  1. "Scarecrow bathes in the fear he constructs" Yes!

  2. I kind of hope he literrally takes a yellow lantern Bath.

  3. If this is what we have to look forward too with Kirkham on GLC then I am not going to be pulling the series much longer.

    @krad00/PraxJarvin: I’m imagining him in a shower cap and using a brush to wash his back. 

  4. Why now?  I’ll probably buy it, but why now, Mr. Johns?  Wait, is this an anthology?

  5. MIght hold off a week to get this one just to spread out a heavy week.

  6. I will read anything with Animal-Man in it.

  7. There was a lot of unexplored ideas in Blackest Night.

  8. @ZookZoltn: I am also buying this for Animal Man. I figured I was the only one.

  9. Animal Man sold me on the book when I flipped through it in the shop.

  10. Animal was awesome, I enjoyed the bit with Ragman and I no longer ask, "what happened to those lame Rainbow Raiders?"

  11. hey this was really cool. Animal Man making a comeback in Brightest Day? And it looks like there is more in store for the black lanterns. This was certainly a nice surprise out of left field. Really fun issue. 

  12. I felt kinda gipped. Johns and Tomasi are listed as headliners on this book but between the two of them there’s maybe what 8 pages by them? The rest of this was slightly below average. Now I’m sad, I was so excited for this.
