Blackest Night
by Geoff Johns
This collection was fantastic and went far beyond what I was expecting. It hit all it's narrative beats right on time, and didn't dawdle at all. While I was lost without some of the back story because of DC's penchant for super-confusing continuity, the story gave me just what I needed to understand what was going on. The writing is solid and makes for some great blockbuster moments without going over the top. The art is fantastic, and some of the vertical splash pages were absolutely astonishing and dramatic. Probably the only downside of this book is that it's binding prevents you from pulling the pages all the way apart without breaking, so a fairly noticeable strip is lost on every page. Most of the time this isn't a huge problem because of the panels, but it takes away from the gorgeous splash pages.
