Brightest Day Volume 3 is the final book in the Brightest Day story line. We already know that at the end of the Blackest Night, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, Firestorm, Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Deadman (Boston Brand), Jade, Osiris, Hawk, Captain Boomerang, and Zoom are now alive once again. In this book we finally find out why they have been brought back and how they are all bound together for a greater purpose. One very interesting concept that is brought up in this book is the challenge to common belief that life is good and death is bad. Though it is never assumed that life is bad, it does bring up the question this since most people think that death is bad, then that must mean life is good. The situation that this challenge is brought up in actually works and actually made me stop and think about it. Now that the story is over, I think it was just OK. Its ending was kind of ho hum. The biggest thing I got out of the story was that I was introduced to several new characters that I had previously never known. Some I liked, others not so much. I found that I liked Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, Hawkman and Hawkgirl. I didn't really care for Firestorm, Deadman, Hawk or any of the others. All in all the story was ok. If you have already read the first two, or you really loved the Blackest Night and want to learn more about the white lantern, then go ahead and pickup the trade paper back its only like $10 on amazon. Otherwise you're not really missing much. With the NEW 52 being released late last year, a lot of this story is kind of pointless in the greater DC universe. I'm hoping to get some of the NEW 52 stories for my birthday and Christmas this year.
