The Final Night

Those word will forever inspire all who reads this to give it all they got with no fear of personal consequences. A being so powerful to block out the sun and starts to consumes it. None of earth (on eath, off, and even from different time)greatest superheroes could stop it. (Yes even Superman failed) Every means to stop or devert it falls to failure. And in the end, a once hero, now labeled by his peers, a supervillan is called by his succesor: Green Lantern (Kyle Rayner)to help.This so-called supervillan is Hal Jordan going by the name of Parallax. Bacially blacked balled by the world for the "Zero Hour" incident, he is face with the decision that would decide the future of not only earth but the entire galaxy if the Sun-Eater prevails. The story give you early hints his fate but it still hold you to every word. At the end he proves that he's still a hero, still the greatest Green Lantern as he recites that famous oath;In Brightest Day, In Blackest Night..No evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil's might. Beware my power.... Green Lantern Light!!!!!

Final Night starts off with a menace known as the sun eater that has struck the earths golden sun. As the justice league along with a vast aray of other heros and villians try to conquer it the Sun Eater continues it's destructive purpose. About half way through it is revealed that the sun will go Nova in 24 hours and envelope the entire solar System. It is at this point that Kyle Rayner (Green Lantern) seeks out Parallax aka Hal Jordon.Parallax is the former GL Hal Jordon. After the events of the Coast City (Return of Superman) Hal Jordon went to the guardians for help. THey said no and he rebelled resulting in the end of the GL's short of the final one, Kyle Rayner. The result of Jordons victory resulted in him becoming Parallax, a human with the powers of the gods. After unsuccessfully trying to regain the GL ring, he disappeared from the light, until this.Kyle seeks out Jordon for help to defeat the sun eater. After some soul searching he agrees to do so and in the end it is definite closer to his open ended story.Overall this story is good however it is more for those who grew up reading GL and were Hal Jordon fans.

To disclose my bias, I love crossovers. I think Final Night is worth a look even for those who don't. The story was one of the best post-Zero Hour events involving a great sneak-up-on-you surprise (Ferro).We all know who the Sun-eater was, right? A 30th Century menace it took Ferro Lad's sacrifice to destroy. In the post-Zero world, the Sun-eater shows up in the 20th, and there's no superbomb to blow it away.Ferro, a 20th century character, makes a genuinely dramatic entrance into the story. Everyone must know by now that it's Hal Jordan/Parallax, and not "Ferro Lad," who takes the bullet. That occurs in simultaneously dramatic and sentimental style. Surprisingly, even Jordan's subsequent re-emergence as the Spectre does not diminsh the meaningful conclusion of the Final Night story.You have to have this one if you're a DC or Hal Jordan fan.
