Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel. -- Psalm 69:6 |

Blackest Night #8 of 8
DC Comics
Johns, Reis, Albert & Prado
DC wraps up its latest crossover/event with the finale of Blackest Night. It has a lot of what you might expect from a project of this scope. There are a lot of splash pages, lots of characters, plenty of clichéd dialogue and plenty of loose threads for future storylines. It's a competent issue but doesn't really deliver the powerful ending that I was anticipating. The issue itself is light on the action and seems to abandon many of the elements that we've seen as pillars during the last nine months or so. For some, I'm sure this issue will be revered because it does have a big-stage-like quality to it that lathers up to some of the characters. However, as a finale to a story it leaves too much unresolved to really be satisfactory. This just simply wasn't the Sinestro Corps War.

Blackest Night #7 of 8
DC Comics
Johns, Reis, Albert & Prado
The penultimate chapter in the main mini series continues to move around the pieces for the big finish. The comic book looks great, has some great confrontations and has a lot of loud moments, but its light on story. As has been the case since the beginning of this series (and the satellite titles) seems to not have enough story to fill in the duration, and yet, in the main series the story seem to be leaving out too much story. It's puzzling when you stop to consider the elements of the issue and how they get from point A to C while leaving out point B.
Media Release -- BLACKEST NIGHT, the epic miniseries from writer Geoff Johns, continues to rock comics shops everywhere, with the sold-out issue #5 set to return in a new, second printing!
