Volume 2 down...holy smokes this was ALOT of shit haha.

So this is when things get closer and closer to the big reveal of the Blackest Night. The rise of the dead lanterns! Before that though we get a little revised history of Hal Jordan, his secret origin, and how he became who he is. This was interesting for me because I have never read Green lantern before volume 1 Omnibus. Then we also get the big moment of revealing all the different lanterns. Blue, Orange, Purple, and more. Of course none are really getting along and they bickering and fighting but then...

THEN IT BEGINS. The rise of the black lantern. Truly a fucked up individiual who begins the blackest night. A event to bring the dead back, zombiefied, while going after all our heroes. In this big event the entire world is effected from Flash, Hal, Superman, Wonder Woman, and more until it all comes down to one BIG ass brawl to save humanity.

Good: The blackest night was highly entertaining. The fights were fun, the stakes felt real, and the aftermath was extremely interesting. Also the origin story was very enjoyable for someone like me who doesn't know much of Hal. I also enjoyed learning about all the emotions of the lanterns and seeing them all become their own corp. Also the Orange corp is funny as hell.

Bad: it begins to stretch a little. At points I just wanted to skim the chapters but afraid to miss anything important. I also thought the whole John side story was odd and didn't add much to the overall story. The pacing had issues unlike volume 1 where felt it was perfectly paced.

Overall this was still great. I loved this event too because it was balls to the walls fun. I hope volume 3 lives up to the first two! A 4 out of 5.
