So how freaking awesome was Blackest Night? Awesome enough to make me a Green Lantern fan! Tim and I wrap up the Blackest Night story line, talk a little about Brightest Day, The Return of Bruce Wayne, and then finish with X-Men Second Coming.

So we finally get our act together and talk some more about our favorite current topic, Blackest Night. Since we missed so much over the last few weeks, here is our take on issues number 4 and 5.

Blackest Night 5

Have you been reading?  (if not, don’t listen to this yet because we drop spoilers like hot potatoes. Mmmm, potatoes.)

Let’s talk about this. What do you think about the story so far? Where do you think it’s going? Geoff Johns has completely drawn me in and I plan to follow Green Lantern from here.

Tim and I tease a little bit about X-Men Origins: Wolverine, there will be a full review next week as well as one for Star Trek so hang tight for that.

We discuss Free Comic Book Day, when I picked up Blackest Night Zero. It’s a fantastic primer for what’s happening in the Lantern Corps and the coming Blackest Night story arch which we think will be THE story of the summer. Tim gives us a little history on the Anti Monitor, because he’s very important to the Blackest Night story. See if your local comic shop still has some copies of it.

Everything begins this July with Green Lantern 43 and Blackest Night 1.

And you must get this T Shirt right now:

We finish up the Neil Gaiman Batman story. It was an odd ending and we don’t get where this fits into the rest of the Batman stories, especially with what happened in Final Crisis. One of the problems with getting a guest writer like Neil Gaiman is you expect a lot, maybe too much. Plus, his style is very different than what Batman readers are used to. It’s still a good story, but we’ll wait to see what happens before we place

Tim reviews the latest Green Lantern, how mixing blue and green is pretty dang powerful, and his battle against the Orange Lantern. I might be done with Ghost Rider already. It’s a little too campy for me right now. I will check out Jason Aaron’s other book Wolverine Weapon X though.

Tim has found a great comic, which unfortunately has been pulled from production, called Manhunter. Think Law & Order with super villains and a lawyer that turns vigilante when the system breaks down, but not like DareDevil.

We end the show with a little talk about Fables, which we’ll really get into in a few weeks.

Show runs about 40 minutes.

Lots of Green Lantern talk this time around, Secret Ninja powers, Comic book vs. waiting for the collected story lines in a graphic novel. A look at the DC catalog they slipped in my comic bag. Ideas for what to read after you watch Watchmen. Some of the bad Alan Moore movie adaptations, and no wonder he wants his name removed. A little bit about the Joker graphic novels out there. Ex Machina, which is written by Brian K. Vaughan (LOST), who also wrote Y The Last Man. Marvel also slipped a history of Wolverine into the bag so we get into Old Man Logan which looks like I’ll pick up.
