Welcome back to the Comicast!
We're wrapping up our two-and-a-half episode long coverage of Green Lantern and the Blackest Night event, so be sure to listen to our last two episodes before starting here, as spoilers abound!
We ended the last episode talking about the final battle and some of the aftermath, but avoided too many spoilers so that we could have a more in-depth discussion for the final episode, so listen in and bear with us as we fall of the rails more often than our editing team can count, as we dig deeper into the intricacies revolving around the Blackest Night!
Once again, flowers to the creative team that contributed to both collected volumes of Blackest Night and Blackest Night: Green Lantern, listed below:
Both series were written by Geoff Johns, while the former was penciled by Ivan Reis, inked by Oclair Albert, and Colored by Alex Sinclair, while the later was penciled by Doug Mahnke, Ed Benes, Marcos Parz, inked by Christian Alamy, Doug Mahnke, Tom Nguyen, Rodney Ramos, Mark Irwin, Ed Benes, Luciana Del Negro, Rebecca Buchman and Keith Champagne, and colored by Randy Mayor, Gabe Eltaeb, Hi-Fi, and Carrie Strachan.
Come back in 2 weeks for our episode on our favorite blue, BAMFing X-Man: Nightcrawler!

Previous Episode

13 - Say it with us: "Atro-sigh-tus"

Welcome back to the Comicast!
This week, Jeff, Madison, and Sam bring you part one of our first two-part episode around the DC crossover event: Blackest Night!
With black rings raising dead heroes and villains, Hal Jordan and other ring-slingers from different corps, tribes, and armies are forced to band together to put the fallen back to rest before Nekron can extinguish all light (and life) in the universe!
For this episode, we read both "Blackest Night" and Green Lantern: Blackest Night" to give a better idea of the scale of the story. Both series were written by Geoff Johns, while the former was penciled by Ivan Reis, inked by Oclair Albert, and Colored by Alex Sinclair, while the later was penciled by Doug Mahnke, Ed Benes, Marcos Parz, inked by Christian Alamy, Doug Mahnke, Tom Nguyen, Rodney Ramos, Mark Irwin, Ed Benes, Luciana Del Negro, Rebecca Buchman and Keith Champagne, and colored by Randy Mayor, Gabe Eltaeb, Hi-Fi, and Carrie Strachan.

In this episode, Jeff, Madison and Sam BAMF! into the world of Nightcrawler, the blue-skinned, teleporting X-Man with a rich and complex backstory. Specifically, we'll be looking at two Nightcrawler storylines: 'Nightcrawler: The Devil Inside' by writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and artist Darick Robertson, and 'Nightcrawler: The Winding Way' by writer Chris Claremont and artist Todd Nauck. Join us as we explore these two mid-2000's Nightcrawler tales and discuss their themes, characters, and stories in depth!
