On second thought….

I know I trashed the Blackest Night figures the other day, but having seen the pix of the second wave, I think it’s only fair to add a couple of things:

• At least DCD is getting event figures out closer to the event – this is better than FINAL CRISIS or 52 figures that came out way after the fat lady had sun – of course these early solicits mean spoilers ala the E2 Superman spoiler, and from the shape of that cowl you gotta think that’s a zombified J’onn J’onzz that’s been blacked there
• GREEN LANTERN and Geoff Johns are two of the best things going at DC at the moment, so there’s a good chance that BLACKEST NIGHT won’t stink up the place, so tying in with this event may well be a smart thing
• And at least it looks like someone read my last post and gave us a MA John Stewart, although I have to say I’m not sold on the face here.

…and that’s the final work on BLACKEST NIGHT and associated merchandise from me for now, except to say that if they make a Black Lantern Aquaman figure I am going to be in a real bind…….
