Review:

The Blackest Night arc was over many years ago. I was really upset when Black Hand coughed out a Black Ring. But my initial thoughts were proven wrong. He puts an awesome spin on the Black Hand’s purpose, which totally changes Hal’s position.

Why are the Guardians behind all the trouble? In Green Lantern Corps., they talk about getting the third wave of lanterns, they do the same thing here. With the new penciller, Hal Jordan changes too. There is something different about him in every issue. One scene where Sinestro’s arm was twisted in a very strange manner was very interesting. There was some awesome Zombie smashing scenes, where there were so many constructs. These were the high points of this issue.

This ended with an awesome cliffhanger where the Black Book says that Hal Jordan will be the greatest Black Lantern, and we also see the body of Hal Jordan on the ground.

This was a very good issue. Really can’t wait to see where this arc goes. By revealing that Hal will become a Black Lantern lot of things change.

Final Verdict:

8/10
