I completely enjoyed seeing Osiris get even with his murderer.<br /><br />I WISH Barry would remain a Blue Lantern, leaving Wally to be the Flash, but I think Saint Barry is only a Blue Lantern for 24 hours(or something like that)so there already seems to be an out for him.<br /><br />Wow, I really have to get around to that next Let's Talk About... post!x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-39364475704239145182010-02-08T02:53:35.181-05:002010-02-08T02:53:35.181-05:00First, Osiris' revenge was sweet and it seems ...First, Osiris' revenge was sweet and it seems to bring the character some closure.<br /><br />Second, Blue Lantern Saint Allen seems like the perfect fit for the character. I like the idea of Wally keeping the red and yellow suit and Barry having the blue suit w/ the BLC ring.<br /><br />Last, I third the motion for a "Let's Talk About..." post.

I mean, the last time the poor guy was seen, he was getting eaten by Sobek! Sure, the way Osiris took out Sobek seemed way easy(plus didn't really make sense in the context of the greater BN storyline), but I was actually pretty happy to see him get his revenge on his one-time friend. <br /><br />I'm glad you liked the fly/hammer joke JT, it's good to know somebody out there gets a kick out of my bad jokes!<br />:-)<br /><br />Good point on the "Blackest Night Edition", Marc. When BN finally ends, I kind of wonder exactly what I'll be reading! It seems like every other comic I read has the BN banner across the top! <br /><br />Your comments on the revivals are actually kind of interesting... I'd personally doubt that said hardcore Starman/Phantom Stranger fan isn't already reading the BN mini. I mean, for the most part, the revivals have featured obscure(ish)characters that would only really interest the readers who are already checking out BN. I can't imagine there's this large number of Phantom Stranger fans who are all now picking up BN thanks to the Phantom Stranger comic... Of course I could be wrong...<br /><br />I was *thisclose* to doing another Let's Talk About... post tonight, I had the topic picked out and everything, but a new shipment of comics scuttled that idea. Since it seemed like a pretty popular post though, I'll definitely be doing another one, maybe as early as Monday or Tuesday, depending on how much free time I can create for myself.x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-42398160621459007532010-02-07T00:40:40.688-05:002010-02-07T00:40:40.688-05:00Except for a few of the books, this post almost co...Except for a few of the books, this post almost could have been called "Best of the Rest - Blackest Night Edition"! I find all these one-issue revivals interesting in concept, although I haven't read any yet. I wonder if it's actually worked at pulling in readers who weren't already reading Blackest Night. For example, do you think hardcore Starman or Phantom Stranger fans who weren't reading BN are really coming out of the woodwork now to read these new comics? There's no practical way of actually quantifying any of this, of course, but it's interesting to think about.<br /><br />Changing gears, I'd love to see another "Let's talk about..." post. I very much enjoyed reading everyone's comments on the last one.Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10558378521891430225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-7648100512258066812010-02-06T03:34:09.450-05:002010-02-06T03:34:09.450-05:00I do agree it was different to see Osiris' rol...I do agree it was different to see Osiris' role but I hated the fact that Sobek was so...easily defeated I guess? Also the fact that Billy and Marl served no purpose at all...<br /><br />I loved GL 50 but I see your pint about Parallax and that Fly/Hammer line had me laughing so damn hard. Also glad that you enjoyed BN Flash 2.Jason Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796190974001777556noreply@blogger.com
