This review contains spoilers, click here to read
I don’t think a major company event has ever begun in such an intimate and disturbing way. I’m still thinking about it this morning. It was completely unexpected.
Dark. Dark. Dark. Which is I guess is appropriate for an even called Blackest Night. The whole first act had a psychotic Six Feel Under vibe to it. William Hand’s affinity for death was starkly displayed with his attack on his family, (mom!) this is truly a man with zero love in his heart, and then finally consummated with a shocking act of self brutality. The sense of dread thoughout these pages was chilling.
Again, all of these events were completely unexpected. Isn’t it great when that happens in a mainstream comic?
The art was wide eyed and crystal clear. There was no hiding what was going on. No lurking in the shadows. the horror was all clear as a moonlite night.
The ending with the renegade guardian Scar floating over all the death was devastating and elagant at the same time. To see a Guardian of the Universe pleased with such brutal domestic violence was soul killing. This is supposed to be one of the powerful good guys!!!
Since Scar’s change I’ve always felt bad that she was infected by whatever happened when the Anti-Monitor touched her. But at the same time I’ve also been terrified of her. The black goo pouring from her eyes and mouth on several occasions has been sickening to look at. I've felt bad that she's gone through such things. To think that a being of such enormous power has been hiding in the midst of the goods guys is just sad. I truly hope the other Guardians have not been so blind to Scar and that they’ve already made plans to deal with her. And to help her come back from this.
The last page, with a newly resurrected Black Hand taking his place as the avatar of the Black Lantern Corps was great. I’m not sure I’m fully prepared for the terror that these beings will now unleash upon the DCU. The rest of 2009 looks be a bleak time.
But I’ll be there, for every terrifying step and looking for the light at the end of this very dark tunnel.
Art: 5 - Excellent
