When BLACKEST NIGHT falls, skeletons start coming out of the closets and no one has more skeletons in his closet than Niles Caulder, founder of the Doom Patrol. Caulder has been playing god for years, and the time for a reckoning has come. The Doom Patrol thought they knew darkness. Find out how wrong they were in this BLACKEST NIGHT tie-in issue!

I never thought a "Blackest Night" tie-in could end being fun, but Giffen's script for the main feature of "Doom Patrol" just proved that it's possible.
