I'm gonna get crucified here for posting my opinion, but oh well, here I go.
While this is better than the past two events from Marvel (not including War of Kings here, but Secret Invasion and Dark Reign), I feel it suffers from some bad points.
First off, the whole people who the kill will become Black Lanterns thing. Really? Zombies? That's the Black Lanterns big twist? Zombies? Right when two people were about to confess their love to each other? And two interesting characters at that, all of a sudden we are stuck in a horror movie here. A 'B Grade' predictable one at that. I felt deaths at the beginning here are stupid, and set a tone where people are going to die in every issue, and somehow, there is going to be a dues ex machina (i.e. the White Lantern I bet) will come around and heal all these people. I hope I am wrong about that though.
Also, to me anyways, kinda surprised Joe Kalicki didn't feel it, but the whole Ralph and Sue thing didn't click with me at all. She was a nobody, why does she get ressurrected? Other than to have more people thrown into the plot and to make a scene more powerful emotionally than what it was.
The Guardian thing was pretty good, but what has been irking me for the past few issues was how the Guardians were so ****ing stupid in the first place. One of them was completely different, but hey, let's ignore that and be ineffectual in trying to suppress these other colors. Kinda walked into the prophecy there, but I can at least deal with that, it was needed for the story. But still, the Black Guardian should have hid in the bowels of the Oa or something. Not be obvious.
The Batman thing is simply a tease.
Well, have fun killing me, I'm sure you guys will.
