The story in this graphic novel is great. It’s entertaining and surprising. This is a must read for Green Lantern fans, or even just comic book readers. There are tons of characters that you will recognize and some surprising main characters in the series. The fights are great, the colors are amazing, and the textures of all the costumes are great. You might have to read other DC comics to get what’s going on though. I was surprised that Batman was dead the entire time. (Not a spoiler, its part of the prologue.) Some very minor characters had names that I didn’t recognize from the DC lineup. The artwork was great and very detailed. I can tell Blackest Night will be the comic everyone is talking about for awhile.
