Green Lantern Darkest Night #1 Review

The Blackest Night falls from the skies...
...the darkness grows as all light dies...
...we crave your hearts and your demise...
...by my Black Hand--the dead shall rise!
So today, Blackest Night #1 hit comic shops everywhere. First off the art, it's really good, Ivan Reis and Ethan Van Sciver are doing a really good job here. The writing is good, definatly has the same flow and grab as the preludes do. Geoff Johns is doing a really good job, this is by far his best yet, and I used to not be a very big fan of his. There's a lot of surprises around every corner, a lot of forshadowing and things like that to get you to want to pick up issue 2. I'm not going to spoil anything for you becuase even if you aren't a GL fan, this book is great. The Black Lantern's all haven't been revealed yet, although there is huge speculation that Bruce Wayne will be a Black lantern although nothing so far has been shown. Again great writing, great art a great book, if you see it check it out. I give it 4 out of 4.

Damn now I really want a ring! I also couldnt believe half of the stuff they pulled in issue 1! This is going to be an epic storyline.

you guys totally said what i think...it is the best first arc issue i've read since civil war...killing the hawks to resurrect them was grimy...looked like an ultimatum fight...now with the dibnys etc...and soon the grayson..damn...it's gonna get emotional and messy...this black hand hugs corpses and licks skulls in graves...damn johns wrote some good shit..he should be writing the movie

Funny you should say that Anil Rickly. During a Wizard poll last year the fans voted Geoff Johns as the person they most wanna' see write a comic book movie.

Definitely a great issue! Chalk full of action, horror, gore, and surprises. Can't wait for the next issue, along with all the tie-in books associated with it. This may be the biblical end for the DC universe, but it's just the beginning for the rest of us. Let the dead f**king rise man! and let more chaos commence.

johns is a master...GL first flight was nice too...so GL seems to be in a golden path now..reynolds better not f-it up...but i always called reynolds a poser and ppl on this site prb thought i was just ranting and raving...but i knew reynolds sucked ass cuz he knew deadpool was shit in wolvie and still acted like he was the original wade we know...and now...i think he's gonna drop out of d-pool and ppl are gonna see i was right...but i still think he can do a good HalJ
