I forgot to review this.

Goes to find it

I thoroughly enjoyed the fact that in order fully be a Black Lantern, he had to kill himself in order to do it. Not sure why he killed his family, though.

"I thoroughly enjoyed the fact that in order fully be a Black Lantern, he had to kill himself in order to do it. Not sure why he killed his family, though. "

so the way it sounds is that the Black Hand is the Black Lantern's Ion

also am I the only one who thinks that they're just teasing us with all this Bruce Wayne stuff and that Bruce Wayne is not coming back as a Black Lantern

I just can't wait for Blackest Night tommorow.

I don't know...I have to disagree. In the first page of the book, they discuss the cosmic revelations, highlighting verse 6 as "the lights of the emotional spectrum" and then go on to say "as the light rises, so shall the DARKNESS," indicating (at least to me) that this has nothing to do with the light spectrum, that it is off the spectrum and a new concept (independent and separate from the light of the other lanterns) completely. "An unknown Darkness with NO satiation. A darkness with NO life." I think this reads as, it has nothing to do with what the other lantern stand for. Not linked to any emotion, rather it is tied to nothingness, darkness, simply put; death.  "

I cant wait to get my own copy.
Ever since they said that Martian Manhunter was gonna come back as a Black Lantern I been excited to read it.This series is gonna be awesome :D

I can't wait to check out the blackest night series and not just because of the promo rings (Although they help) and while I never thought of the black lanterns motive I thing revenge against those who escaped death is a good idea. Kind of like a what's dead should stay dead kind of thing.

Thank you for the get well soon wishes :D If you pick up this prologue issue which came out last week, I would imagine you would be okay. This book was a great introduction into the series and Geoff Johns gave a very cool background to what we can anticipate for the upcoming Green Lantern story arc. My advice to you, if you get lost, is to maybe check out the several pages on the site that we have that are centered around the different lantern corps. For example, check out the Yellow Lantern, Red lantern, and G reen lantern concept, team and character pages, skim them, and you should be all set. If you plan on picking up the first issue tomorrow, definitely try and pick up this one that I reviewed and read that first as it is sure to help in your understanding. Let me know how it goes! "

" so the way it sounds is that the Black Hand is the Black Lantern's Ionalso am I the only one who thinks that they're just teasing us with all this Bruce Wayne stuff and that Bruce Wayne is not coming back as a Black Lantern "

awesome review like always babs hope you get better

" @Babs: Jean Loring's "dead picture" makes it look like she's at the bottom of the sea.  craziness.  was she still possessed at the end of "Countdown"? "

Yeah this was awesome...Black Lanterns are creepy as all get out (especially one Mr. Hand I can't get that image of him licking a skull out of my mind...ugh).I take the Black Lanterns to be the absence of emotion, such as when Black Hand killed his family and their dog and anything else he ever killed without remorse.They are definitely a malevolent force and I believe that when Black Hand is talking to his master,Antimonitor?, and he says "I want them all" he means everyone not just those who have escaped death, although technically I am sure everyone in the DCU has escaped death at one point or another given the crises and such.Can't wait for this to kick off though!

In order to come back as a Black Lantern, you have to be dead...but he isn't, is he? I agree. I think it's just a way to get people to buy the book. I don't think Bruce will return as a Black Lantern, even though it is mentioned in the book. "

yes but what about the corpse in the batsuit?! "

she fell into the sea as elclipso with mary marvel during countdown to final crisis

Then again looking back at Final Crisis there is a panel where Darkseid says "Can you outrace the omega sanction? the death that is life" so I guess he kinda gave it away right there.Any further information on that event will obviously be presented when Bruce Wayne comes back.

lol what? "

i read it last week it was very awesome when i saw Atrocitus in the book

and loved the prologue no doubt about it

and i hope you get better babs

i'm waiting to get a ring

I need to pick this up ASAP!!!

"I thoroughly enjoyed the fact that in order fully be a Black Lantern, he had to kill himself in order to do it. Not sure why he killed his family, though. "

I don't know what's wrong with this videos format, but it froze my computer.

I loved it, i liked how it showed the background of William Hand, and his childhood and his early interactions with the Lanterns. I ALSO liked the the pages where it showed those who had died, it was just a awesome comic.

Really enjoyed the issue. It definatly left me  wanting more. Well writen. Thank you for the excellent review.

absolutely loved this issue. I thought the writing was on par with the artwork. It had a morbit feel to it. I agree that black probably represents a void of all things as opposed to being associated to an emotion. I think if any emotion is expressed by a black lantern it would stem from the remnants of who they were. I think Black Hand will seek out people such as Superman, Hal Jordan ect. Since it's a GL comic I think the focus will be on Hal even though other series will get a blackest night tie in. Notice in the panel where they show the people that have died Bruce wasn't included. The cover better be a gimmick, lol....

She fell into the sea while posessed by Eclipso with Mary Marvel during the Countdown to Final Crisis "

I just got the book today and I enjoyed it, I'm still wondering if I should pick up Blackest Night as well? I would have picked up #1, but I forgot it even came out Today :(

it sounds really cool i wanna buy this and get into the story, i love a good written darker story.

I got it today, along with Blackest Night #1, and Utopia: Chapter 3. I loved it. I loved my ring too. The seen where he kills his family and then himself was epic. This was an awesome comic.
