Well, its finally over. I have finished reading all material related to the Blackest night. And all in all, it was very good. I hope at some point in time DC decides to make a definitive version or omnibus version that takes all of the Blackest Night titles and puts them chronologically in order, regardless of character. That would be an amazing purchase. I doubt they will do it though. Oh well. With Rise of the Black Lanterns we are given a binding of single issues from Power of Shazam, Catwoman, Suicide Squad, Question, Phantom Stranger, Weird Western Tales, Atom, Hawkman, Starman, Adventure Comics, and Green Arrow. Green Arrow by far was my favorite. It definetly get me interested in learning more about the Oliver Queen and the Green Arrow mythos. It also doesn't hurt that I know Oliver Queen and Hal Jordan are good friends either. With a list as big as this I was able to get a little taste of many of DC's other characters. Some were actually really interesting, others stunk. I think mainly because there is a certain artistic style that I like and many of them I did not care for. The more I read different comics, the more I tend to gravitate towards the traditional superheros. I like larger then life, couldn't really happen characters. I like escapest reading in my comics. Rise of the Black Lanterns had too many "realistic" characters. They seemed boring to me. This book just like the last couple of Blackest Night books is surrounding support. I doesn't stand up on its own but makes the Blackest Night that much more of a rich story.
