Well me and RJ just came home from discovering the secret tribe of hot Tibetan women. But when we told them that we were unwilling to impregnate them, they chased us out using poison-tipped spears. RJ is still traumatized so I guess it will be just me making a post for now.

Blackest Night: Superman looks like it will be a good series on its own! Even without it being too tied up with the Green Lantern story (for now), the concept of Kal-L and the rest of the dead cast of Superman & Co. stands out quite well.

Much to my disappointment (just a bit) they really didn’t kill anyone major this time around. As we have found out, the Black Lanterns of Earth 1 / Sector 2814 / just Earth if you are not a geek are forming their own Justice League – who are of course EVIIIL zombies with superpowers.

I am a bit iffy at the fact though that so far, Blackest Night is seeming to be redundant. Basic plot line is as follows: Somebody dead rises and that somebody dead makes living superheroes feel bad about themselves by saying over and over where they went wrong – and they punch each others’ faces out for no apparent reason.

This is why Superman became EMO in the issue:

Lest I spoil the comic too much, I won’t reveal anything else. Overall it is a good comic and a series that commands high potential and expectations. I just hope Blackest Night will go further than the plot lines that they have been using for now – such as revealing WHAT the Black Lanterns are after, WHY they see the living as a combination of emotions and WHAT is with their power levels?

One last thing though just to spoil you if you haven’t read it, but not only did Kal-L (Earth 2 Superman) become a Black Lantern, but so did Zor-El and Earth-2 Lois Lane. YIKES! That oughta teach you to read the comic before the review!

If you are following Blackest Night, needless to say a must-read. 4/5 stars.

Oh look, it’s Friday, and that means us Comicgasm monkeys have to write reviews to satisfy your comic book urges! Even if our reviews are a day late so it really won’t mean anything because I’m pretty sure you’ve already read these issues and our opinions would be pretty much superfluous! How’s this for a filler intro!

First, apologies for the lack of articles. You see, RJ, Fiel and I have been stuck in the mountains of Tibet where we discovered a secret tribe of hot Tibetan women. The welcome fellatio we received from them was so intense this blog actually stopped churning updates.

To make it up for you, Lady Bullseye and I have set up this little slapstick routine, where one of us ends up with a concussion…

Thanks for taking one for the team, Lady Bullseye! (continue reading…)
