Nicely done! Its really easy isn't it? But it makes the ring SO much better! :rock
 
can anyone tell me what order to read this storyline in?
 
I've just read them in the order of they day they come out. I've never been sure which issue comes first when there are multiples on the same day. So far it doesn't seem to matter.

Do you have a checklist? I think if you follow the order on the checklist you should be OK.

so far weve had the issues of Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps leading up to Blackest Night #1. The Blackest Night: Tales Of The Corps are more origin stories and really dont have anything to do with the major series other than some insight into the corps that we don't know too much about. The way I've read them have been in the order of BN #1, BN: Batman #1, BN #2, BN: Superman #1.
 
I've been reading in order that I get--If you just picked up back issues--I would try to read the titles together--

Read the Green Lanterns before the Blackest Nights. Everything else are just tie ins that show what is occurring at the same time as the Blackest Nights.


Great job on the BL ring, Mike! :rock

I need to get off my duff and get a silver Sharpie and give mine the Buttmunch treatment! :lol

Thanks! BM is right it definitely changes the feel of the ring completely. I was considering giving it a clear coat to make it look more like one of the rings but I'm out. I'm also wondering how glow-in-the-dark paint might work on these....
 
I can't remember. Is BN #0 supposed to be before or after the Prologue? I want to say after despite the fact it came out several months before the Prologue, it takes place after.
 
BN#0 takes place concurrent to the Prologues if I remember correctly. Should this be stickied?

thats a good question. im gonna have to go back a read everything over again. before anyone reads into Blackest Night it might be a good idea to go back and read the final issues of the Sinestro Corps War, DC Universe #0, Final Crisis: Rage Of The Red Lanterns, Final Crisis #1 & 6, the issues of Green Lantern & GLC leading up to BN, and Blackest Night #0. pretty much in that vague order.
 
Couldn't wait until Wednesday, went to the Comic Shop to pick up BN: Superman. Gotta read it.

you won't be disappointed. the artwork is very impressive and the story is just as awesome as the rest of the Blackest Night books.
~~this is the first story that has me going out to get every book as well as the side story books. i've always been able to stick with the main book, but so far i find some of the side stories better than the main Blackest Night books.
