Blackest Night #1

The issues been posted to death but we can technically still post 2 1/3 pages more from what I can tell... so a nice two page splash from the issue.

So...who's died since Barry left and came back? Ummmm....

Wow. A lot of dead people. It's amazing looking through them all. Damn. A few that pique my interest in particular are: Harbinger who was killed by Loebsday, Pariah who's actually alive now, unless we ignore Supergirl's current run, Jean Paul Valley!, Ted Kord and Dan Garrett of course, Aztek, Hector Hall (who's body should be in another dimension) and what appears to be the first Black Canary?

Also can anyone identify the guy in the upper left who has a spider motif on himself and seems to be holdingh a gun?

Didn't he (supposedly) die again at the end of BftC? Or has he cropped back up already? Or are we just tacitly acknowledging "no corpse = no death"?

'No corpse (and really lame apparent death*) == no death'

* A dozen or so foot fall into water is nothing in the context of superhero comics - Hush did the same thing (after being strangled) and came back within months...Joker's done it at least once. It's especially 'nothing' when they make the fall willingly.
