I've finally read it, but in trade form, without all the tie ins, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. If the book had been contained in the G.L. books and the miniseries itself, I think it would have been a lot more commercially successful. I think event books need to be read as a whole, the same occurred with Fina Crisis, enjoyed that a hell of lot more, read in one session.
Reading the trade now, along with the Green Lantern:Blackest Night trade. So far it's pretty awesome stuff, fun premise. Just wish they had put it together concurrently in volumes comprised of the actual event, and the green lantern books in linear fashion rather than split up like they have it, makes reading it in order a bit of a pain. Shoulda just done it like the Sinestro Corps War trades (which was ****ing amazing).
I'm just getting into them. Interest was mostly spurred by the encroaching DC reboot, and I'm going back and reading some of the older books now. Am having a blast.
I agree, its a-lot easier reading a main event in one sit. Reading individual issues sometimes confuses the reader because you have to backtrap from the beginning. I had a hard time reading certain stories when I first started reading comics because I wasn't well verse with either DC of Marvel. Even to this day, I'm still having a hard time reading certain issues. Anyway, glad to hear you enjoyed Blackest Night and Final Crisis. I loved both of them, because they made me appreciate the art, the writer and the DC universe as a whole.
I just went back and read Blackest Night (the main series and GL tie-ins only) and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's still a notch or two below the near-perfect Sinestro Corps War, but it was still quite good.
