhero movie where Marvel and DC team up to fight the villain of each other universe. Like the Avengers teaming up with the justice league to stop a threat that could destroy both universes
lol true true, but Marvel and DC is just rival competition. No ones want either to fail, because it motivates the writer to make better stories. Like Marvel comic was doing really good compared to DC, so the company thought about a strategy of how to compete and be ahead so rebirth was the answer. Rebirth killed it with sales because DC has been making really good stories and cares for its fans. While Marvel comic is doing shit because of civil war 2 but because of DC success marvel probably gonna try make a strategy, to stay ahead of the game. To me it seems like friendly competition like people in marvel want DC movies to successful while people in DC wants Marvel to be successful. By the way i'm a DC fan but to me it seems like friendly competition, some people get obsessed with but most don't.
he sounded so emotional when was talking about firestorm
This has got to be one of the best comic story lines I've ever seen and the way comicstorian told it was extremely well done
I twitched every time he called Alec Holland "Alex".
Ut00bsux0rz seriously, was really annoying to see ALEC and he says aleX like 7 times. Very irritating lol
I miss you so much comicstorian
In Birghtest Day In Blackest Night No Evil Shall Ecape My Sit Let Those Who Whroship Evils Might Bewar My Power GREEN LANTERS LIGHT!
Would help if you could sepl
Russool Mishir lol the irony
aditerra arisgraha I think that's the joke...
"LANTERS."
In fearful day, in raging night, With strong hearts full, our souls ignite. When all seems lost in the War of Light, Look to the stars, for hope burns bright!
Wow, this story is so convoluted.... I always enjoyed DC back when I read them (late 80's-early 90's) because the stories were enjoyable, easy to follow, and the characters were the center of the stories. Guess those days are long gone!
never really been interested in comics but this is pretty awesome been watching most of the stories you guys post and they are amazing keep up the amazing work!!
gonna subscribe now haha
Guys I seriously recommend you read this Comic online. This is mainly about Dead Man and recalling the events of Mera from the previous arc. But they don't show it on this video for some reason.
Could listen to you for hours man
Great video man! The script, the music, I was glued to the screen! Kudos sir.
We've secretly replaced Hank Hall with Hank Hill...let's see what happens.
22:00
THE EARTH NEEDS ITS ULTIMATE HERO??
IS HE BRINGING BACK CAPTAIN PLANET?!?!?!
Why did Deadman became an aimless spirit again dammit?! and why did hawk-girl stay as air?
+Kyle De'Larouche Well.... I think I know why the black lanterns wants to end life...
+egw esu Because with the pretext of poetic bullshit about the unfairness of life, the story wanted to create a specific status quo in the most dickish way possible, that disregards any characte development, that could have come out of it.
+egw esu Well both hawkgirl and hawkman refused to live apart. The White Lantern then said so be it. Therefore i feel that it was their punishment. She is part of the wind and he is alive. They can be together but never together like they truly want to be.
My... That is pretty depressing, Dead Man enjoyed life at least a bit, he felt love, happyness, he felt alive and in the end he lost his new life in the blink of an eye.
God speed you beautiful hero.
Ya guys at this channel are the awesomest comic fans I have ever read, ya' make this so fun to watch. Keep being awesome!
" He eats cheeseburgers every morning " couldn't help but burst out laughing at that part
Dude... wtf... Boston Brand get's so incredibly fucked at the end of this, that sucks.
that one was so saaaad. like i feel bad for Brand. And now..i suddenly have a new appreciation for life
That is just too cruel what the lantern did to deadman.
dayum so awesome... i love the background piano score.... such an emotional roller coaster i wanna run to the nearest comic bookstore and purchase the whole story arc now man
I love this story but it just seems like a giant middle finger at the end.
Rest in Peace 🕊️
this story was all over the place
I love this story line it is just absolutely beautiful and shows why comics are so amazing!
liked, subscribed, shared
thankyou so much for this, i just got back into comics about 6 months ago (mainly to help my kids understand and appreciate them) and had never heard of this story until i randomed across this vid. I can honestly say you are probably the main factor in renewing a childhood passion of mine that I never knew I missed so much. Thankyou
1:03 what is with things landing in New Mexico and not being able to be moved?
I've been waiting for this video forever, thank God you finished Benny, man, I'm so glad I subscribed.
LET OUR POWERS COMBINE GOOO PLANET!!!
I mean SWAMP THING!!!
You tell these stories in a way that makes me really want to read these LOL
duuude!! that was amazing! love your content!
I expected for this video to be about the lantern oaths how they say “in the brightest day”.
Deadman stays dead even after sacrificing all, and Hawkgirl stays as wind... Because f**k those guys, that's why.
I have never felt more conflicted about anything. This was just.. Wow.
The White Ring is confusing and a huge dick. I liked the long video, thanks man.
I like your enthusiasm
Great job with the suspenseful telling
so wait, the plan was, to stop an evil zombie Swamp Thing, the White Lantern Power Core created 4 elemental spirits and had camptain boomerang take someone's life to act as a catilist? Didn't Swamp thing get created when a lightning bolt truck him, and his soul got bonded to the swamp? Why not create a single lightning spirit instead of four elemental spirits? Heck, you could write a story about Dr. Polarity's good side, the soul that Dr. Polarity sold to Etrigan taking back his body thanks to the Light Power and turning into a spirit of Electricity and Magnetism to become the Lightning Bolt that creates Swamp Thing? Heck, during the Brightest Day plot, Etrigan got separated from his human prison, you could have a duality thing with Etrigan and Polarity and everything
He did it for lolz
Sebastian Ferguson Whitey works in a mysterious way.
But.. the Captain planet references!
No, Swamp Thing was never really Alec Holland before this. Alec had a lab in the swamp with his wife and they were murdered. He was caught in an explosion that doused him with the plant growth formula he was working on, and ran (on fire) to the swamp in an attempt to douse the flames. He made it, but was too late and died. The super accelerated plant life consumed his body and in so doing consumed his memories, not his soul. He was well and truly dead, what was left behind was a plant that thought it was a man.
Swamp Thing's comic actually dealt with the elementals in the past, and this was a nod to that history. In the context of that backstory (which uses the four elements the ancients believed composed everything) there is no elemental representing electricity. That would merely be a blending of air and fire.
"Captain boomerang threw the boomerang" Greatest purpose ever
Why can't they just let Carter and Shiera be happy for a while? :'(
Cause life isn't as easy as we'd like
They will, one day. Then it will all be yanked away like a giant sucker from a child!
Why can't they bring Shiera back!?! And it better not be some bull that they could only bring back a limited number of them!
Nothing is ever clear when it comes to gods as black is not evil and Light is not good too much of one or the other and it is a bad thing. The entities are pure manifestations of their emotion or element which means you can't really trust them as they are not necessarily good even the Light entity has a darker side seen in this video.

Fuck,I didn't know Comics can be so bittersweet.

Awesome works guys! Loved it :) I especially love hearing the stories of which I've never actually been aware of. Keep up the great work!
what's the name of the song at 24:04
Thank you for this. It cleared up alot of questions I had. I'm all for more half hour videos.
Life is cruel
