Oh my god this is the most exciting DC event since the original Crisis. This is absolutely amazing and frightening at the same time. Is there anything better than superheroes kicking ass? What if they were kicking zombie ass? And what if those zombies were other superheroes (Elongated Man, Hawkman, Aquaman etc)? It's just the coolest thing since the printing press, which is much better than sliced bread. Blackest Night is the perfect answer to the muddled Final Crisis and Countdown before that. Top notch, and can't wait to see what happens when the Black Lanterns reach 100% power level.

Probably the least of the core Blackest Night series, which is ironic, as it's the core book. Reis's art does fairly well, but the story suffers, like most crossovers do, by being bogged down with too many characters, too much going on at once, and, eventually, by a fairly corny/obvious deus ex machina. I understand it's there to start off the next change in tone, but...well. The execution could've been a little better. Still, it's way better than the vast majority of crossovers of the past few years.

Good graphic novel, I am impressed, first time reading Green Lantern
4.5
with blood and rage
crimson red
ripped from a corpse
so freshly dead
together with our
hellish hate
well burn you all
this is your fate
-- a beautiful quote from atrocitus.
I love this book! I love it so much for these reasons. 1. the art by Alex Sinclair and Ivan Reis is unbelievable, I especially loved the splash pages with all the lanterns saying their oaths and the splash page where heroes like the flash, wonder woman, mera, the atom and Lex Luthor got chosen by copies of other lantern rings, I especially loved the colouring by Alex Sinclair because usually, I don't care about colouring but this was so great. I also loved the dialogue between the different lantern corps and the dialogue between Hal Jordan and barry. I also enjoyed the twists such as when everyone got connected to a white lantern ring or when Bruce Wayne rose from the dead.
I only had one problem which was that I felt some of the dialogue at the start of the book felt like filler to me and it found it boring.
overall amazing book
