The Blackest Night - Talkback

Seems to me if they'd gone backwards, they would've brought back everyone who'd become a Black Lantern instead of a select few. And we still don't know why the White Light chose them.

[HIDE]Still, it was a stroke of genius bringing Shiera back instead of Kendra.[/HIDE]

[HIDE]You kill and character assassinate Boomerang Jr. to bring back Boomerang. Tempest and his family, to pave the return of Aquaman. Female Hawk, killed to pave the return of the classic Hank Hall (who became Extant btw...who killed Dove). The more interesting Kendra and the spacecop Sheyera Thal, both killed and replaced with classic-style Sheira. Zoom was already brought back, with the previous death of Inertia and the loss of Zoom's powers, directly prior to his return. Gehenna killed to bring Ronnie Raymond back, with the possibly of Jason Rusch exiting the scene completely. (as it was classic Ronnie Firestorm, not Jason's updated look.) [/HIDE]

This is just a continuation in the DC Universe moving backwards when it comes to characters instead of forwards. Tis a shame.

Brightest Day may be very well and good (perhaps Firestorm will mirror his Brave and The Bold incarnation) I'm mildly disappointed. You can bring back older characters without killing or ruining their newer counterparts.

So again, liked the crossover, but I dislike the direction of the overall line. On the bright side, once they kill Wally's kids, they're out of Titan's children. The one-two punch of Tempest's son and Lian (Arsenal's daughter) puts a nail in that.

Yeah, I was starting to like Holly Granger as Hawk, and Owen Mercer (Capt. Boomerang II). But I heard that they might bring Owen back wearing a WL ring. I also feel bad for Jason having to see his girlfriend being killed by his predecessor who was corrupted by this raw black power:disappoin. But I was surprised that Deadman is resurrected to his old self again, but with the loss of his supernatural power. You forgot to mention the lovely, Jade, and J'onn J'onz (Martian Manhunter) being brought back without having to sacrifice a live character namely Kyle's new girlfriend and M'gann Morzz.

Oh well, can't wait for the graphic novel to come out.

Reply on the Graphic Novel.

I know that I was psyched about the novel coming out in two weeks, but I just haven't been lucky at the last comic convention that I been to. I saw two vendors who had the entire series from issue 1-8 for a total of $20.00 and another vendor who had two copies of BN: Issue #0 that were signed by five different writers and artists for the whole BN story and they were rare, variant copies-limited edition.

Now does that suck or what?!

Now I have to wait to get either the hardcover or the softcover graphic novel.:disappoin

I'd go for the Hardcover for this series. I don't know if I want to shell out all of this money for the others but I will definitely go for the main series though.

Be my guess. Of course if it was me. I'd wait for the softcovers.

Got the hardcover for the main series, just finished it up. Overall, pretty awesome if you ask me! Good to see Martian Hunter back and Aqua man as many others. It was a real good series, and gonna go to my comic store buddy and pick up some brightest day issues.

I here you. I wish that they had combined the main BL core issues with BL: Green Lantern like what they did with the Sinestro Corps War.

You know what I mean, dividing the whole thing into two volumes.

yeah that would have been a pretty neat idea, but oh well. DC will just burn more holes out of my pocket.......
