Shining Some Light on Blackest Night : Intro

Yup, I signed on for the whole Blackest Night event. Every issue, and every tie-in will be in my hands and I can’t wait for it to begin. Each week I’ll be breaking down what happened and reviewing the issues in this special Blackest Night section of the blog. Click below to continue :

For those that don’t know, the prophesized Blackest night is descending on the DC Universe and no one is safe. The Black Lanterns will be here soon, powered by death and raising the deceased heroes and villains of the DC Universe in order to achieve their goals.

So far, the solicited books through September are as follows :

9/23/09 – Blackest Night : Superman #2 (of 3)

9/30/09 – Blackest Night : Titans #2 (of 3), Green Lantern #46

Damn, that is a lot of books :-) I also heard that there will be a Blackest Night : JSA mini added at some point as well. With the main book written by Geoff Johns and art duties being handled by the always incredible Ivan Reis, this should prove to be a fairly incredible series. Hopefully it doesn’t collapse under it’s own hype like Final Crisis, because I’ve been looking forward to this book since the conclusion of the Sinestro Corps War, which was (I think) about 2 years ago.

Check back next week for Shining Some Light on Blackest night - Week 0, and I'll talk about who will be a Black Lantern, who might be a Black Lantern, and what happened in the Free Comic Book Day issue : Blackest Night #0

Why stop at just all the tie-in issues? Maybe you should buy two of everything just to make sure it's all covered.

LOL, it's nice to see your un-biased opinion "Definitely Not Kerry", if that is in fact your real name.
