Say hello to the avatar of the Black Lantern Corps. Black Hand personifies death and after his suicide is returned to life as the first of the Black Lanterns.

Here is another “classic” review from the days of yore! Enjoy! “Like his people, the king of dead men beyond Dunharrow is a cursed soul. In ages past, he and his army had renounced their pledge of allegiance to the King of Gondor and fled to their mountain homes. Since that time, they lay bound by a curse to the [...]
