Blackest Night discussion (Spoilers!)

[Victor Von Doom]

I love how the Star Sapphires' power is basically the Care Bear Stare.

That and the Black Lantern are my favorite.

So is it just me or is Red Lantern Guy Gardner more badass than expected?

And Mogo continues to rock.

 

[ProjectX2]

Mogo's purge was epic.

Yes he is.

And I'm loving it.

BL Flash wasn't bad, a little confusing.

I like how Captain Cold shows no emotions.

 

[Iceshadow]

Go Mogo!

 

[Ultimate Houde]

BL Starman was awesome.

Shade's 'death' and 'return' line was awesome.

BL David was great.

Shade's real name was hilarious.

My only complaint was the art.

Yeah this was good. I also liked the Phantom Stranger and Atom & Hawkman issues.

The GL #50 was great also. Loved seeing orange lantern Luthor and red lantern Mera.

 

[Gemini]

That is all

 

[Ultimate Houde]

So Hal is infected with Parallax again.

Yup.

 

[Iceshadow]

Gay!

dear god

this puts the imaginary Orange Lantern Galactus to shame

 

[ProjectX2]

Holy ****. I forgot all about him.

There are a lot of enemies to fight at the moment.

I need to go back and re-read Sinestro Corps War.

 

[Grocer Man]

Understatement of the month.

The way these odds could be worse (that I can think of) is if Johns remembered that the wizard Shazam is dead.

 

[ProjectX2]

Grant Morrison died in a previous crossover... what if he was resurrected as a Black Lantern?!

I've got the main book and I think the 2 Black Lantern Corps volumes preordered.

 

[ProjectX2]

The first three are the only ones I've enjoyed.

 

[Ultimate Houde]

In Flash they got Bart back, and in Corps they got Guy back and the Indigos showed up to recruit the Greens.

All in all, set up. But I enjoyed Captain Cold.

Boomerang Junior's characterization bothered me.
