How the hell am I supposed to know the chronological order of this damn event that everyone talked about for a few years?! They have like 5 other HC/TPB's associated, but they all seem to jump back and forth. Like you have to read 25% of Blackest Night GL Corps, then jump to Blackest Night BL Corps just to fill in the blanks and then go to the main Blackest Night book to get to the next part of the story...UUUUUGGGGGGHHHH.

That has pissed me off to no end. Maybe it wasn't that difficult to follow for single issue collectors, but I only read the HC and TPB because I tend to like to read it all at once rather than incrementally. lol, ok end rant.

I absolutely agree, and definately sympathize. I understand their desire to make everything in nice, neat volumes (Because once you know the story, continuity progression isn't as important when you want to read one section). But it would have been nicer if everything was sequenced in chronological order (Save for the Tales of the Corps, which stand beautifully on their own, and some of the tie in side stories, which don't effect the main plot, like Teen Titans).
DC trades are usually pretty good about making sure everything is in order, too.
