Just read it too, awesome!

One more thing, DC's milking this event hard. There's like 19 tie-ins to this event.

Retailers had to sign a contract agreeing not to sell the books early or something, iirc

I guess our "retailers" don't follow the same rules! 😄

They were right on with their choices. Im sure there were a few here that picked those same peoples/rings a while back.

yes it was

Still waiting impatiently for the Anti-Monitor to break out of the Black Lantern and give Nekron an ass-beating, or the other way around is fine with me.

I love Demonoid... 😄

Does Blackest Night rfequire any reading beyond GL? After IC I've only been reading Green Lantern steadily, and a Batman TPB here and there, and now my GL TPBs finally moved up to sinestro Corps and I start hearing about Blackest Night. I've been considering getting back into the main DC universe, but whenver I look at 52/Countodwn/Superbaby-Prime I die a little.

At the rate they release TPBs I'll probably have to wait a year or two until I can read Black Night, so I could actualy get back into DC by that time if it is worth it.

honestly, only GL, GLC and the actual Blackest Night book are necessary for the story. The tie ins are basically so you can see how your favourite characters are doing during BN...

Not really. The Tie-Ins barely drive the story forward. Maybe a little bit, but it's nothing to worry about. The only ones you need to really read are the Main Titles like Blackest Night, GL, and GLC. The tie-ins are suppose to show you how universal/multiversal this threat is.

Thanks for the info, guess I won't stress getting back into the main DC verse anytime soon then.

On a side note, how was Final Crisis? Better then IC?

Depends on who you ask. Me, personally? I thought IC was better, FC had some great moments but was slightly disappointing on the whole for me.

Blackest Night looks to be much more promising IMO ✅

...and though it wouldn't necessarily be a must, i'd recommend reading "seven soldiers" before you started reading FC itself. you'll have a better idea of the overall story that way.

Well I loved Crisis on Infinite Earths, didn't really like IC, especialy the aftermath of Superbaby Prime "punching reality" so Jason Todd is now back and a villain etc... While stuff like Identity Crisis (I think that was one of the tie-ins right?) I enjoyed.

So if I Wikipedia 52, WWIII and Countdown, what else "must" I read before FC?
