Blackest Night
by Oclair Albert, Geoff Johns, Joe Prado, Ivan Reis
One of my most painful reads to date. The over-saturation of characters without there being any real purpose for them to be there added nothing but filler material for those poor artists to draw and overfill the pages with. This, along with an extremely convoluted plot made the whole read just a truly awful experience. It was both too wordy for a comic book and somehow still not detailed enough where it mattered. With full pages of exposition that gave no aid in making the storyline cohesive, the whole narrative became highly chaotic and just a slog to get through. It was an awful amalgamation of cliches, bad tropes, and no true substance of any kind that made it enjoyable. I honestly couldn't find anything I liked in this book. The color scheme also was a bit too much for me. I thought it was a bit too loud and worsened the whole plot but perhaps that's why they were made for each other.
