I enjoyed this a lot, this brings the Hal/Parallax story to an emotional conclusion. Something known as the sun eater takes away earth’s sun leaving the planet to freeze over. This is an interesting story because the conflict isn’t solved by the heroes punching a villain rather they have to try their best against an unbeatable foe. It’s nice seeing all the heroes work together helping people.

Surprisingly, I really enjoyed this one for a random pickup from the library. Honestly, it feels like a unique story in many ways considering all of the corny and purely random stuff DC put out in the 1990s. While the art is nothing special (and at times laughable), there is a lot to love for me. Sometimes I do just need some of that random and corny, a enjoyable blend of a special event with high stakes and the strangeness of 90s comic lore. The key to creating an event of this magnitude for DC...

A very interesting and unique concept, awfully executed with poor art.At least, it gave us some very good tie-ins.

I bought this book because of a footnote in Superman Transformed. The 97-98 story run where Superman becomes and energy being.Well final night has little to do with Superman, other then setup that the sign is dying and Supes is powerless to stop it.This is really a Green Lantern and Parallax story. And it's a good one!!!Art is its weak point but I just love this book because it leads into Superman Transformed and that is one of my favourite runs ever.

I have to say that I liked this story more than I though I would especially the last 3 issues. The big three heroes. However it did give one of my other DC heroes a chance to shine (pun intended).I am not a great fan of the artwork, but that is how it was at the time. That story is great the Suneater a force of nature has come for the Earth's Sun. The greatest heroes are powerless to stop it. Now heroes and villains must unite, even this is not enough. Now a desperate call goes to a to an infamo...

This is a very boring story. The sun goes out and we follow a bunch of heroes around as they help people. Reading Rebirth era DC comics now, it's pretty amazing to see how bloated their cast was in the nineties. Also, Superman has the worst hair ever. I also thought it was funny how Kyle Rayner kept disappearing/possibly dying and no one gave a shit.The only worthwhile moments in this whole book were the ones with Hal Jordan.

Despite many references to this book in other comics - not least of which is the essential Green Arrow: Quiver - I'd never actually read this before. While it's not essential, it's a solid part of the bridge between Zero Hour and Hal Jordan's eventual return in Rebirth. The basic premise is simplicity itself: the Sun Eater has, well, lived up to nominative determinism and the world is thrown into cold and darkness. Like many of the crossover events at the time, it's a mini-series that serves as

This is an interesting story of man vs nature. The nature being an unknown entity/force that goes around eating suns. It’s come to earth and the heroes attempt several plans to stop it and in the end Hal Jordan has to come to the rescue. This was another crossover story back in the day. For some reason DC didn’t collect all the stories together to make a cohesive story. Instead they just collected the main story so you can tell while reading that you’re missing a lot. If you’re really interested...

Definitely not the best I've read so far.. Missed a bit of the magic here I guess... But I liked the way things were developing and how it all turned out.. Pretty eager to go start on the next chapter ;)

Not the best event series...it's good to read if you want to know what happened with parallax and how hal redeemed himself. The art looks atrocious at times. 2.5/5

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...

Reprints The Final Night #1-4 (November 1996). An alien named Dusk arrives on Earth with a warning: the Sun-Eater is coming! Dusk tells the heroes of Earth that the Sun-Eater cannot be stopped and that the Earth is doomed. A last ditch effort to stop the Sun-Eater and save the sun is underway, and heroes like the Legion of Super-Heroes, Batman, and Superman find themselves working hand-in-hand with Lex Luthor to try to save humanity. Heroes like Ferro arise but to save the Earth a true hero migh...

A little patchy at times, but overall a really interesting read!

This was one of those major events which ran rampant throughout DC and Marvel. Every year it seemed some new event swept across all the various series, meaning that at least one - if not two - issues of your favorite comic was interrupted by some overarching plot which you may or (more likely) may not care about. The collection of The Final Night series contains only the original series without the cross-over issues. As such the focus from issue to issue is a little haphazard, shifting this way

Honestly just average. Art is meh, writing for the first half is just stagnant. Once you get to Ron Marz (who is one of my all time favorite writers) section at the end though it gets good. Kinda redeems the whole book with that last section. Required reading only if you care about completing the Hal Jordan and Kyle Rayner stories.

A sun eater comes to destroy our sun and the earth goes into 24 hours of night condition. Hal Jordan comes to save the day as Parallax and in doing so dies.

Reread after twenty years; pretty good for an event miniseries, thanks to writing by Kesel and fine drawing by Immonen.

This was an interesting event from the 90's in that there were no villains. The sun goes dark and Earth's heroes have to figure out how to save everyone while stopping people from looting and other end of the world type behavior. I do think that some of the more interesting stories from this event happened outside of this trade in the individual titles of the time. It was great that a certain character gets a moment of redemption.

A seminal work of superhero storytelling.The ‘90s were an interesting time for the medium. At times it felt like all flash no substance, and at others there was real effort to build on the late-80s milestones like Dark Knight Returns and Watchmen. For DC that meant leaning ever more heavily into lineage, commonly thought in terms of James Robinson’s Starman, Mark Waid’s Flash, his Kingdom Come. There was also Ron Marz’s Green Lantern, the result of another trend from the decade, a tumultuous per...

My husband wanted me to read this one I didn't think I would like it, because I'm more of an anti-hero, or interested in the villains. As usual he was right. This story was so good. I never thought I'd like any Green Latern now I want to read all of Hal Jordan's Green Latern.
