This is it! The penultimate issue! Everything about Blackest Night is about 99% complete and now we get to the nitty gritty. Considering how the last issue gave us a 'holy shit' ending with Sinestro; I think we're almost to the point of closure. Or at least as much closure we can get with this.
If I can just say one tiny little nitpick first. I think that everything is sorta getting way to easy when we're this close to the end. Sinestro is overpowered now so I can see why he will be the thing to end all of this. It's the other stuff that bothered me a bit. Xanshi goes down easy, a bit too easy if you ask me. Plus I'm happy to see why Stewart isn't so upset over this going down, but I would imagine he has to be hurting somehow. But he never showed it through out the.....2 issues he's been in, which is a bit annoying. Then we have Nekron who, definitely seems to be pushed aside for this. I mean no one could touch him for the longest time, but here Hal was able to knock him out to help Sinestro. Wha?
Okay all of that stuff aside, this is a pretty damn good issue all around. The beginning with Sinestro was just beautifully written. We get the origins of all the Corps entities and it's so beautifully done by Johns. Although I find a few problems with the Xanshi and Nekron moments; Johns does write them all very well. Again it would be nice if Stewart got more time in this event; but when he does show up Johns writes him well.
I love Doug Mahnke. So very very very much. So many gorgeous splash pages, regular pages, and just everything else in general I missed. That two pages of Sinestro and the other, colored corp entities is the reason why Mahnke is a talented artist.
So some weird things aside, I still found this to be a good 'penultimate' issue for Blackest Night. I wonder where this finale is gonna go, cause other then Nekron there is nothing left really....I guess that's why Brightest Day has to happen. Either way, you guys will love this issue if you haven't read it yet.
Art: 5 - Excellent
You hit upon the one thing with this event that is bothering me. I don’t think it will end, it’s just more prequel to something Johns has plotted. He has stated GL is plotted for over five years and I think it will all be one big story.
IMO Blackest Night started awesome but it’s pulling a "Bendis".
I think this is a fair review. Some things needed more screen time. Either cut them out or extend the story. There’s a little bit of crammage going on here.
