    This issue was alright. I didn't really understand what the hell was going on with the Spectre and the GL symbol in his eyes.

              I enjoyed the issue. I'm a bit biased torwards Deadman, Spectre, and the Stranger, so this issue was kind of marketed to me anyway. I thought the art was very good. It really stood out to me how well drawn all the characters were.

              The story was fine, and I enjoyed the break from the typical formula they've been using in every tie in, with the dead getting rings and stalking loved ones. I always love seeing Nanda Parabat and Deadman's supporting cast. I was hoping for more Spectre, but that's obviously coming in GL #50.

              While not amazing, it was certainly more enjoyable to me than most of the tie ins. A nice 3 out of 5 stars, though the art was deserving of more.

                I just realized that this is actually supposed to take place DIRECTLY after the scene seen in Blackest Night #2 where the Spectre becomes a Black Lantern in the cemetery. Like, literally right afterward... he becomes a Black Lantern, stands, then kneels forward to smack Phantom Stranger like in this issue.

                But there's a major fuckup: what happened to Zatanna? She's standing there with Phantom Stranger and Blue Devil in BN #2. She's even on the cover of Phantom Stranger #42... but she's just not in the issue.

                  Doesn't the Blue Devil mention something about Z during the issue?

                      She does. She shows up at the JL Cave with Gypsy and they all go to the Hall to be written terribly.

                        Incidentally... I've noticed a really stupid trend in all the Blackest Night tie in books...

                        They seem to all feature the line "I'm moving on" or words to that effect...

                        John and Xanshi...
                        Ray and Jean...
                        now that I'm thinking about it don't Dr. Light and Katana and Zatanna and a bunch of other characters confronted by the "ghosts of their pasts" come up with that same line at some point?

                        They should have just called the event "Moving On"...
