This issue paid off big, the fan service was amazing and abundant. Johns and Dc said at the very beginning this mini would have drastic changes throughout the main DC universe.
In a business where characters die and come back every month it's good to see that those actions have repercussions.
From Start to finish this series has been filled with death, it's nice to know that not eveyone was gonna come back to the world of the living. now there were quite a few Resurrections, I'm not gonna say who cause this is a review not a spoiler.
Anyway after the events of BN 7 with Sinestro becoming the White Lantern and the events of Green Lantern 52 and Sinestro's Immortality as a White Lantern. the action was none stop all the Lanterns made it to Earth and joined forces to stop Nekron. The "entity" gets ripped from Sinestro and another is chosen as the White Lantern, it was bound to happen and really came as no suprise. the person or people chosen to be White Lanterns, that was a suprise. The Power of a White Lantern is awesome, real quick after there chosen there is a four page gatefold showing off Ivan Reis' amazing art. the events of this series will effect the DCU for years to come.
one last thing without spoiling the ending: "no, I can feel it out there, Barry. Urging us to break away from the past and the Blackest Night...and head into tomorrow." and intot he Brightest Day
