How many we have lost
This issue does exactly what it needs to do, if only without much style in getting there. The issue is mostly framed through a sequence of vignettes of the fallen heroes, and shows a few in specific. The more tangible aspects of the plot focus on the Hawks, Batman's grave, The Earth based Green Lanterns and the deterioration of events on Oa. It is really a confine of the plot that the beginning of the issue is not as exciting as it is setting the scene for all which follows, in this case that is around 60 issues of tied-in series, miniseries and one-shots. While the beginning of this issue is a little slow, the end is definitely humming though as the first two major plot developments take place. With this as a lead-in it appears that the entire event will be going interesting and exciting places.
