I have to admit, I was likewise...unimpressed with Blackest Night's choice of an ending. There certainly was a lot to enjoy about it, and I still suspect that Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps will churn out interesting stories, but aside from Deadman, I kinda yawned at the 'revival'. I was trying my best to remember who Maxwell even was, and really, Captain Boomerang? I hope that Johns and his crew keep their heads in the game on the Corps, though, as that still has my interest. And incidentally, with Dark Reign ending over on Marvel's side, coincided with what seems to be an end to Greg Pak's Incredible Hercules for the time being, Marvel now lacks anything that can pull me in aside from Peter David and X-Factor. Care to guess what Silver Age hero returned at the end of Dark Reign, hrrrm? Or ye gods, who it's hinted at that Hope Summers is a reincarnation of? Both comic houses are dragging back dead headlines to sell comics while also putting an end to interesting runs. Sinestro, as a villainous leader, is one of the most fascinating characters I've seen in comics for a long time. His recent counterpart in Marvel, Norman Osborn, was incredible as the head of Dark Avengers. I loved every minute of seeing Norm mete out heavy-handed justice and slowly get in over his head, while still finding the wit to stay at the top. The supposed plan now for most of Marvel is just a return to the stale and oft-abused, and of course, Deadpool.
