The accepted nomenclature is “African-American lanterns”

Is this DC’s response to the Marvel Zombies?

Not really.
Let it be known first that I am not the best source for this.
The Green Lantern comics have been leading up to this for some time, I believe at least 2004. Marvel Zombies didn’t start until 2005, and was not immediately part of the wider Marvel Multiverse.
I would also like to say this is superior to Marvel Zombies. I started reading Blackest Night because zombies are awesome, but then found I was actually interested in reading the GL stuff that led to it. Reading Marvel Zombies, I honestly could not have given a damn about the rest of the MMV. Maybe the tie-ins, but that’s pretty much it.
Now that I’ve started reading more Green Lantern, I’m also interested in some other stuff, such as Green Arrow. Marvel Zombies and Blackest Night are the first times I’ve ever really bought any number of books from Marvel or DC.

I have a black lantern corps ring I got from the DC table at fan expo. The sampler I got with it makes me very much want to read this and the stuff leading up to it like RSIxidor said, and I am a diehard Marvel fan.

I got that ring at my LCS. They had a ton of them. I should have asked for more. Now I want the super quality replica rings that some company started making.
Dude, read it. Its very good. The paperbacks are only $15. I don’t know if you have a regular comic shop, but mine gives discounts as long as your a ‘checklist’ member. They send me a checklist each week of what I want, and they hold it for me. Sometimes for months when I’m poor because I pay bills instead of buying comics and toys.
