Alright finally i can do something different for my topic. Anyone that truely knows me knows that i'm a bif fanboy. i love everything comic book related. this is what i really wanted to write a blog about but i thought movies would be easier. finally though i can get alot of stuff off my chest on whats going on in the comic book world. to be percise im going to be talking about whats been going on in the dc universe because i kind of perfer dc over marvel. anyways i'll be talking about the blackest night. the blackest night is the best event to come from dc after final crisis. the blackest nighty is a comic book with a great story line. it also has beautiful artwork and also i love the way it had everyone in the dc universe involved in the series.
this event from dc first started with the prelude issues of the green lantern corps during the war of light. The blackest night is a main stream event that began in june of 2009 with its first issue issue zero was released at the comic con in san diego. this is a limited monthly series, with eight issues not including issue zero, who was written by geoff jones. before i go on thier is a few things that you must know first to get this event the green lanterns are not the only lanterns in the universe, the are accompanied by the rest of the color spectrum: Red-Orange-Yellow-Green-Blue-Indigo-Violet, who have been at war with each other right before this event. and also another big thing you must know is that bruce wayne a.k.a. batman is dead.
the blackest night is a real short limited series but that is what gives every issue its greatness. what i really like about this story line is that you can get a sense of the characters emotions. the reason i say this is because with each lantern corps thier is there is an emotion that rules over that corps. another reason i like the story line is because the action it. i know that every comic book has action but this one in partically was action paced. i say this because this has about every character in the dc universe involved with it. also i loved the shock value that this story gives epecisally in the middle issue. the part im thinking of is the part in issue 5 when in the end batman who is dead comes back alive as a black lantern and shocks everyone but then spacks everyones emotions whick kills all the superheroes and transforms them into black lanterns.
a story line is nothing though if it doesnt have beautiful artwork and there is no exception here. the genius artist who worked with the writer during this event is ivan reis. i like this artist because he is no rookiehe has drew for companies like dark horse and marvel which shows he knows what he is doing. also the other reason i love this artwork is by the sense of detail that is given. they were so carful with the detail that they even got the detail in the rings in which theyy didnt have to do because we know what the look like because the logos of the rings are useually on the chest.
though most of the tie ins of the event werent drawn by the same artist they played a crucial part in the story. i really like that they had tie ins in this event because this series was monthly so without tie ins you would basically have to wait month by month to get back into this series. i also liked that the tie ins are there because it shows how big this event is. they basically had the dc universe in here not only did they have the main heroes and the green lantern corps but the even threw in comic book characters in which most of us have never even heard of but with them in the event it can spark peoples interest in these people.
