No, the who it is was very surprising. The fact that there is one is not. It's okay, he will be replace by the you-know-who
Hence my hint 😛

Well many already predicted this months ago so that's not a big deal, but who it is? That's the big spoiler.

According to the writing, the Spectre's never had to deal with a being like Nekron before, so apparently, his previous showings don't really matter here.
Then again, I've seen the Spectre demolish robots and dinosaurs, so "not having a soul" doesn't seem like much of a reason why he can't harm someone.
I don't get what people understand. He can't pass judgement. When someone is alive, they have a soul, they show emotions mainly love, hope, fear, greed, hatred, compassion and will(even though it's not an emotion). With that said, when one has the soul, he can be punished because of his sin that tainted his soul. Without a soul, the Spectre must use other means like in DOv or anywhere else which he use normal attacks. Against Nekron, he didn't have a host, nor did he have time to fight. He can to punish Nekron's tainted soul, but he didn't have one. He might have resorted to other attacks, but Nekron said begone! and Spectre disappeared

That's what I pretty much think. I don't think Spectre is helpless against someone/something without a soul - he still has crazy powerful magical/divine might at his disposal - but he just can't judge them (which is basically a one-hit move so to speak). I'm almost positive that Spectre, if he had more time, would have just started to unleash all kinds of stuff on Nekron (whether or not it would have succeeded is anyone's guess), but Nekron just BFRed him before he got the chance.

My point is he's always been limited before. It varies from story to story but the guy can't just do whatever he wants.In coie don't you think he was backed? If all that was needed was backing he wouldn't need the others amp. You can disagree with me all you want, but other beings funneling their power over to him in one of the biggest crises ever to hit the dc universe tells me otherwise. I don't want to derail this thread into a mini debate. I have been enjoying the main titles of this story along with hal's book.
with backing he'd wipe out anything and anyone, so no, i wouldn't say he was backed by the Presence in COIE, as it wouldn't have made sense.
this isn't like Final Crisis.
so have i.

as far as i can tell, to destroy Nekron would be to destroy "death" which in a universe that spends so much time relying on duality and opposites, would be almost impossible.
plus, he judged
Spoiler:just fine. Maybe Nekron simply hadnt done anything worth judging him for? He didn't technically do anything that was outside of his purpose, did he?

after the year Superman has had, i'd be surprised if he had even one good showing in any book.
Issue = great. Some really nice moments for me.
Spoiler:
Scarecrow and Luthor finally pitching in with a real effortThe White Entity
The sheer number of Black Lanterns (Three BILLION for each Green Lantern i think they said) in the universe.
The revelation that life began on Earth, and that the White Entity was hidden there to protect life.
That splash page of the Lantern Corps together.
Very nice issue. John has done great. He really is showing just how dangerous Nekron really is. Incredible!
Spoiler:
The guardians seem to be even more powerful, but because they resent emotions, they have gotten weaker
Spoiler:
Luther is amazing, as well as Sinestro
Spoiler:
I loved that 3 billion (and more) for each lantern
Spoiler:
the invade seems to resemble how the guardians look like
Spoiler:
The greatest lie has been revealed
Can't wait for next one
