Blackest Night: Tales of the Corps #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 2011 collection from DC gathers the three-issue miniseries that served as a prelude to the Blackest Night event, focusing on the emotional spectrum and the various Lantern Corps. It includes origin stories for key characters like Saint Walker, Larfleeze, and Indigo-1, as well as a tale of the first Black Lantern. The volume also reprints the Blackest Night #0 issue and the DC Universe #0 story that set the stage for the larger crossover.
In "Tales of the Green Lantern Corps: New Blood," Geoff Johns and Sterling Gates deliver a standout chapter in the Blackest Night saga, spotlighting the Green Lantern Corps with a story that blends cosmic stakes and personal reckoning. Jerry Ordway’s dynamic art, bolstered by Bob Wiacek’s inks and Brian Buccellato’s vivid colors, brings the emotional weight of a lone hero confronting his past, while Dave Gibbons and Rodolfo Migliari’s cover captures the tension with sharp, haunting detail.
In "He Primed Me, Part One: Spoiler Alert," Superboy-Prime, desperate to learn his fate in Adventure Comics #5, dives into the internet at a comic book store—only to be ambushed by Black Lantern Alexander Luthor and a horde of Black Lanterns wearing the faces of those Superboy-Prime once killed.
In "He Primed Me, Part Two: Flame War," Superboy-Prime confronts the futility of his fate, lashing out at the very creators who shaped his existence—only to be dragged into his own basement by Black Lantern Alexander Luthor, where the battle with the Corps takes a darker, more personal turn. As a Black Lantern ring rejects him with a blinding explosion, Superboy-Prime is left alone with memories of Laurie, until she arrives to remind him that things might finally be different.
