JSA VS KOBRA #3 (OF 6) - The JSA follow the trail of Kobra into Opal City. And we all know who lives in Opal.
ADVENTURE COMICS #1 - Blackest Night - Superboy clone and the Legion of Super-Heroes will share this new ongoing book. Featuring Lex Luthor.
BATMAN #689 - While Batman moves against the Arkham escapees, the Penguin makes a deal to solidify himself as kingpin of Gotham. And Two Face is dangerously close to the truth about this new Batman.
BLACKEST NIGHT #2 (OF 8) - Can Hal Jordan find a way to combat these powerful new, yet familiar, foes? Or will more heroes fall (only to rise again)? E-2 Supes to attack Smallville coming up soon.
BATMAN - Blackest Night #1 (OF 3) - The Black Lantern rings can seek out and animate anyone no matter how long ago they died. Even Deadman may not be enough to help as the new Batman is hit as close to home as it gets. It's the return of the Flying Graysons.
GREEN LANTERN CORPS #39 - Blackest Night - Things go from bad to terrible as the Black Lantern rings penetrate the crypts of Oa and reanimate all of the deceased Lanterns therein.

Spoiler (Click in box to read)
Reggie gets a yellow ring, Moose gets a red ring, Veronica gets an orange ring, Betty gets a sapphire ring, Cheryl Blossom is in the Indigo tribe, Archie gets a blue ring and Jughead gets a Green Ring. Mr Lodge and Mr Weatherbee, as well as Miss Grundy are all Black Lantern Corps members.
JSA comic -- I'm ignorant, who lives in Opal City?
Opal City use to be the home of He-Man after he was banished from Eternia for touching Urko in an inappropriate way.
Actually, Starman resides there. Almost every Starman ever has lived there at one time or another. And in one case, two times or another (time travel was involved).
Darkest Night 2 (in brief):
Ray Palmer call the Hawks back. Black Lantern Hawkman invites him over the talk.
Black Lantern Aquaman shows up and kills a buncha ocean friends. Garth dies. Mera escapes.
Hawk comes back to life. Dove does not, as his soul is "at rest".
Flash and Green Lantern kick the snot out of Martian Manhunter. His flesh regenerates and he shows up with a Black Lantern Justice League that includes Ralph, Sue, Firestorm and the Hawks.
That's is for now. I skimmed it over lunch and plan to read it slowly again later.
Also read Blackest Night Batman.
Deadman takes center stage in this one. All the returning dead are freaking him out. He can't take over his own Black Lantern body.
A buncha Batman rogues come back to life including Magpie and the Ventriloquist. Dick and Tim's folks come back to life.
The end.

I heard it's awesome. What did you have for lunch? Tuna?
