Blackest Night by Geoff Johns
5.0
Because I read this side-by-side with the main Blackest Night book, and because they were both written by the same person, I'm going to write one review for both.
Fantastic. Geoff Johns is definitely my favorite author. He's created an entirely new mythos for Green Lantern in just this one story: the emotional spectrum, the entities, the different corps. It's all so elaborate and I love it!
Rereading Blackest Night was an amazing experience. If you want to read this, I would recommend reading it alongside the other BN books in the order it was intended to be read in. Here's a link to a list of the correct reading order. It should be noted that not all of the issues listed are collected in the BN books. Most are, but the Booster Gold, R.E.B.E.L.S., Solomon Grundy, Outsiders, Doom Patrol, Teen Titans, Suicide Squad, Superman/Batman, and Secret Six comics are not. Also, the prelude stuff isn't necessary, but it's some good stuff.
Also, one of the BN books is titled "Blackest Night: Tales of the Corps." The issues collected in this book aren't listed in that list I linked to, with the exception of Adventure Comics #4-5. This book should be the first of the BN books you read.
