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(

Dear DC comics, Darkest Night is not as good or innovative as you think it is.

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!
