Though the Green Lanterns and their allies prevailed , questions about the state of life and death in the DC Universe continued after the frustration of Nekron . Lex Luthor gravel the chance to get some answers from the ultimate shape of death inactiveness Comics # 894by Paul Cornell and Pete Woods . Superman ’s curse has justbeen sprout by Gorilla Grodd , and Luthor discover himself talk to Death of the Endless .

While Death mentions she noticed theBlackest Nightgoing on , she describes it as " not a prominent pot " since people come back from the dead all the time .
While comic book end might have been the central theme ofGreen Lantern’sBlackest Nightevent , Lex seems to misunderstand how the Endless ' Death factor out into it . Nekron is indeed a Lord of the Unliving , but Death isthepersonification of the concept in the DC Universe .

So if Death has the terminal say in the DCU , was the Blackest Night partly her doing ? The smart stakes is no , as Death herself says , she ’s too busy shepherd all living things towards their terminal destinations . WhileThe Sandman’sDeathgenerally acknowledge what ’s happening in the DCU , she never takes an active role in directing its events . So , while she was aware the dead were coming back to life , Death did n’t perspire it because she recognize all thing are going to arrive back to her one agency or another .
The Endless have been around for eon and have witnessed to some fairly odd thing , so while a superhero zombie encroachment was a major moment forGreen Lantern , it was just another offbeat occurrence forThe Sandman’sDeath .
