Ed is back, at least bi-weekly (meaning every other week). This week he is joined in the shop by our Canadian friend, Mr. Trevor Chapman as will as the dynamic duo, Health and Andy. Topics for this week include: Siege Although Green Lantern Corps#47 carries a Brightest Day banner at the top, it really is the epilogue to Blackest Night. With events on Earth tied up, the Green Lantern Corp sets about caring for their own fallen and repairs to Oa. DC’s Blackest Night mega-event is moving towards its finale. With the third and final installment of the Blackest Night: The Flash miniseries, we are finally seeing the literal light at the end of the tunnel. For the most part, the various Blackest Night miniseries and crossovers have done little to progress the overall meta-story forward. [...] Geoff Johns and Scott Kollins’ run on The Flash represented comic book perfection. The two were operating at an unparalleled creative level. While the series was still good after Kollins’ departure, it definitely lost some of its magic. The two reunited for the Final Crisis: Rogues’ Revenge miniseries in 2008, which was arguably the best [...] You know the story by now. The War of Light has segued into the Blackest Night, which has engulfed the DCU. Undead heroes and villains are running amok and this guy Nekron is behind it all. The past few issues of Green Lantern Corps have focused on the battle between the Green and Black Lanterns [...] The first three issues of Geoff Johns and Francis Manapul’s Adventure Comics were fantastic. They were full of beautifully crafted character moments that helped re-establish Conner Kent as a major player in the DC Universe. Even the second features offered some interesting possibilities for the Legion of Super Heroes. Then issue #4 hit the stands [...] I feel like a broken record whenever I talk about the Green Lantern Corps. This book is consistently good month after month. Peter J. Tomasi has been developing his corner of the DCU for over two years and the result is a complex web of characters and plot elements that have woven together to deliver [...] Fear vs. Love The Blackest Night is in full-force and this issue ramps up the action: Green Lantern John Stewert finds out where the black rings might be coming from; the Sinestro Corp attacks the Star Sapphires on their home planet; and a smack-down fight between Sinestro and Carol Ferris (?). Plus, what if the black [...] Blackest Night: Batman represents the first of the Blackest Night tie-in books. Scribe Peter J. Tomasi and artist Adrian Saef focus on how Batman (Dick Grayson) and Robin (Damian Wayne) are handling the Black Lantern invasion. The DC Universe is currently enveloped in Blackest Night, a story that originated in the pages of Green Lantern and its ancillary titles. By its nature, the Green Lantern Corps is inextricably tied with this latest event but it succeeds as its own comic book. Ed, meet control+Z Let me start off this week’s missive by offering my deep and heartfelt apologies for last week’s paltry newsletter. I can only say that it wasn’t planned that way, but, due to technical difficulties, it ended up being inevitable. I spent hours last Thursday night pouring my heart and soul into a [...] |
