Newsarama has a preview of the first series of DCD’s Blackest Night figures, due at your local comic book stores next Wednesday. Although I’ve only cherry-picked DCD in the past, I may be picking up all of these. I’m a sucker for Green Lantern stuff, and while my primary collection is DC Universe Classics, it helps that these are all aliens, making scale differences forgivable.
DCD Blackest Night Series 1 – Atrocitus
DCD Blackest Night Series 1 – Boodikka
DCD Blackest Night Series 1 – Boodikka – alternate face
DCD Blackest Night Series 1 – Earth 2 Superman
I really think that this is going to be a big winner for DC Direct. There’s obvious visual appeal, there’s the popularity of the current story, and there’s the fact that it digs deep in support of the universe. Newer characters abound, and Arisia gets represented in the third assortment. If you’re into DC Direct overall, you’re going to want these. If you’re really into Blackest Night, you’ll probably want these. Things may be dark in the DCU, but it looks pretty bright for DCD in the near term.
