    Here comes another Blackest Night tie-in.  Did you read it yet?  Think about the Teen Titans.  There's been so many characters that have died over the years.  It's almost like, why would you want to join their team?  While this issue mainly focuses on the current Hawk & Dove, we also see some continuation from Blackest Night #2.  Remember the scene with Hank and Don Hall?  What will this mean for the current Hawk & Dove?  And what about that cover?  We know Terra's dead.  Hmmm...
     

      
    You can say that this issue delivered the goods.  There almost seemed to be too much going on.  J.T. Krul does a nice job writing all the different characters and bringing them to life.  Ed Benes' art is amazing.  The art and color on the cover almost jump out at you.  Maybe part of it is the glossier/thicker cover DC used (and still only charged $2.99).  I am definitely looking forward to issue #2.

    So Dove could be a White Lantern and Beast Boy is a Necrophilia ?

    I'm really glad this issue looks to be good.  I'm a big DC fan but the one book I haven't been able to get into is Titans.  I still read Teen Titans even though that's started to grate on me a bit as well.  This mini looks like it worth picking up though if for no other reason that I get to see Bart.  For whatever reason I've always dug Impulse.

    this book was great and Ed Benes' art just made it even better....I can't wait for more Blackest Night tie-in's and more Ed Benes art
     
    also one thing to remember is that the Dove's are the embodiements of Peace so that may have a lot to do with why Don wouldn't rise and why BL Hawk couldn't read Dove

    Dove having a white aura adds validity to my theory on the coming of the White Lanterns! 
     
    I know I'm not the only one who's thought of this possibility...

    I really liked this issue. 
    The ending was crazy.
    Also, I loved the fact that the BL couldn't read Dove.  Very cool.

    Of course in reality she wouldn't have a tongue because it would have rotted or been eaten by insects early on.

    I wish they will stop at this tie in. I can't keep up with all these blackest night comics.
    I have to get all the blackest night because it is the best mini series i have ever read.

    thats interesting im guessing both dove's have this immunity to the black lantern power which means the previous dove can't be risen while the current dove cannot be indentified by her emotion. 
     
    im hoping to see powerboy not that i like him

    I think the same reason Don wasn't resurrected is the same reason why Hank didn't see an emotion in the new Dove. Maybe the reason he wasn't brought back was because he didn't feel the emotions in the color spectrum. There are other emotions than just the lantern ones and maybe being a Dove predetermines you to which ever one that its selflessness or generosity who knows but I think it is liked to the way the BLs will be defeated.

    I thought the Lantern corpse was like ... made up of the colours of the rainbow? White isn't a colour, so it will be silly for their to be a White Lantern corpse.
     
    Anyways,  
    Anybody want to mail me some spoilers? ;)

    I KNEW IT!!!! Thats how it has to end. White Lanterns........it makes sense. Hal Jordan has already had at least a little time with each lantern color other than Indigo and Violet. Just add those two and Hal becomes the first White lantern that can purge the Black lanterns' infection..........but just a theory for right now.

    Exactly,  Black Lantern Corpse was a big enough mistake as it is.  So they shouldn't make more dumb ones which are completely out of context like White Lantern Corpse, lol.

    can we please not jump to conclusions were not even half way to the end of the blackest night
     
    whats clear hear is that i can assume that there are other like Dove who's emotion can't be read by a black lantern giving him/her an advantage

    Well what I mean is I'm pleased with the storyline of the Black Lanterns. But, they made the whole concept of the Lanterns being the colours of the Rainbow and Emotion. Yet, they distrupt the whole concept by Adding Black Lanterns, which aren't a colour of the rainbow and their emotion is 'death'  which isn't an emotion.

    death is outside the spectrum and black is a combo of colors

    FINALLY!  A Hawk and Dove writer that actually READ Hawk and Dove!  Its been so long since anyone has gotten Dove's powers right and so since I've gotten to read Hank Hall talking like Hank Hall (First Rule: Don't Mess with Hawk).  Plus its nice to get rid of...that one thing that's been bugging me about Hawk and Dove comics lately.
     
    Too bad Krul didn't read a single Titans story during the 90s.  Tara Markov is long gone.  Gar fought alongside Terra II for three times as long and nobody seems to notice she's dead.  The entire "Beast Boy is still in love with Terra" plot point is absurd.  He wasn't even in love with her in fhe first place.

    Because Death is not an emotion, it is an event in someones life. You can't 'feel' Death. But you can feel  'will'  'love' and the others that the Lanterns represent.
     
    Also, Black is a result of no colour, as it is Hueless.

    Which is a freaking disease that many Titans writers seem to have contracted. 
     
    Even sixth graders are taught not to watch the movie of the book.  It isn't the same.

    @cascadeking09:  Well, she appeared to him in her normal form at the start.  And I guess the sight of seeing his true love would be too much for him and so he probably didn't realise she turned into a skanky, skin-melting corpse.

    If by love you meant "Hanging out for a few months and kissing one time when she didn't mean it" and by differences you mean "she tried to kill me and all my friends" then sure, I agree.
