I may have to print it out and post it at work.
Speaking as a long-time fan of the Green Lanterns, who's read the book(s) through all the ups and downs since 1970 or so, this multi-year arc that Geoff Johns has been writing is the Best Damned Run Of Green Lantern ever, one of the best things DC has done in the last decade, and Blackest Night is shaping up to be the "Final Crisis" that Final Crisis wasn't.
Honestly, it's a big part of why I still bother with superhero comics.
After, what, five years of non-stop Big Events and Red Skies Crossovers from both major companies, after a year of working in a comic store, and after my Fanfic Epiphany from a couple of years ago, I've come very close to burning out on commercialized adolescent power fantasies.
But Johns is good, and Blackest Night is not so much an Editorially-Mandated MegaCrossover as it is the logical climax of the story he's been telling for the last five years.
Still and nonetheless... "They turned Green Lanterns into Care Bears" is spit-take-worthy.

Blackest Night IS good, and it makes for an excellent end to the story that began back with Rebirth, and continued with Sinestro Corps. And while there have been some additional books attempting to make it an "event", they weren't absolutely necessary to the original story.
And a darned good story it is.
