Last but not least is Wonder Woman and her story is really only 1 issue before the outbreak and then 2 during the event. Art: Overall, pretty solid. Especially the shift of the JLA themes, looked dark but well done. I also enjoyed the violence as this event feels like a major zombie outbreak. I also liked the Rogue stuff a lot, both sad, and well done. Flash family was solid too. What didn't work: Wonder Woman story is okay at best. To easy to guess what will happen. Also, some of the JLA story was boring. Overall, a pretty solid contributing chapter to a fun event. Volume 1 was better but this is a 3 out of 5. Dec 30, Bradley rated it it was amazing Shelves: fantasygraphic-novelsshelfsci-fi. I have to admit, I'm really liking the storyline now. This kinda kicks the whole Marvel Zombies in Blackest Night: Black Lantern Corps Vol. 1 ass. There's some real stories going on and it really warms the cockles. It's Flash all the way, baby. Feb 28, Sesana rated it liked it Shelves: comicssuperhumans. I'll get JSA out of the way: didn't care for it. This is probably because I had little to no background in these characters and the team in general, at least in Blackest Night: Black Lantern Corps Vol. 1. On the other hand, I really enjoyed the Flash storyline, even though I'm on shaky ground there when it comes to backstory. Maybe it's because the Rogues, at least Captain Cold and Weather Wizard, are getting interesting to me, and the writing did a good job of juxtaposing Flash and Captain Cold. The Wonder Woman story was, of course, my favorite, even though the storyline was much more fragmented. This was probably out of necessity: Wonder Woman ended up playing a fairly prominent role in the main Blackest Night story, so Rucka ended up writing her scenes scattered throughout instead of one storyline, like the Flash and JSA books. But I really enjoy his take on Wonder Woman, so I still really liked it. As a whole, this collection rates 3. Apr 16, Stephen rated it really liked it Shelves: graphic-novels-and-comicszombies. I will repeat some of what I have said before. Blackest Night is possibly the best crossover event in comics at the very least it is the best I have read so far. So, Blackest Night: Black Lantern Corps Vol. 1 book does continues the more personal, Earth-bound perspective of the epic space war going on as part of the Blackest Night. Like the previous volume, it gets very personal and deeply emotional. This volume includes some of the best battles in the non-space centered collections in Blackest Night. There are lots of crazy surprises. In short, this is brilliant comic writing. May 13, Shannon Appelcline rated it liked it Shelves: comicscomics-dc. The JSA story offers nice reminders of the team's origins and the Jesse Quick plotline is even quite touching, but beyond that there's the usual zombie fighting and a one-time deus ex machina [6. Better than its predecessor, but still mediocre. Jan 21, Nico rated it liked it Shelves: green-lanternscomics-and-graphic-novels. I liked some parts, I was bored through Blackest Night: Black Lantern Corps Vol. 1 parts. Quite a few parts. I admit I had to do some searching on some new faces for me and for some I had forgotten the details of. In general I just didn't get into this volume like I have through other collections from this event. There was very little adrenaline, I didn't have my emotions ripped out in the same way This probably had something to with the fact that I haven't read much of Flash on his own and that I'm rather ambivalent about Meh. This probably had something to with the fact that I haven't read much of Flash on his own and that I'm rather ambivalent about Wonder Woman as a character in general sorry Sarah so the foundation and love for the characters wasn't cemented in the same way it was when I read the Bats or Teen Titans story arcs. Also I didn't give a single shit about The Rogues. They could've left out that entire plot line and I probably would've been happier.
