"Blackest Night: Tales of the Corps #2" Reviewed
Mini series such as this can be found coming out of many major story arcs. All you have to do is look at Final Crisis or Batman RIP and and you can see the multitude of tie ins, spin offs and one shots. Blackest Night begins such a large event I never expected for it to be any different. However, with Geoff Johns at the helm, I expected things to be different from the other spin offs we had seen in the past. One-shots done by Johns before, like those from the Sinestro Corps War were absolutely brilliant. The Superboy Prime one shot is my all time favorite comic, so I was really expecting a lot from this miniseries and this issue. Unfortunately, in my opinion, it just doesn't deliver. The short length and multitude of different stories crammed into the issue hampers any attempt made at trying to develop the characters; so that all we get is a superficial history with little to no depth. Still an enjoyable read, I expected much, much more and would not, unless you are a hardcore fan of the war of light with cash to burn, recommend you buy this issue.
1.5 stars out of 5.
