Blackest Night: Tales of the Corps #[nn]
"New Blood" delivers a haunting, character-driven moment in the Blackest Night saga, spotlighting Superboy-Prime as he confronts the weight of his fate—both as a villain and a man shaped by the very creators who brought him to life. Written by Geoff Johns and Sterling Gates, with Jerry Ordway’s expressive art and Bob Wiacek’s sharp inks, the story unfolds in a chillingly intimate setting: Prime’s basement, where past regrets and a flicker of hope collide. The cover by Dave Gibbons and Rodolfo Migliari captures the tension with a stark, unforgettable image.
