8. Day of Judgment

Hey, this one was written by Geoff Johns! It's pretty good!

In the story, The Spectre gets bonded to Asmodel, which results in Hell freezing over and a buncha demons being released. In the crossover tie-ins, various DC characters have to deal with magic, ghostly, or demonic foes.

Anarky meets the Haunted Tank; Green Lantern fights the Enchantress; and Superboy and Etrigan fight a magical gauntlet-possessed Guardian. Sidenote: In that Superboy issue, Superboy meets Etrigan, and immediately assumes that his rhyming is actually rapping, and I LOVE that.

Eventually, the dead Hal Jordan convinces the Spectre to let him be his new host, and this solves the problem. Also, Neron possesses Superman for a bit there. Worth talking about, but not a super big deal.

Lasting Impact: The Hal Jordan-is-the-Spectre thing has stuck out for a couple of years, mostly in the Green Lantern and JSA books. The idea that The Spectre needs a host also comes from this, and would come back when Gotham Central's Crispus Allen took on the role. Also, Day of Judgment got a pseudo sequel called Day of Vengeance during the Countdown to Infinite Crisis.
