DC Comics has provided Newsarama with a two page peek inside May’s Blackest Night #0, which the publisher is releasing for Free Comic Book Day on May 2nd. The issue is written by Geoff Johns, with art on the main story by Ivan Reis, and serves as a lead-in to DC’s Blackest Night miniseries, which begins in July.

The solicitation for the 32-page comic reads:

Across the universe the dead will rise! Prepare for the coming of “The Blackest Night” with this prelude to the biggest comic event of the year! This special edition recaps the key moments from “Sinestro Corps War” and “Rage of the Red Lanterns” that led to “Blackest Night,” and will give readers everything they need to know about the Green Lantern universe, their ongoing War of Light, and their dark days ahead. There are also two more pagers up Comic Book News.
