Or – “Don’t You Know What’s Goin’ On Out There? This Is No Sunday School Picnic!”
Nekron’s legion of undead minions has cut a swath of lethal force across the universe, while the Guardians of the Universe (who are mostly to blame for all this) have been taken out by one of their own. The only chance that the universe has right now are a few ring-slinging poozers who aren’t going down easy… I wish I could bet on them winning.
Or – “I Decided To Trick Or Treat With My Kid Instead… Sorry.”
The MUSIC MEEEISSSSTERRRR! Sing the song that the world wants to heeeear! Man, I’ve had that stuck in my head for WEEKS, now. This particular RFR was meant to go up last week, just in time for the annual festival of half-price chocolate, but various things conspired to keep me from completing it until today. For those of you who can’t get enough comic review goodness, I’ve got the cowbell to slake your fever, and it’s time to ask ourselves, baby, what’s the word? In the words of the great philosopher Aloysius Bundy: “Let’s ROCK.”

Or – “Hey, Vent! You Ready To Move Out?”
When you read monthly comic books the way that I do, often times you get to the point where you feel like you know what’s coming, when every title feels like you’ve read it before. On the other hand, you have the odd experience where you read a title or issues that you KNOW you’ve read before, but you cannot for the life of you remember how it’s supposed to end. With over a hundred monthly titles coming out, sometimes you need to play catchup, you need to go where everybody knows your name to the land of the Rapid Fire Revieeeeewwww!

During the Geoff Johns panel, Johns said that there would be more of those plastic Blackest Night rings on the way to stores as the series plays out. Best of all, people are going to be able to snag rings in all the Corps colors.
That is like ten kinds of AWESOME! I think I’m going to turn into a bit of an Orange Lantern when I say, “MINE! I must have them all!”

Or – “Of Course I’m Serious. And Don’t Call Me Shirley.”
Oh say can you see…
By the dawn’s early light!
What so proudly we hail…
In the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose bright stripes and broad stars,
In the perilous night…
For the ramparts we watched,
uh, da-da-da-da-da-daaaa…
And the rocket’s red glare!
Buncha bombs in the air!
Gave proof to the night!
That we still had our flag!
Oh say does that flag banner wave,
Over a-a-all that’s free!
And the home of the land…
And the land of the – FREE!

Or – “Off To Meet My Doom, Mom! See You After School!”
Comic book publishing schedules puzzle me. The Twelve hasn’t come out in what seems like a year, while Agents of Atlas is apparently on a bi-weekly status, and Spider-Man is coming out every sixteen minutes or so. Wolverine alone accounts for half the forests destroyed in the United States every month. The major publishers can’t seem to decide whether it’s a market for the celebrity auteur writer, or whether it’s the characters who sell the books regardless of creator. When Wolverine #73 came out a few weeks ago (before the publication of #72) it occurred to me that the entire industry is run by the pointy-haired boss from Dilbert, and that I should really just relax.

So far I can pick out Kal-L, Martian Manhunter, and Mirror Master. Do I also see Ralph Dibny and Aquaman?
Although had I been paying attention, they’d each have gotten their own day, but what the heck, today is going to be jammed full of stories.

Indigo Lanterns after the jump.
Yup, another batch before the free comic book hits the stores this weekend during Free Comic Book Day.

Today’s Lantern entry features the Sinestro Corps. Look for the complete collection coming soon in the upcoming Blackest Night Free Comic Book Day book coming May 2, 2009. Or if your comic book store is giving these away early (I’m looking at you comic book shop in Overland Park, KS), you already know what follows next.
From a tipster:
Those info sheets of the various Lantern Corps, including Corps not yet posted on The Source, make up the back portion of the issue. The first half, by Geoff Johns and Ivan Reis, involve a conversation between Barry and Hal.
Well there you go…

Apparently there is some interesting info in the back of the book that details the 24 issues related to Part One of the Blackest Night saga.
There can be only one (Orange Lantern), and Agent Orange is featured today in the rundown of colorful Lanterns appearing in the Green Lantern titles leading up to Blackest Night.

Or – “Meanwhile, Back At The Space Ranch…”
While Hal Jordan has had his hands full with Red and Blue Lantern issues (and been possessed by rings of both Corps) in sector 666, the rest of the known universe has also been dealing with buildup to the upcoming Blackest Night, and the remaining 7199 Lanterns have likewise been out and about with things to do, but only one book to show for themselves… Now that I mention it, 7199 to 1 seems to be an unfair ratio of Green Lanterns between the two books. Hal Jordan must have one hell of an agent.

Alex Segura over at The Source, has been releasing sneak peeks on the upcoming Blackest Night series. Today the site has the three joined covers to Blackest Night: Tales of the Corps #1-3 by artist Ed Benes’. Very cool, and sure to be the wallpaper for more than a few people. I’m digging it, and can’t wait for the action to crank into high gear in what could be the biggest series DC has released since Sinestro Corps War.
DC has announced Green Lantern #33 has sold out at the distributor level and is heading back to press for a second printing. The issue featured the Origins & Omens back up tale as a prelude to Blackest Night, and kicked off the first chapter of the 6-part Emerald Eclipse story line.
The Peter J. Tomasi story will feature a new cover utlizing interiror art by Patrick Gleason and Rebecca Buchman, and is scheduled to be in stores on March 18, 2009.
