Stop Being Good....i can't take it
I love this Blackest Night stuff, the tie ins too but this story is killing me too. The anticipation between issues and tie ins has me jonesin' for more. I have never yelled, "Don't go its a trap!" into my comic until this issue and that was only the second page. I loved seeing how Deadman would be affected (checkout Blackest Night: Batman for more with Deadman) and other dead but not dead guys which is weird because i never cared about Phantom Stranger or the Specter until this issue and now I do. There is a great balance of sub plots all throughout this issue. you want to know more but you know you won't get all the answers but what you do get quenches you curosity's thirst (kind of, if you get what I mean). You see how Atlantis/Aquaman are hit, the dead but not dead people are affected, space and other people/groups are affected (I don't want to spoil anything). The issue wasn't as shocking or emotionally "compelling" as the 1st but its still amazing so far my high standards are being met. The balance of plots is awesome i cannot stress that enough though. The issue shows how far reaching the Black Lantern/Blackest Night reaches. A great example, A couple on panels show how much chaos and far reaching the Black Lanterns are. En Sabah Ur...RISE (yea we all saw it coming). Mr. Ur all the way out in space, dead for a long time you know he'll stir up trouble and the extremely little bit we of "him" sets up another great sub plot. Damn you DC comics why are you so good...READ BLACKEST NIGHT #1 & 2 AND THE TIE INS YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT, well you will once you are as hooked as I am.
