I spend a lot of time and money buying and reading comics. Most of the time I'm happy with my choices, sometimes not. I'm hoping,that with my reviews on what I've read, I might spare someone else dissapointment. I'll read anything, but I can't afford everything. If there's something you'd like for me to read, let me know. If you take the time to read this, please, take the time to let me know what you think. I may not agree with you, or you may not agree with me. But, so what. That's life.

Blackest Night: JSA #3 - DC
So it seems that Michael Holt has pieced together that since his predecessor, Terry Sloan, went after Jamal and his thunderbolt when he became a Black Lantern, that he saw that as his greatest threat. So all of this time, Michael has been attempting to assemble a device that will mimic the thunderbolts powers. He's attempting the marriage of magical, electrical and cosmic powers in this little experiment. It's kind of funny how the fate of everything hinge's on one of his hunches. Anyways, that's why he needed Alan, Dr Fate, Stargirl and Lightning to pull it together. But with the mansion blown up last issue, Alan is using most of his power to shield them. When the mansion blew up, they also experienced the return of Black Lantern Superman, Kal-L. Which has really pissed off Karen, Power Girl. Also Jesse Quick has gone after the Black Lantern version of her father Johnny Quick. Anyways, long story short, they get down to the last second before Michael is able to set of the device. But . . he does. And it works. 'Shock wave looks like it'll sweep the tri-state area before it loses integrity.' The problem is . . he can't build another one. But they do have some solace . .'At least we took the Black Lantern Superman off the board. The rest is up to the Green Lantern Corps.' Tony Bedard and James Robinson did a great job with this issue. I especially liked the way they portrayed the connection between Karen and Kal-L, and Jesse and Johnny. Jesse and Johnny's was dialogue and connection was especially moving. Also, Eddy Barrows, Marcos Marz and Eduardo Pansica did a great job with the art. And now . . all we have left is Blackest Night #8. I can't wait to see how this all comes out. It's been . . fan-frikkin-tastic!
