Has it really been 25 issues since The Sinestro Corps War finished and Blackest Night was teased?  Time flies when you’re having fun
After John’s misadventures on Xanshi last issue, its straight back into the main action of Blackest Night here, with Hal and the rest of the New Guardians (as the group of [...]

Since the two are closely linked, I’ll start by covering Green Lantern #48 which finishes filling in the story of how the Corps leaders get together, as Atrocitus and Larfleeze are saved from the Black Lanterns on Okaraa by the timely arrival of Hal, Sinestro, Carol, Indigo-1 and Saint Walker (with Ganthet and Sayd along [...]

Alongside Blackest Night #4, it was a big week last week for Blackest Night with the final part of the Titans mini-series as well as the latest parts of the War of Light as Hal and co contend with the Black Lanterns on Korugar.
The highlight of Green Lantern #47 was undoubtedly the War of Light [...]

Slightly late with the comics run this week, but nice to have both Green Lantern and Blackest Night: Titans to pick up.
Green Lantern this month follows on directly from the events of Blackest Night #3.  The War of Light gets temporarily shunted to the side as we deal with what happens to Hal after Indigo-1 [...]

Continuing on from the events of last month, the Blackest Night has erupted across Oa, with the Lanterns in the Crypts being raised as Black Lanterns, and Black Lantern Jade having arrived to target Kyle.
This was a brilliant issue.  Possibly my favourite Blackest Night issue so far.   Unlike a lot of the other issues [...]

Green Lantern #45 is a heckuva busy issue.  With last month’s Green Lantern #44 Geoff Johns was busy kick-starting Blackest Night by focusing on the Hal/Barry fight with the Black Lantern J’onn.   With Blackest Night now in full swing, he turns his attention back to the war of light, revisiting the various plot threads [...]

The previews for this week’s Green Lantern #45 and Blackest Night: Titans #1 have hit the web at IGN as usual.
The Green Lantern preview in particular contains some very interesting stuff.  The reveal of Xanshi (following on from the cliffhanger in GL #44) is huge.   Is the whole world a Black Lantern equivalent to [...]

This issue brings to a close Emerald Eclipse, and leads us straight into the events of Blackest Night (again, I’m left wonder when exactly Final Crisis happened in the current GL timeline).
As seen in the preview, the issue is largely interested in the fallout from the riot on Oa.  This probably leads to the main [...]

IGN has put up the solicits for September’s Blackest Night titles.
Interestingly the cover shown for Blackest Night #3 is the Firestorm-focused variant cover.  So it’ll be interesting to see what’s on the Ivan Reis main cover, but I’m guessing its considered spoilery (the main villain?).
Its also interesting that the Superman tie-in doesn’t mention the Earth-2 [...]

IGN have once again come up with the goods in the shape of the preview to the new issue of Green Lantern Corps.
It looks cracking, again focusing on the events of last issue and Sodam Yat kick-starting Daxam’s sun.   There’s an interesting parallel being made to Sodam Yat supposedly sacrificing himself, and Hal’s death [...]
