They're definitely being written with that angle in mind, and it will keep you from puzzling out "what happened two weeks ago?" as the story unfolds.<br /><br />I am wondering if the "solution" as presented in the Blackest Night Titans mini will be the key or a step along the way. But it may be worth a read just to see "Zombie Terry Long", which cracked me up. I am completely baffled why DC stacked the Superman Beyond mini the way they did with Final Crisis, but NOTHING DC did in the 1.75 years around Final Crisis made sense to me, from a publishing standpoint.<br /><br />My gut tells me that we'll get another Corps book or two out of Blackest Night, which wouldn't be a problem for me. But I also think Saint Walker is super cool, so... I'm a terrible person to ask.<br /><br />Still enthused about "Batman and Robin", but it feels like a bit of a let down without Quitely's art.The Leaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836241071795980225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5256317.post-54656989446591006342009-11-04T08:38:31.369-06:002009-11-04T08:38:31.369-06:00Batman & Robin's first three issues were p...Batman & Robin's first three issues were pretty good but it's hard not to like Quietly's art. Now the follow up with the new, new Red Hood I'm not to sure about at this point.<br /><br />Rucka/Williams Detective Comics is a thing of beauty. People should buy it just for the art but the story has been pretty damn good too.<br /><br />I've been keeping up on Blackest Night as I've been a big fan of Green Lantern/GL Corps so it dovetails into those titles nicely. Not as well as the Sinestro Corps War in my opinion but I'm enjoying Blackest Night too. <br /><br />I haven't been looking at any of the associated minis. I guess BN Teen Titans has some really crucial plot points in it and I wonder how that'll come to play in issues 5+ of BN. Seriously, this trend of putting the solution to these big events in tie in books is really starting to get my goat! See Deadpool in Secret Invasion for another example or Final Crisis Superman 3D as well.<br /><br />Haven't been keeping up on the Superman books but I hear they are great. Read that new Brainiac story a while back and I've been meaning to pick up some more Supes trades.Simon MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14749383583517044214noreply@blogger.com
