Green Lantern: Blackest Night #0

In the preview to Blackest Night we see Green Lantern and the Flash wax philosophocial about the death of Batman. It shows the dual side to Bruce Wayne’s nature, as he was Hal Jordan’s best friend at times then at times, worst enemy. This issue serves as a phonemonial prologue to what is sure to be a highly entertaining series. It will be interesting to see who, if anyone else,rises from the grave. I cannot say enough about Ivan Reis’s artwork. His style is a wonderful throwback and reminescent of the highly stylized and detailed art from, in particular, Neal Adams in the 1970s. Reis is the modern version and his art is dynamic, detailed, and a joy to look at. I think he should be allowed to draw every DC book, or if contracted through Marvel, every Marvel book. Geoff Johns direction with Hal Jordan is getting to be legendary and I can’t wait to see what he has in store for the Lantern with this arc. On a scale of one to ten, I’d give this a solid ten out of ten. I’m hooked and can’t wait for the graphic novel. For more reviews see http://www.comicbookjournal.net/category/reviews/
