''Brightest Day'' is a [[DC Comics]] event, beginning in April 2010 and lasting until 2011. Following the events of the [[Crisis Crossover]] ''[[Blackest Night]]'', ''Brightest Day'' depicts the repercussions of the Black Lantern attack in the [[DC Universe]], which has led to the resurrections of many previously killed off characters (collectively known as "The Twelve") and the dawning of a new age, referred to by many as "The Brightest Day" (in reference to the [[Green Lantern]] Corps oath).
 
Unlike ''[[Fifty Two52]]'', ''[[Countdown to Final Crisis]]'', or ''Trinity'' (all of which were big event storylines taking place between [[Crisis Crossover|Crisis Crossovers]] that were published weekly), ''Brightest Day'' is divided up amongst many titles. Many, many titles. The core book itself is a 25 issue bi-weekly mini-series, as is the companion series ''Justice League: Generation Lost'' (with the 25th issues of both being extra-sized finales). Other titles also play a major role in the series, most notably the ''[[Green Lantern]]'' family of books. Also, several new books have been launched from the event, including a new ''Green Lantern'' title (''Green Lantern: Emerald Warriors''), relaunches for ''[[Green Arrow]]'' and ''[[Birds of Prey]]'', and the return of Barry Allen to ''[[The Flash]]'' after over twenty years.
 
Like with ''[[Fifty Two52]]'' and other event storylines, there are multiple plot threads, in this case all sharing the theme of having a fresh start and a new lease on life. Most focus on the Twelve and missions given to them by the White Entity:
* Six of the Twelve are featured in the main series:
** [[Aquaman]] is reunited with his wife, struggling with his new power to control dead ocean life even as Mera's people hunt the two down to kill them. He has been tasked with finding Black Manta's son before others do in order to {{spoiler|reseal the Bermuda Triangle to prevent rebel Atlanteans from laying siege to the surface world}}.
