Walkin' talkin' dead, tho' we think we're livin'/We just copy-cat, followin' the system

At the Baltimore Retailer Summit Monday night, DC Comics announced as expected that “Blackest Night” and all its tie-in titles would take a month-long hiatus in January. But keeping with its "Back from the Dead" theme, one-shots will ship in the first month of 2010, delivering new "final" issues of previously-canceled fan favorite series.

Each series will pick up on its original numbering and feature characters from their original runs as they deal with the events currently unfolding in the DC Universe.—CBR News, 10/12/09
