On and off I have been reading my way through the Blackest Night/Brightest Day series, and of the parts I have read, this is definitely one of the better ones.

Short pieces covering the origins of members of the different colored ring corps, this book does a good job of making the characters seem real and making them feel more fleshed out than is often the case in the other entries in the series.

If you're completely unfamiliar with the Green Lantern/DCU mythos, and intend to read The Blackest night event, this collection of origin stories is a perfectly fine place to start. If not, this is just a collection of short stories connected to the various corps. None of them are terrible. None of them are great. None of them are really necessary for understanding the event. And if you've read the Geoff Johns Green Lantern series that lead up to this, it's a bit of a disappointment.

It's completely skippable if you've ever read the main Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps series.

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.

Not much here. I hated the odd Superboy-Prime story. I did enjoy Saint Walkers background story though.
