This book didn't quite live up to my expectations after the excellent Blackest Night: Batman #1, but it set things up well and I'm intrigued about where this is going.
With all the Black Lanterns trying to get at what matters most to a character, I like the idea of one Lantern not just going after individual loved ones but after a whole town. I'm also hoping for a zillion rings to be sent to those Kal-L has murdered so we get a Smallville Black Lantern zombie army that looks like a scene out of Night of the Living Dead.
The brother relationship between Clark and Conner Kent was nice to see more fully developed, and I hope they keep developing that relationship in Adventure Comics.
The beginning of the rainbow effects for multiple emotions coursing through someone simultaneously was interesting, though it didn't totally make sense with the visual depiction from a logic perspective, but it was intriguing enough that I can overlook that. It also got me wondering what Black Lanterns see when they look at one another; is it just blackness, or do they experience emotions from the emotional spectrum?
They had me with thinking there'd be a dead Krypto. When he opened his eyes while lying in the rubble, that may have been the most excited I got the whole issue. Speaking of which, are we going to get any animal Black Lanterns?
I hadn't been thinking much about it, so the Black Lantern Lois Lane was a fun surprise. I'm hoping they give her something interesting to do so that she's not just a bit player in this.
I didn't care much for the Supergirl portion, as I think this would be more fun as a Smallville tale, or perhaps a Smallville transitioning to Metropolis tale. With the action moving to New Krypton, it felt like there was too much happening at once.
Overall, the chess board has been set, but I'm anxious to see the pieces start moving.

There are some BL animals if you count the dead animal aliens in the GL Corps.
