Brightest Day #11

My enjoyment of this title is in direct inverse to the amount of hawk-material it contains. That is, I hate every issue that the Hawks appear in. This issue focues on Aquaman and Firestorm, so naturally I found myself pretty interested. Firestorm has the big plot points, as that evil voice gets a new body in Deathstorm, and he's not alone. He wants to kill the universe and he's going to need help; he creates Black Lanterns for each of the returned characters. It's probably time for some greater plot involving that lantern to really kick off, and a small army of Black Lanterns should help, especially since it seems Deathstorm can pick up the White Lantern.

Aquaman has a nice fight with Black Manta, and those two always mix up well. They really hate each other, and while Aquaman does control himself a bit better than he normally does, it was still satisfying seeing these guys battle.

The art is stronger in the Ivan Reis-drawn Aquaman sections, but Firestorm's portions were fine. I do like seeing a limited number of Black Lanterns, it makes them a lot scarier.
