Sometimes, the test of a good comic book is the ability to leverage previous characters, villains, and stories in a way that maintains the mythology of book and universe. While I haven't read the story, everything about choosing Nekron (see Wikipedia) as the main villain in Blackest Night fits perfectly. DC didn't create something new - they built upon what they had. This is going to be a fun ride.
A series worth reading, a trade worth keeping the in the library. This series keeps getting better and better.
Will Sinestro return as a Green Lantern? I don't have enough GL History knowledge to know, but in some ways, it would make sense - the way that this book is headed.

I haven't been reading Blackest Night (Maybe I can get caught up when I'm visiting in a couple of weeks), but unless they totally pull a Parallax made me do it, Sinestro's crimes are so vile that he cannot be forgiven. He's destroyed planets for fun. It would be as if Darth Vader came over to the light and was given a seat of honor on the Jedi council after killing Luke at the end of Empire Strikes Back.
But that's me.
