Blackest Night
First time poster, so if I'm doing anything wrong please let me know. :)

Spoilers for Blackest Night #1.



Hawkman and Hawkgirl are discussing their ~destined~ relationship and Hawkgirl's refusal of it when, well, this happens:

You can only post up to 4 pages each of a new issue. But users combined can post up to 1/3 of the title. So take off two picsw I believe.

well part of the Hawkman/Hawkgirl dynamic is that they die frequently.

I do hope we see the Dibny's ghosts.

Ordinarily, I'd be right with you guys with the gore, the death, etc. However:

1) Johns brought him into this world, he can take him back, too.
2) Speaking of which, they'll be back. By next issue. :p Besides, the characters have the reincarnation gimmick, now. They get a "get out of Heaven" free card, similar to Phoenix, thanks to said gimmick.
3) Their power levels rise via DEATH? Oh, sh--!!
4) I actually like the motivation of the bad guys: they're hunting all the people that have come back to life. And boy, there've been a number of them.
5) His nose. Jesus christ, what's up with Ralph's nose. That's...that's NOT twitching. And I'm scared.

I'm more upset about the fact that we've seen Ralph and Sue as ghosts already, and even that I'm willing to hold off on judging because it's only been one issue. We have no idea about the mechanisms behind the Black Lanterns yet, really.

Other than that, like people have said, rebirth has become the whole point of Hawkman and Hawkgirl. In that respect, having them be the big death at the end of issue one is a lot more powerful than just some meaningless death (coughUltimatumcough) and is pretty compelling.

I just had a thought. Each ring seems to share a power source. Because two Black Lanterns kill two people and instead of each one going up to .01% they both reach .02%.

I bet when they reach 100% the Black Lantern comes to life. And who knows maybe whoever puts on his ring will come back to life.

Question does the Black Hand have Batmans skull there
and is the bat skull being used to spit our black lantern rings?

I was expecting to hate this, but it's just so over the top it's hilarious. I can't hate anything that makes me lol.

Still, if this means we're never getting a Ralph and Sue: Ghost Detectives mini I'm super pissed.

So, I'm guessing that Johns is ignoring his own canon that Nth metal affords the Hawks some protection from impalings? Carter lost multiple limbs and was practically torn to pieces by Manhawks and was up and walking around a few days later. Although getting your heart torn out really will put a crimp in your day. Particularly when your writer crassly sets it up that you're about to admit your undying devotion and have a reunion and then both get eviscerated by a couple who, when alive, was my one of my favorite DC OTPs. Why the hate-on for romance, DC? Wrrrry?

Screw you, DC. Kendra already got impaled as a sucky plot device a few years ago. And double screw you for making the Black Lantern Dibnys such assholes. So, Death IS an emotion, clearly, and that emotion is Eternal Sadism and Douchebaggery.

An abrupt browser failure ate the long message I'd prepared right as I was finishing it, so I'll summarize.

Johns is -- as usual -- hurling the gore over his metaphorical canvas with a bucket, when he needs to be using a fine-tip brush.

Hooray, now someone going to have to mercykill the Dibnys.

On the bright side, it might be something like the energy of the rings animating the bodies, with the decomposition of the brains and the Evullll energy used in the possess causing uncharacteristic behaviour.

Rather than soul-enslaving, alien magic that entombs people's souls in a decaying prison of flesh and forces them to attack their friends and loved ones, kind of deal.

Lamest death yet. Come on, if Hawkman and Hawkgirl have to die, why not at the hands of a legion of Lanterns? As opposed tp a sneak attack that doesn't seem remotely Dibney-ish?
