Black Lanterns - The List

We wrapped up our Blackest Night primer earlier today with the entry on the Black Lantern Corps. We decided that the primer should only focus on character profiles for those Black Lanterns that were important to the story up to that point, which left out a lot of characters, such as the 50 or more in the banner image for this post, as well as the dozens of Black Lanterns confirmed in solicits for the various tie-ins.

As such, I decided to put together a list of all known Black Lanterns, basic information, such as when they died, and organized them into sections based on what miniseries or character they are typically associated with. This is a rough draft and I'll be updating it with more information and confirmed Black Lanterns as I find it. Feel free to correct any mistakes or let me know about anything I'm missing.

Fallen Green Lanterns

Of note, there are still many fallen Green Lanterns in the image above that I could not identify. I mainly used the Green Lantern/Sinestro Corps Secret Files and Origins #1, Wikipedia and DC's Blackest Night minisite as aids for figuring out most of these. If you can identify any that are currently not numbered, let me know and I can update the image.

Also, while I had been working on this annotated list of fallen Green Lanterns from the moment I finished reading Blackest Night #1, I would like to give credit to the posters from Comic Bloc forums, particularly Tenzel Kim, who had been working on his own annotated version of this image. They helped me identify about six of the background Black Lanterns in the image above.

This image is taken from Green Lantern/Sinestro Corps Secret Files and Origins #1 one-shot that came out shortly after the conclusion of the Sinestro Corps War. With the exception of Abin Sur, every one of these Green Lanterns is kept in the Crypt of the Green Lantern Corps. Abin Sur was buried on his homeworld, Ungara.
