Last scan is AWESOME

😱

The issue was awesome

Spoiler:
Mogo is going to kick ass

I hated the fact that

Spoiler:
Kyle is not dead

I knew it was too good to be true.

P.S. Guy is awesome. "Eat this!"

Arguably the best issue of Blackest Night so far, imo.

Guy just chocked bitches en-masse. This issue was awesome.

CHOKE ON IT!

that last page was so good too.

I dunno...

Spoiler:
Mogo was pretty ineffective during the 'Sinestro Corp War' with a bunch of creepy little bald kids nearly blowing him apart.

don't count him out just yet. he didn't fly across solar systems just to arrive and get his ass kicked.

I agree.
Though

Spoiler:
I think this is where he dies

You have to admit. It happens in Blackest Night.

i'm going to laugh my ass off if

Spoiler:
mogo
dies and gets resurrected as a black lantern.

i will. none

😂 I can see it now. Imagine with regeneration

this issue just proves undeniably that BN should have been just a GL event rather than a company crossover, thats why the Sinestro War was so awesome..yeah everybody showed up but they showed in the GL comics...and thats how this should have been

i agree. it seems like things would have meshed better all around if DC would have only had the main "blackest night" series, and GL/GLC as the only other tie-in issues. that's one of the reasons i liked FC - minimal (and enjoyable) tie-ins.

but it is what it is.

Does anybody really think people wouldn't be complaining if the multitude of meetings between dead heroes/villains would only be taking place in the main series ? As it is, the most frequent seen complaint is that everything is repetitive and it's quickly losing its taste, but if that would have been the other way around everybody would point out that it's a lost opportunity to expand on the emotional impact on the various heroes/villains involved.

Another viewpoint is, say I'm a fan of the Booster Gold series. Isn't it more satisfying for me to read a whole arc dedicated to the Booster/Blue Beetle confrontation, even if similar events have happened in a number of tie-ins/related mini-series, than to get at most a few pages in the main BN story ? And this, obviously, isn't limited to Booster Gold, which is my point. It may becoming boring for those that read everything BN related, but it's rewarding for those fans of individual series.

^ i see your point completely.

i am simply of the opinion that the 'shelf life' of BN has been somewhat diminished, due to the fact that pert-near every ongoing series in DC has been used as a tie-in. now had this event been contained solely to the GL series', i personally think it wouldn't have lost so much of it's original luster.

a bunch of dead heroes have come back to life in the form of black lanterns. they feed off of strong emotions. there is a war between the spectrum of colors... we get it.

And i agree.....i felt this way some weeks back.

The other comics do not feel like vital tie-ins in my opinion, not to the same degree as they did in FC. It's working for me.

the other thing ive noticed is that the tie-ins seem like they are just f ****ing for f ****'s sake.......so to speak..... oh noez!!!! our dead loved ones/most hated foes are back to mind f ****. lets feel a bunch of emotions...lather.. rinse.. repeat. at least with FC each tie in had a specific agenda
