There's no doubt, in my mind, that 'Blackest Night' isn't gonna change anything at all. Death is still going to be meaningless because authors can't think of any other ways of drawing readers than, "OMG, someone dies this issue forever!" And you can have big events dealing with this, but unless Didio is going to mandate it (and lord knows, telling a good story doesn't seem to be one of the man's strengths), then yeah. Editors and authors are just gonna keep on telling us, "Death really means something!" and it will continue to cease meaning anything.
