"Blackest Night" is a 2009–10 American comic book crossover storyline published by DC Comics, consisting of an eponymous central miniseries, written by Geoff Johns and penciled by Ivan Reis, along with a number of tie-in issues of various DC monthly books, including Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps. "Blackest Night" involves Nekron, a personified force of death who reanimates deceased superheroes and seeks to eliminate all life and emotion from the universe. Johns identified the series' central theme as emotion. Other tie-ins released included an audio drama from Darker Projects.
