Green Lantern Corps, Vol. 6: Blackest Night (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
This Blackest Night book details the Green Lantern corps for everyone EXCEPT Hal Jordan. (I think he's in there in some places). I read this one first and that was kind of a mistake since I didn't know what was going on for some time, and it seems like the middle of the book is just one long fight scene after another that I didn't understand. After reading the other two Blackest Night books, I went back and looked at this one and it make a little more sense. Still, Wikipedia is going to be your best friend if you don't have super-human encyclopedic knowledge of all DC heroes that ever existed. Compelling read, just don't start with this one. 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.
What do You think about Green Lantern Corps, Vol. 6: Blackest Night (2010)?
I very much enjoyed this book, but I am a giant DC and Blackest Night fanboy.
