Diamond's list is quite often full of fail. So is Marvel's. I believe my Invoice and it is only 85% accurate.

I don't think it had anything to do with sales, MI:13's cancellation was a direct result of god hating the british.

Agreed. I'll post a review later on, but I will say that Johns doesn't screw around in the opening act. Big death, but one that could potentially be changed down the road.

Excellent issue.

Blackest Night #1

INCREDIBLE book (especially the final eight pages).

This issue is really not much besides set-up, but the stuff that's not is frickin great.

As usual Johns take on the numerous characters all ring true and the story is mixed well for both the seasoned reader and the newbie imo.

Art is fantastic. Ivan is top notch.

The ending tho, while it's easy to assume how they'll get out of it, is still a huge shock to me an hour after I read it.

And I got my ring.

A solid A

So I am studying as we speak, reading as many things as I can about the Green Lantern, the corps, blackest night, blah blah blah... I wanna see what all of the hulabaloo is all about.

Do all non-review group persons have to comply with your silly clique scoring matrix or just me?

Fine. Be that way.
