As Brightest Day is scheduled to conclude in 3 issues, there is no doubt in my mind that there will be more events that will shake up the DC universe. Brightest Day has been ok, so far. Personally, I feel that the series lost some momentum halfway through. After issue 18, the plot began to gain some momentum again. Issue 18 concluded with what appeared to be the death of both Hawkmen and Hawkgirl. Plus, the aftermath of Aquawar resulted in the death Aquaman at the end issue 20. Each death resulted in the character being zapped by light from the white ring and after the event, all that remained was dust. As we know these characters were resurrected during Blackest Night and I'm positive that they wouldn't be killed off so soon. So I have no doubt that we will see these characters again in some form during the final three issues, as I have come to learn from reading comics, if there is no body then don't assume they are dead.
DC announced that after Brightest Day a new guardian of Earth will be chosen. Another hero will return to warn Superman and Batman their choice is not a wise one. There is not much information about the nature of the return, whether it is a return from exile, death, or a different dimension. Though I hope DC does not plan to resurrect someone from the dead as this has become quite stale over the last couple of years.
Brightest Day Aftermath: The Search is set to be released in June this year. It will be a three part mini series written by Jonathan Vankin and illustrated by Marco Castiello. Meanwhile, get ready for the double sized final issue of Brightest Day hitting comic book shops on April 20th.
