On my quest to read all things Blackest Night related, I recently finished Blackest Night: Black Lantern Corps Vol 1. This isn't really a book as it is a compilation of three points of view of DC characters. Blackest Night was a DC wide event that primarily was a Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps centric story, but crossed over into other DC characters story lines as well. This book includes Batman's three issues, Superman's three issues, and Teen Titans' three issues. I am familiar with Batman and Superman, but I didn't know who the Titans were. All in all this book was ok. Since I haven't read any Batman, Superman, or Teen Titans to know what is going on in their story lines, or even who the characters where, I was not very vested. Though seeing the Teen Titans and how Dove figures out that she has the power to stop the Black Lanterns was very cool. Unless you really, really love the Blackest Night story and can't get enough, I'd save the money and skip this one. Other then the Dove story arch, there was really nothing in this book that enhanced the Blackest Night story any more then what I have already read.
