BACKGROUND from the comic books:

Boodikka comes from a warrior race, and was a member of a highly sought-after mercenary team known as the Bellatrix Bombers until she was chosen to join the Green Lantern Corps. Her lust for battle and anti-authoritarian streak overwhelmed her need for discipline several times during her training, and she fell into frequent disputes with her instructor, Kilowog. However, she emerged a capable wielder of the power ring, and one of the Corps' fiercest members.

Boodikka is a charter member of the Alpha Lanterns, a team working within the Corps to police its members. On accepting the post, Boodikka's physiology was altered, making her, essentially, a cyborg. As an Alpha Lantern, she possesses a direct connection to the Book of Oa's Laws and the Central Power Battery.

Boodikka is a humanoid female with an extremely athletic physique. She has pink skin, and her hair is styled in such a way as to give the appearance of wings.

ATTRIBUTES:

* Green Lantern ring allows for a protective shield, flight, and energy constructs.

* Total mastery of hand-to-hand combat and many weapons.

* Cyborg enhancements to physiology, augmenting speed and strength.

DCU IN 2011: THE LORD OF DARKNESS IN STARK BLACK AND WHITE

"The Rise of Eclipso" begins in JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA issue 54 and, so far, we've kept the lid tight on the details of James Robinson's epic storyline.

But we can confirm, this one's got it all:

* Shade.

* Doomsday.

* Blue Lantern Saint Walker joins the League to ensure that all will be well.

* Alpha Lantern Boodikka and Supergirl on the trail of the Cyborg Superman.

* The return of one of the DCU's classic villains, Eclipso.

Eclipso's dark, dual nature is all about the tension between light and dark so it's only appropriate to show off some art by Brett Booth and Norm Rapmund in glorious black and white.
