Johns puts the story in drive and keeps accelerating as DC’s Zombie Comic unfolds. This book has several things going for it, and this issue has quite a few moments that will stick in my mind for a long while. I’m glad no one else was in the house Wednesday night because I actually yelled “Hells Yes!”, and “Take it bitch!” a few times without even realizing I did so.
Firstly, I have NEVER liked Aquaman much. Like the majority of the comic book population, I just don’t really care. Be it Aquaman or Namor, I don’t care if there’s a guy who has sea-powers. When you bring in writing’s greatest cheat of magic into the mix, I can’t be bothered. However, seeing the sea king rise from his grave and use his telepathy to rip apart the Atlantian soldiers was a hundred time better than seeing him “Save the day” on Superfriends. My favorite part of the panel with the sharks erupting out of the water to rip the royal escort apart was the cuddly Sea Lion that was ripping off a soldier’s lips. You are a sick man Ivan Reis.
The second moment that got me was when Barry and Hal team up to take out J’onn. The words “Flash Fact” ALWAYS get me, and in that moment, I was ecstatic. Unfortunately for our heroes, their creativity was met with disappointing results, which brings me to the greatest strength of this book. The “How the hell will they get out of this one?” story that Johns is writing is fantastic. Most events, such as Infinite Crisis, Secret invasion, and Final Crisis have some dark moments, but as a reader I always knew that the heroes will save the day. In this book, I’m not so sure. With the powers and resiliency that the Black Lanterns exhibit, I don’t have an inkling of how our heroes will save the day, or even survive.
The only way this book could get any better is if they would double the size of each issue, and give us more scenes about the Guardians and the War of Light. This week’s Blackest Night stories are very self-contained and small in scope as we are Earth-bound and reading about the same fights from issue #1. The only thing I fear about this series isn’t a zombie Justice League, but the story collapsing under the weight of such a massive scope. The personal character development needed to address the weight of sorrow and loss is a stark contrast to the great galactic disaster that is spreading across the stars. Still, I’m eagerly looking forward to more.
