Book of the Week

4-1-10

Blackest Night concluded yesterday with issue 8, and I can't believe that its only been thirteen months since the story began. Geoff Johns packed this thrill ride with non-stop dialogue. To me it didn't come any bigger than the reveal half way through the series that the whole thing was masterminded by Nekkron, a villain that no one suspected or even heard of. Villains and heroes team up! I've never seen that EVER! I did find it a little strange that they need a White Lantern to keep those uppity Black Lanterns in check. And although I'm sad to see Blackest Night go, I'm looking forward to the 26 issue (plus xover issues) Brightest Day. Huzzah and kudos to DC!
