The Final Night
by Karl Kesel
A interesting 4 part event in the mid-90's that you can tell was mostly made to redeem a certain hero gone villain but still a fun little story none the less.
A alien name Dusk lands on earth to warn everything of the dark times to come. Soon the sun is blocked out and everyone is slowly going crazy and everything will eventually freeze over and die. Putting main heroes like Superman even at risk without the sun you come up with some neat ideas. One having Lex work with the heroes is always cool, Superman being a badass hero even without powers, and all the new legacy characters at the time like Kyle, Wally, and more working with the OG heroes to save everyone.
Overall this was pretty enjoyable. The dark art by Inman made for some really cool moody atmosphere. I enjoyed the side two issues too which mostly focused on Hal's redemption and then funeral (This is 20+ years old people so don't tell me spoilers!) and you have a lot of neat moments with heroes saying goodbye, even when still pissed at what the once hero did. But the way he went out is admirable. I also enjoyed everyone working together and eventually showing the better side of humanity.
I won't say it was mind-blowing but it was a solid event you can read completely by itself. A 3.5 out of 5, I'll bump it to a 4.
