What would you say to the living entity of fear?
Blackest Night

Probably "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"
This is true somewhat. He did have several meetings with Pa Kent, some weird coma like near-death dreams (the whole white light, meeting your loved ones, etc), a lot of Pa Kent from his army days etc.
But they easily proved he didnt die when Superboy Prime and New Krypton came into being, showing off how their powers alter either in a Red Sun or Yellow Sun environment so its easy to see.[/QUOTE]
Except that Nekron says the rings can take them because they died and came back... so Supes must have died instead of just being in a coma...
The explanation that the Superman writers gave is that he was essentially in a coma.
For everyone else, he was dead. And he was considered dead for the story purposes of Blackest Night.

I really shouldn't, but I will justify that maybe superman had a "clinical death" for a few seconds but thanks to Nekron he comeback and entered in a coma.
better?

Go read Sinestro Corps War... it's worth it.
Go read Crisis on Infinite Earths... it's worth it.[/QUOTE]

Anti-monitor doesn't really do anything in the Sinestro Corps War, but stand around and give people scared reaction shots. In Crisis he is a badass mother-****er who goes toe-to-toe with the Spectre and still not be stopped.
It made more sense when he was the evil opposite of the Monitor.
Truthfully the Anti-Monitor is like Doomsday. He's an über powerful plot-device villain created for a single story. After that story is over there's just not that much to the character.
Similar characters are Venom and the second Reverse Flash (zoom was an awesome character who went from being a sympathetic man with good intentions who just cracked, to a complete psycho who goes around attacking heroes to make them "better").

Wasn't the 1st Reverse Flash a guy from the future that found Flashes suit and used his powers to commit crimes?
Also, the Anti-Monitor is called that because he's from an anti-matter universe or something like that, his actual moniker is just the Monitor too.

Well, the final issue came out today. I'm going to assume NickGuy has read it. Any one else out there?
Everyone else as blown away by it as I was? I mean, it had been a spectacular trip all along, and while not OVERLY surprising in terms of plotting, the epic story was not only captivating, but seemed to hold true to each and every character's motivation...which is a nice surprise in comics these days.

it was a fun ride with a decent end, which was the one thing i was worried about. quite a few events have great build ups and then trail off into garbage but i didn't think blackest night did that. now i just gotta wait 9 months for the collected version to come out. hopefully they don't fuck it up like marvel usually does...
Don't assume I read it, Kaykor. For one, I don't buy monthly issues anymore and haven't in years. Two, I'm sick of events.
I've seen the scans and read what happens. And it's stupid beyond belief. GOD, I'm so sick events.

Quite frankly, I thought the ending was a bit on the retarded side.
Arbitrarily bringing back who they felt like bringing back was just plain stupid. Let these heroes stay fucking dead. And of all the people they bring back from the dead, fucking Captain Boomerang gets a new lease on life? WTF?
I found that it's much easier reading DC/Marvel comics if you just give up on expecting them to leave people respectfully dead. The other option is not reading them, which I mostly don't.
it was fun overall, but i think they made the wrong decision in making it a company wide crossover. even though i only read the main title and the GL/GLC issues, i could see from the endless tie-ins that they were milking it like it was a cow made entirely out of money.and solid gold udders. i'd have to re-read both, but it didn't feel remotely as epic as the sinestro corps war, and i'm not sure why.
