Wow, I can't believe I finally made it to the end of this humungous story arc. I read it piecemeal by suggested reading order, so it took forever to end this one volume. Same goes for a few other volumes.What a ride. The Corps have the big action and the big sweeping stories tied down. Galactic, world-breaking stories. I could stare at some of that complicated art for along time, especially the really huge battles on Oa, Mogo, even the near eradication of all life on earth. It's pretty damn epic...

Of the stories in the Blackest Night this is probably my favorite one. I Have always been more of a fan of the other Green Lantern's that aren't Hal Jordan and this centers around those. Tomasi does a great job of weaving his plot threads from previous books into the dialogue of this one which is great for the world building and characterizations of lesser GLs

While the Black Lantern Corps was sacking Earth, what was going on back on Oa, and how were the Green Lantern Corps at large dealing with it? As it turns out, I didn't much care. No, it wasn't bad, just... lackluster. Especially compared with some of the strong writing this event brought out. The best issue in the lot was probably the post-disaster issue, showing the devastated planet and dealing with some Lantern politics that would probably mean a lot more to somebody who'd been keeping up wit...

this was a great book I have read a few of the green lantern book and that were really good this one was graphic but not as much. I liked it because it was a great read and kept my attention throughout the whole book I gave this book a 3 star rating because it was good but I am not really interested in these book but I enjoyed it a lot it is like the other books there is 3 story's in it and the stories are all very colorful and I liked it a lot.

Not into it as GL, but it gave me more appreciation for the rest of the GLC. The storylines and characters were worth it considering I came into it not caring for any of them and expecting this to be a chore.

The last volume I had to read in the Blackest Night Event. I'll admit I've put it off because this has become my favourite Event in DC Comics thus far. I'm glad it ended on a high note.My favourite parts were easily the middle. Look, I love the relationship between Kyle and Guy, so those issues where Guy went Red Lantern was basically Nico-specific fan-service and I loved it all. That hug though - we all want hugs like that (specifically from Guy in my case, the man's an enormous angry and sarca...

Of the three central books of the Blackest Night event (this, BN, and BN:Green Lantern), this is the weakest and least vital, emphasising action over drama. But my personal investment in these characters and some great ass-kicking scenes kept me well entertained nonetheless.Being a Green Lantern is a dangerous job, one that almost certainly ends in death. The Corps has buried many of their own, and now their buried are coming back to drag the survivors down with them.The heart of the book is the...

THIS is what an ensemble event book should read like!Wow this book is dense, there are so many character and so many things going on at once, but not once did I feel lost or that what I was reading meant nothing, this is a testament to the creative teams wonderful pacing and writing. Like Green Lantern this entire book is dedicated to the 'Blackest Night' event and it told in the point of view of the GL Corps members and it's fantastic.World: The art is wonderful. I've said it so many times so I...

This trade works better when read alongside the main Blackest Night event, so make sure you have that trade at hand too.That aside, Tomasi ties up all loose ends to the final part of his GLC run. Every (main) GLC member gets a complete and satisfying character arc, especially Kyle Rayner. From a personal perspective, I was afraid he'd gotten shunted to the side after Hal Jordan came back as the main GL. But Kyle still grew as a character here, alongside his fellow corpsmen, who all got their res...

It was good. There are several Blackest Night TPs and this is the 3rd one. I think i will stop here because i hear you don't have to read all of them and the first 3 are the relevant ones. So I think the rest is not important unless you really like the series and want to continue. If anyone is wondering how the Blackest Night TPs connect, I suspect they all happen at the same time, but in different places. Like this one happens on Oa, and is about the GL Corps defending the central power battery...

3.5 stars. Not the best in the Blackest Night arc (my opinion, of course). Could be that I'm just burned out on Blackest Night, but this one seemed a little on the cheesy side.

I'm not a regular comic book reader, however I do read sometimes. I was disappointed in this collection. It has far too much action to effectively communicate the situation in the different areas. The illustrations seem to make things even more confusing.

What doesn't work here are the members of the Indigo Tribe, Mogo (once a fun supporting character now seemingly a deus ex machina piece), Miri, and the screwing with Guy Gardenr's character (why make him a ticking time bomb?). What does work are the efforts to add some character depth (note I say some) to Corps members Salaak, and the feuding (they are such a slash couple) partners Isamot and Vath. Also points for trying to poke good natured fun at women in refrigerators.

When I recently reviewed the DC "event" book Blackest Night and the corresponding Green Lantern: Blackest Night collection, I argued that both collections were pretty much essential to understand the whole Blackest Night narrative, since the "event" had its origins in Geoff Johns' run on Green Lantern and had really started to pick up steam with The Sinestro Corps War . Since there are many more Green Lanterns than just Hal Jordan, of course any story line that involves Green Lantern (and...

The weakest part of “Blackest Night” event. I bought this in its single comic book issues, but I’ve chosen this TPB edition to be able of making a better overall review.This TPB edition contains “Green Lantern Corps” #39-46. Featuring a part of the “Blackest Night” event.Creative Team:Writer: Peter J. TomasiIllustrator: Patrick Gleason SO MUCH SHOOTING, SO LITTLE DRAMA Well, it was a disappointing that while the main event of Blackest Night and the tie-in featured in Green Lantern were quit

I absolutely love the team of Peter J. Tomasi and Patrick Gleason. They work so well together. Not only on Green Lantern Corps, but they're also killing it on Batman and Robin right now.What I love about the Green Lantern Corps comic, even outside the Blackest Night event, is that it doesn't always focus on Guy, John, or Kyle; it'll have side-stories about Isamot Kol and Vath Sarn, or Iolande and Soranik Natu, or whoever. I really loved the ending part with Isamot and Vath.As with the other BN t...

Read collected, Blackest Night Green Lantern Corps may be the strongest tie-in volume to the DCU's undead event. It tells a linear story that is easy to follow, no matter what your previous knowledge is. Patrick Gleason, who is often overshadowed by his more prominent fellow artists on the GL titles turns in some of his strongest work here. His detailed splash pages are a joy to comb through, and nearly all his sketches feature creepy background images that suit this story well. Pete Tomasi cont...

This is a decent tie in to an incredible series. It’s not necessary to enjoy Blackest Night, but it does fill in the background of what’s going on in that series well.

Though it does not have the widescreen appeal of the main Green Lantern comic, this one really goes to the heart of the characters, helping it rise up to the next level.

The Green Latern Corps is about to be infected with the Black Rings and shit is about to go down. Like it's big brother series, the main Green Lantern series, the black rings are on the loose. Traveling the galaxy bringing back the dead to fuck with the living. Kyle, Guy, and the rest of the Green Lanterns now have to face the dead which consist of their friends, lovers, and family. If that's not bad enough someone in the crew goes Red and becomes a angry little beast. This action packed volume
