Publication history
The series, which will reportedly be written by Geoff Johns and Peter Tomasi, is scheduled to be published bi-weekly for 26 issues alternating with Justice League: Generation Lost written by Keith Giffen and Judd Winick. Johns has discussed the general theme:
“ Brightest Day is about second chances. I think it’s been obvious from day one that there are major plans for the heroes and villains from Aquaman to take center stage in the DC Universe, among many others, post-Blackest Night. 'Brightest Day' is not a banner or a vague catch-all direction for the DC Universe, it is a story. Nor is 'Brightest Day' a sign that the DC Universe is going to be all about 'light and brighty' superheroes. Some second chances work out…some don’t. ”
Brightest Day will also reportedly be crossing over into the Green Lantern series, the Green Lantern Corps, Justice League of America, The Titans and the Flash. It was later announced that Gail Simone would return to the Birds of Prey comic book, which will also be under the same banner.
It has also been announced that the Green Lantern series will feature more of the characters Atrocitus, Larfleeze, Saint Walker, and Indigo-1 in a story arc entitled "New Guardians." At Emerald city Comic-con 2010, Johns also stated that Firestorm would be a "main character" in Brightest Day.
The first issue, issue #0, is slated to be penciled by Fernando Pasarin. Artist David Finch will reportedly illustrate the covers for the series.
