Question about the Blackest Night run to those following it.

[megocrazy]

Is the entire run pre designated? Is it known when it will finish? Which month? I know it's crossed many other titles, and I got into following it late and desided to wait until it was redone in compilations rather than buy the back issues which some of have been pricey due to the popularity of the storyline. I know some have already been released and I pretty much know everything that's happened but still wanna get it to read in it's entirity. Been a long time since I've been into comics but this story and my GL love has been intriguing enough for me to consider spending the money on it. If anyone knows anything I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

If I were you, I'd wait for the trade paperbacks. They'll probably make like 3 of them to cover the whole story.

Blackest Night Ends Next Month with

Blackest Night 8
Green Lantern 52
Green Lantern Corps 46

Depends on what you want to read and How Much you want to read. ... Basically To get the Whole story ,.. or enough of it, I'd Buy all the Blackest Night Books, GL & Corps ..., Everything Else isn't needed to read the story, it's just added Extra's. Not sure how the Collected Trades will formate this ..., I know with the Sinestro Corps War, it was split in 2 Trades,.. that had almost everything .

Blackest Night ..

Batman
Superman
Titans
Flash
JSA
WonderWoman

Are all 3 Issue arcs ..., Not sure if they will be collected or not ...

Then stuff like the Suicide Squad / Secret Six books, probably won't be collected at all ...

Egads!

I read the first couple stories, was completely put off with what they did to Black Hand, and gave up on the rest. I'm sure its good, but it isnt my cup of tea. (Kind of a Marvel Zombies "me too" by DC isnt it? )

Thanks for the quick replies. I had actually seen the Wiki on the line and was wondering if any comic afficianados had any deeper insight. I'm hoping they make it into less volumes as I'd like to get it all in fewer books if possible. I know some have already been released. Do they usually announce the combined trades right after the final issues release or is there a long waiting period. I don't wanna wait a year after the final issue comes out to get the compilations.

the storyline will be continuing in a weekly series for a year....what's it called - Brightest Light? somthing like that. I have rally been enjoying the storyline but then Zombies are my favorite movie monster too and what's cooler than a zombie? A superhero zombie.
