Blackest Night: Black Lantern Corps, Vol. 2 by Geoff Johns
5.0
Tangential tales...that I would have been sad to have missed.
I know that some were less than impressed With the Flash/Rogues story arc...but, I enjoyed it. It was kind of fun having some old-school comic art via Scott Kolins. Also, since the main Blackest Night storyline...I've been converted to Flash-fandom.
I was particularly impressed with this scene: Geoff Johns juxtaposed Flash and Captain Cold - each reaching their own personal solid determination to continue the battle against the black lanterns, regardless of their past difficulties. One a villain. One a superhero. Completely different journeys...and yet, the came to the same place.
Kid Flash: "I'm a little scared to be honest."
Flash: "it's okay to be rattled...We've been fighting this all wrong...Tossing aside emotion like the guardians. Hiding what we feel. We reap what we sow. No matter what life throws at you --
Captain Cold: "or what way the road turns --
Flash: "You've got to put one foot in front of the other --
Cold: "and keep moving forward --
Flash: "with an open heart."
And, the Wonder Woman story arc? I only have two words: Greg Rucka. Nicola Scott's art? So so good. Greg Rucka with Wonder Woman...so so good.
WW: "I'm not afraid of the dark...Love is light...In darkness, love must survive."
