Green Lantern, Vol. 9: Blackest Night (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
I think I was supposed to read this before the other Blackest Night volume...or perhaps simultaneously. It seems to cross over and back about halfway through. Here we get the origin of Black Hand and the black power rings, which explains a lot that I was in the dark about reading the other book. Other than that, there's just a lot of fighting and energy-slinging. Very little time to breathe. If you want non-stop action you've got it but I found it a bit wearying. On the plus side, the art is much clearer here, the colors vibrant rather than dark and monotonous, and as a whole this volume is much easier on the eyes. Green Lantern, Vol. 9: Blackest Night is a book about the reluctant truce between all of the emotional color ring guardians to battle the dead bodies of all of the fallen DC Comics super heroes. The corrupted guardian has created his own corps of black lanterns that resemble zombies and spread across the univerce spreading the death and destruction of the corrupted rings.Hal Jordan; the current green lantern corps member protecting earths sector, has to team up with his former allies the Sinestro corps that have now become his worst enemy. Lead by Sinestro they recruit other corps and inlist various heroes and villains to help defeat the zombie heroes. This graphic novel has provided me with an amazing story and a fun time and I extremely recommend it.
