My nipples are a little sore ...

... so it's probably nearly that time of the month, which might explain my sudden emotional outburst yesterday. There I was happily catching up with DC's Blackest Night, specifically Issue 3 of the Titans tie-in, and I burst into tears. I'm marking the moment here because it's the first time a comic has made me cry.

The offending scans are under the cut.



For those of you who aren't following the Blackest Night storyline, you just need to know that the dead are being brought back as zombie-like creatures who attack their loved ones.

Aaaaahhh oh my god, poor Donna! D:

(does that work, squishing their heads? I've only been reading the Batman and Superman crossovers, and they only took out limbs, which then grew back... I HOPE THE BABY'S HEAD DOESN'T GROW BACK OMG. EUGH.)

(also, Cassie's expression on the second page made me lol IRL)

LOL, that would be rather ghastly! No, Dove somehow manages to sever the connection between the bodies and the Black Lantern rings they're wearing. Not sure how it works yet, though, or if or how it'll tie in to the main storyline.

Haha, me too!

That got to me too. Poor Donna. :(

But as a long time Hawk and Dove fan, loving what they're doing at the moment. I suspect we'll end up with male-Hawk back at the end of this.

It's really sad, isn't it? Out of all the zombie attacks, that's the only one that really got to me.

I admit I don't know a great deal about them, but their story is most definitely awesome. I can't wait to find out what happens next.

1) I think that I'm going to start reading this.

2) I totally want to cosplay Darkstar at D*Con next year.

It's had some critisism, but I've really enjoyed it so far.

Cool, you'd look great!! I'm considering my dress-up options for the SFX convention. There's a masked ball.

Okay a few things...

1. I read your subject line and spat wine onto my keyboard. So thanks for that ;)

2. I'm not a comic fan at all but clicked anyway (frankly I felt I owed it to your nipples)

3. Oh my heart. In my defence I am a mum. So heartbreaking :(

LMAO, sorry about your wine! My nipples appreciate your attention. Uh ... you know what I mean :oD

It really does tug the heartstrings ~sniffle~

Ok, first of all... to make *women* feel bad, bring up motherhood.

Secondly, this is exactly what happened in all the Darkest Night tie-ins, i.e. character goes 'it's not really them' while tearfully slaying said zombie relative.

Sorry, I'm not buying it. It's manipulative in a very crass way. Dear DC comics, Darkest Night is not as good or innovative as you think it is.

Yeah, they def all used the same formula, but this was the only one that actually got to me. Aside from subject matter, I thought they paced this whole issue really well. It certainly hit me in the right place :o(

LOL, the thing that I really like about Blackest Night apart from zombies which always rock, is its simplicity. It's what I enjoyed so much about BftC, too. The storyline is simple and doesn't require much brain energy to follow. Being a follower of comics for only about the last five years, DC ties me up in knots sometimes tryng to understand just the history of the storyline!

*Blackest Night. Why do I always want to call it Darkest Night? *facepalm*

My issue isn't so much that there's anything wrong with the storyline of BN, it's that DC have been pimping the hell out of it for months and months and everywhere you look in the back of comics and online DC-stable writers and artists are going 'OMG Blackest Night is so awesome!!!11!!!!' :D

They're starting to sound like a scary cult, that's all. I think the last issue is going to come with a sachet of poisoned kool aid for everyone to drink taped to it.

LOL, now if they actually do tape some kool aid to it I'm going to become seriously worried!

Zombie!baby is kinda creepy. *shudders*

Hopefully, Lit will read your explanation at the top of the page and scroll down fast without looking. Zombies freak her out and we really don't need a freaked out Lit on our hands. *blows her kisses*

Oooh, I should have warned her! Whoops!
