Comic Review Blackest Night no. 7

OK, it's been a long time since this one was out, but since Blackest Night 8 is out next week I figured out I can go ahead and give out the spoilers freely.

Blackest Night no. 7
February Release
Writer Geoff Johns
Pencilwork Ivan Reis
Inkers Oclair Albert & Joe Prado
It is almost the end of Blackest Night (prepare for Brightest Day) and thing just keep getting better and better!
First, the Coverpage, great one (as most of the BN series), you get to see all the human lanterns chosen at the end of Blackest Night 6 algonside Hal Jordan. Great art! Here is a look at the previous version of the Cover found in Sinclair´s deviantArt page
This comic has a lot going on. You get to see all the colored lanterns use their powers which gives us some really good rainbow colored pages with characters we have known for a very long time. Scarecrow actually gets his 5 minutes of glory before Luthor gets all "My preciuous" and wants all the rings for himself, courtesy of that orange ring of he is now wearing.
So apart from having all of the black lanterns, Black Hand and Nekron, now the good guys also have to fight Luthor who by now has an Orange ring, a Yellow ring and is wanting to rip Mera's Red ring off. At the same moment we see the death of a Guardian by Black Hand who uses his oddly brightly colored insides to summon The Trespasser, the Light Entitiy.
Seems that like all entities, the Trespasser is unable to attack. The trick with this one is that it is linked to all lanterns of all colors and so Nekron damages the entity and all the lanterns feel it.
So then again our heroes figure it out really fast (like the whole Parrallax can defeat the Spectre stuff) and Hal wants to be the entitiy's host. But he gets stopped:
And then for the last page we get something that made me feel akward, Siniestro as the Light Entity's host. So this will be Siniestro The Trespasser.
