Blackest Night Omnibus

I was a little hesitant on buying this book at first due to the size. I have heard an omnibus could be difficult reading and caring for based on page number, and at just shy of 1700 pages definitely had me on the fence. Only other omnibus I had at the time was Batman by Morrison which is around 700 I believe, so that much of a jump made me nervous.The binding is perfect, it seems loose at first but with such a huge page count it needs it. When the book is laying flat it has a good eye in the center and no loose ends, pages didn't come loose, nothing bad at all, very sturdy binding, opens up nicely so very little gutter loss. Only really noticed it in like the first and last 150 pages only because it's not opened all the way at that point. Its held together very well through 2 reads and a few flip throughs to enjoy the artwork.Story was very easy to get into, I had never read anything green lantern before this and had no problem understanding who or what was going on. Gives good enough introduction to each character from Hal Jordan and Guy Gardner to Donna Troy and Hank Hall, and there's just about everybody in the DCU in here. Great action and storytelling, really hooked me in with the dark atmosphere and horror aspects. Once I started reading I did not want to stop, every issue either had a great fight or questions answered on how all of this was happening.This book made me feel alot more comfortable owning an omnibus. Very well put together and having a whole event or run in one book is great. This was my second omnibus I had ever owned... now i have 16, do i have a problem? Maybe. Do i blame this book? Yes

My husband loves Green Lantern so I try to buy him all the omnibus books he doesn't already own for special events like his birthday and Christmas. He's very happy with this one which is MASSIVE. Well worth the investment to see him so happy!

This is my first DC omnibus, minus a copy of the Death of Superman omnibus from it's first printing. This is so gorgeous. It's huge and fantastic. I actually ordered all three of the Green Lantern omnibuses after receiving this, I was so impressed with this quality printing. Now if only I had some free time from working to read em all, but all in good time. Really, the colors and printing quality are something awesome with this comic. It's so huge, and the story looks epic, although I am unfamiliar with it. I am only reviewing on the quality of the product and artwork, since I am unfamiliar with this story arc. I bought it because it just looked too cool, and it doesn't disappoint in person.

Hard cover, collected, and convenient when I wanna go through a classic GL saga!It has EVERY relevant issue, so it’s a big boy of a book, be forewarned.But well worth the money given that very fact!

I don't know how long the binding (which seems sufficient right now) will last, as the book is so long. Excellent collection in one place!

This book is beautiful. It’s a really great event story as told by Geoff Johns and worth every minute and every reread. Of course, I personally might be a little biased as this was the first thing I decided to read after coming back from my early adulthood sabbatical from comic reading. If you’re in the same shoes, then this event book is a great place to hop back into the multiverse.

This is definitely lives up to the term "Omnibus," and if you're a fan of Green Lantern, this can't possibly disappoint you. It weighs like 10 pounds or something though, just fyi!
