Some solid, flavorful preamble to Blackest Night, but the book as a whole is held back by some odd filler and Kindle’s continued terrible formatting.The core of Blackest Night: Tales of the Corps is a series of one-off short stories about a member from each of the Lantern Corps. Most of them deal with death and loss (kind of a recurring theme for the Blackest Night event), so I expect at least some of them to have additional payoff in the various Blackest Night books. I would not call any of the...

Yeah, wasn't a fan of this one. The art was definitely not my style, and I just couldn't bring myself to care about most of the stories. We certainly jumped around enough, so you'd think I'd find something in here that would really catch my fancy either art-wise or story-wise, but not really. For the most part I was bored and just trying to push through to the end. The plots for the most parts were predictable and formulaic. I did enjoy Kilowog's story more than the others, because, duh, it's Ki...

I really enjoyed this tie-in to Blackest Night, though it's not nearly as essential as the rest of them. This pretty much tells tales of one member of each Corps and how they ended up where they are now: Kilowog, and how his training made him into who he is (and foreshadows at another event down the road); Bleez of the Red Lanterns, and how she ended up consumed by Rage; Mongul's son and his involvement with the Sinestro Corps, perhaps alluding to problems down the road for the DC Universe; Sain...

Wow! This arc is so good.

The Tales of the Corps mini series was a pretty good anthology series. I enjoyed the variety in it and there was some pretty dark stuff that I didn't expect. The Adventure Comics issues with Superboy-Prime were great though and gave such a nice conclusion to his story. I think it goes as far as his character needed to and no more is needed. These are clearly separated from Blackest Night and feel like a divergent from that but I still liked them quite a bit.

A decent collection of side stories and origin tales, but it still suffers from the need to track down other tie-ins just to make sure nothing was missed. As it is, I don't seem to be able to find out when and how all the various Lantern Corps were actually founded, so I have no idea what is just background and what is referring to previous stories.

this was a really good book. it has a lot of dialog and great graphics. i enjoyed it but it was not my kind of story. it had a lot of action in it also.i gave it a 3 star rateing because it was a good book but not my kind of book. but i did like it. i reccomend this for anybody who like a super hero comic.

This was pretty enjoyable. I liked learning about the different Lantern Corps. I think the best part, even though it was a little slow at first, was Geoff Johns' short story from the first-person perspective of William Hand pre-Black Hand. He was such a weird kid and that was written so well. The only part that really drug on for me was the inclusion of Superboy-Prime and Action Comics at the end. Some of the issues were a little dull, but the Action Comics part was my least favorite part. I rea...

While I am usually not high on publisher "events", I am generally positive about Blackest Night because as I noted in my review of Blackest Night, the story just seemed to be an extended Green Lantern arc, so much so that I felt that it was best read alternately with Green Lantern: Blackest Night . While my prevailing attitude with these publisher events is that they effectively handcuff creative teams (see me bemoan Peter Tomasi's run on Green Lantern Corps for this), the fact is tha...

I am a huge fan on the Tales of the Corps books. It's always great to meet and learn about lesser lanterns. My huge gripe with this book though is the fact ot recycled stories from previous books such as Tales of the Sinestro Corps.

Blackest night tales of the corps, written by Geoff Johns and others. Is a tale how one's torcher, seeking for hope, anger of loss, lust for love, and death. can change even the strongest beings into something spectacular or make them a of evil and hatred. almost all lanterns had a loss that changed them into something good, or something terrible. Bleez is a beautiful angel that suffered a tremendous loss, her mother was killed by a yellow lantern, he keeps her captive for two days as a slave, h...

I'm not going to lie, this was way better than I thought for a tie in.

This was largely an introduction to the different rings, with a few pages into the mind of Black Hand, and an introduction (for me) to Superboy-Prime. Not mad it, but not overly blown away either.

Excellent. I have to admit these Blackest Night stories are a magnificent tie-in to the events of the main story. Though its a bit confusing. I imagine all these stories together would be the size of a textbook. But its still good to read them nevertheless.This collection of the Blackest Night Tales of the Corps takes its involvement in the Blackest Night with tales of some of the major events of every single Corps of the Spectrum. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet and Black Lante...

This is a welcome series of side-stories featuring one member of each of the different corps, all of whom are adjacent to the MC's. I think it provides a bit of excellent depth into the series even if it does nothing to propel it.

This trade can easily be divided into two parts: the actual Tales of the Corps, and a Superboy-Prime story.Tales of the Corps ties in to the Blackest Night storyline, but it obviously isn't essential. It's a series of short stories that serve to explain the different aspects of the emotional spectrum. Like I said, it's not essential to understanding Blackest Night, but it would certainly be helpful for somebody like me who hasn't kept up on Green Lantern and doesn't know a thing about the Orange...

It's a hodgepodge of different things, most of which I liked. The first half includes one story from a specific Lantern in each of the different corps. Some of the characters I was familiar with and some I was not, so it made for interesting reading.

3 because the last story was very funny: the one about Superboy Prime.
