Here some brand new and not so brand new images and previews relating to DC's upcoming Blackest Night storyline.

Above is a pencil preview of the first cover to the Blackest Night story arc that DC just released today. Below, I believe, are a few slightly older preview images, but still pretty cool nonetheless.


Here are couple of toys that tie into the series. I hadn't seen the Martian Manhunter before and he looks pretty scary.


DC Direct lists the toys as follows: Included in Series 2 are Martian Manhunter, the second named member of the lifeless, emotionless Black Lanterns to be revealed; John Stewart, the Green Lantern charged with the task of protecting Earth; Kryb, the sinister, infant-stealing Sinestro Corp member; and the nameless, mysterious Indigo, who personifies compassion.
Not sure the importance of these characters to the series or what exactly they'll do, but it certainly gives an early insight. I can't wait for this series to start and if Rebirth and Sinestro Corps War were any indication then this will be a classic Green Lantern story.
