Okay. So I admit I don't know much about the Green Lantern Corps. I know the basic stuff, such as Alan Scott was the first Green Lantern, then came Hal Jordan, John Stewart, Kyle Rayner, and Guy Gardner (not sure if they are in order, so sorry to GL fans). I also know that Hal Jordan went CRAZY, and died, but he came back, and I know the GL Corps protects certain sectors. Anyways... I was glad that when I picked up Blackest Night #1 I knew enough to enjoy the storyline, and whatever I didn't know the comic filled in the gaps.
The storyline was fantastic for this first book. Got right into the storyline, there wasn't any unnecessary bull going on. Also like I said before it filled in the gaps for those (like me) who haven't been reading or keeping up. Also it was DARK. I like dark story lines, and considering the Black Lanterns are suppose to be fallen heroes or victims or loved ones, etc, I was hoping for a dark story. I wasn't disappointed. Especially when they showed how they charge their rings... Wow. In fact I went and bought every prelude to Blackest Night comic I could get my hands on because I wanted more. I am looking forward to the next 7 issues.
Also the very cool ring. I love it and I am wearing it now. ^_^
Sorry if this is a crappy review. I haven't done a review for a comic book and I don't want to give anything away to those who want to read it.
