"Blackest Night: Green Lantern Corps" #39

Babs reviews the latest tie in issue to the "Blackest Night" story arc!

  I'll admit that for the most part I had not been extremely excited over writer Peter Tomasi's tie in issues to the "Blackest Night" series, but this issue definitely changed my mind. If you have been following Geoff Johns' run, then you will definitely love all the questions that are answered in this issue.

I liked this issue too. It was interesting what Kyle said about what he saw in the Star Sapphire. Really changes things up with his relationship in the reader's eyes.

Maybe Oa they are screening Hal's calls. That's just one of the signs that they just aren't that into you anymore. Move on Hal. There are more rings in the universe. We're learning that fast.
 
It's always nice to have casual conversations in comics. It seems rather weird when the only things said are narrative based.

 Good review. I also gave this a 3.5. It didn't blow me away but I thought it served as a good B-side to the events on Earth so far. Excited to see what happens next.

i liked this issue, but i didn't LOVE it.  Guy Gardner is one of my favorite characters in Comics, and DEFINATELY my favorite Green Lantern (Kilawog is #2!). 
 i've always loved that Guy was described as being "so full of willpower, that his ring was sparking" and in MOST (action-oriented) pictures of him, he IS drawn with his ring sparking...so why is is that when the Black Lanterns are looking at them, Guy is NOT shown as Green, like the others? 
 
i know it's a small detail in the eyes of most, but that small detail really kept me from TRULY enjoying this issue.

that two page spread where kyle and company get into the tomb and find out what had happened was pretty amazing.  
  
some of those characters i dont think we've seen in years. 
 
that scene could use one of those numbered/names identification lists in the back of the book.

Great issue I look forward to Daxam getting curb stomped ,and I have strange feeling that feeling that Guy may not survive this crossover.

I've been reading GLC for almost a year, and i think is one of the best titles on DC
The only problem is they get to tell the story of so many characters, and corps, that sometimes u get the feeling that each issue is too short
I just got one question, why is Jade's body on Oa, wasn't she on Valhala back on Metropolis?

I definately enjoyed this issue. I personally love Tomasi as a writer, he's been doing an excellent job w/ this series (though i'm sry u haven't really been enjoying it as much as me Babs). This was another strong Issue from Tomasi and Gleason, I love how Tomasi has been dealing with the Lantern's as charachter's ovr his time on the book and how almost every issue has touched or strengthened or payed off on at least one of his plot points. I like how Kyle and Guy interact, that Tomasi did touch on the situation between Guy and Ice, and also the Star Saphire reveal about Jade. Also as a side note, gotta agree w/ Joe, can't wait for Daxam to get what's coming to them (or to find out what Tomasi meant about Sodam in his last interview) Either way, i can't wait tilll the next piece of Blackest Night.

Guy's the best...I also loved how laid back he was.I thought that image of them getting pelted by the black rings looked funny especially Soranik.Aside from that I loved the issue and continue to love Blackest Night.Aren't the black rings coming from the power battery in sector 666?and maybe Bruce's skull?

I noticed the question Babs asked about where the rings are coming from.  I would guess they have been forged in the Black Lantern Battery that first appeared in DC Universe #0.  Either that or from the dead planet that has just risen.  I don't have anything in front of me right now so I don't know the name for sure.
 
Peter Tomasi is a very impressive writer.  Gleason's Kilawog is awesome.  GLC is an "A.D.D. book", and by that I mean that there's more than one or two characters that are involved in the story.  It's a really big team book.  He has written the Corps extremely well, and the fact you can go back and forth from the Batman U to the GL U is a pretty tough task.  Much respect.

Ah, I really enjoye this issue.  I feel as though the Green Lantern monthly might get more attention, but for me over the past couple of months "Corps" has been a more consistent  title.
 
P.S.  Babs, I like your couch!  HA.

Here's a thought... you guys think that at the end of Blackest Night... we'll see the birth of the final Lantern Corp?
 
White Lanterns... ?!?!?! Anyone?

I just got the issue this week.  Yay, for DC letting their subscribers be the last ones...ggrrr.  Anyway, is it just me or does it look like Guy has the Star Sapphire symbol in his eyes when the "Unknown Power Rings" are approaching.  Maybe it's the artist's attempt at putting detail in the iris but then again, no one else has their eyes done like that throughout the issue.  So, despite Guy being full of rage, perhaps he'll be the one man to pull on some violet tights?  hehe ;)
