Just out of curiosity, why didn’t you pick up Blackest Night?
I’m just not interested in the story.
After Infinite Crisis and Countdown, I made a decision that I’d only pick up big event books if I was actually interested in them. I made an exception for Legion of Three Worlds and Bart’s massively-hinted-at return, but that was it.
I mean, I don’t have time to read (or space to store) all the comics that I am interested in. Why clutter things up with books that I don’t care about?
