As much as I like Blackest Night, which was a fair bit as you can find in my other review, I thought this issue was boring. As a series of multiple stories with multiple creative teams it is up and down with varities of art that are jarringly different. Many of the characters featrued here simply bored me. Whether they are important or not I do not know, since i have not read this string of books for years. I feel like as mcuh as they tried to make Blackest Night accessible to everyone, this series will be for the die hard fans only.
