Maybe D.C. are trying to secularize their Universe ... Ironic cos Dark Avengers implies that Marvel maybe doing the polar opposite.

Very Strange.

I agreed that this event is all most over and nothing is done. Or the story is cut off short.

Anti Monitor I though is just the power of the BL? Nekron has done shit all as the big baddy. Its just a bunch of Lanterns fighting each other and sometimes the big bad guys show up for a few pages.

Either way this event hasnt impressed me. SCW is still the best event.

It's not cut off short. A lot bad stories are labeled as having problems with being "cut off short" of issues needed. But really, some of them just suck. Blackest Night still has 2 issues to prove itself though. And the book has been at most decent.

AM is back BITCHEZ!

Now we'll see who's the boss! Kiss yo daddy!

Since when? How? Scans? Impossible!!1

BN WW #3 was okay, but nothing happened.

Yay! Geoff!!!!!

IN YO FACE HATERS!

I'll LOLZZZZ so much if he comes back as a Black Lantern.

The Spectre, Nekron, Virtually everyone else with a Superpower and the Anti Monitor vs .... Hal Jordan ???

I suspect Hal should probably win !!!

Surely you are not underestimating the power of Hal's giant green scissor.

YES

(Incidentally, that'd be an awesome album cover)

I think that even if the fans dictated the story to Geoff Johns and he honoured their requests word for word, then people would still complain.

People want the Anti-Monitor in the story, they get the Anti-Monitor, now it's too late!

AM as a Black Lantern? You've got to be kidding me. srsly

He's dead isn't he? Also this was telegraphed way back when we first saw the Black Power Battery.

Look as his armor logo and colors...he looks like a BL to me.

Tbf, AM is likely to be part of taking out Nekron, with Hal striking the final blow, and maybe downing them both.

The AM is pretty much Annihilation incarnate, tearing apart an infinity of universes and all...

And how in the hell could AM be transformed anyway? A.) He wasn't dead when Nekron fashioned the lantern housing around him, and B.) How can a being composed of pure anti-matter energy be transformed into a Black Lantern anyway?

C'mon, Johns. Stop digging.

AM returning was telegraphed, sure. AM returning as a Black Lantern? Hell no.

I saw this coming several miles away.

Still insanely awesome.

I figured AM would come back - just not as a BL.

That is just stupid, imo.
