Stunning, color-filled artwork pushes it up a starInteresting storyline - I picked it up primarily to find out what happens to the characters after Blackest Night - and wonderful art. But the characters don't seem to have distinct voices, and the dialogue is definitely ham-handed. However, I am caught up enough in the plot to read the other volumes to see what happens. And the coloring work is really marvelously done. Some figures in the DC Universe should never die. Cancel their books because of low sales, fine. But don't kill them. Aquaman, Hawkman, Martian Manhunter. These three should be just as constant in the universe as Batman or Superman. The rest of these resurrected fools (minus Deadman) could have stayed in the grave- Firestorm and Hawk. Fairly worthless. And that is reflected in their separate storylines in this volume. Martian Manhunter is playing the detective, as he should be. A dark murder mystery for J'onn, and it reminds me of some of his miniseries from 20 plus years ago. Aquaman is resurrecting dead sea life. Hawkman is battling Hath-Set. Nothing better could have been done for these three. Their Brightest Day stories are pitch perfect.
What do You think about Brightest Day. Volume 1 (2011)?
Won't lie. I'm more than a bit confused at this point.
