Synopsis : Soranik and Iolande have a huge Battle with the Black Lanterns in The Hospital, Soranik says that the Dead are rising too fast, The Dead Lanterns rise and attack them and Power Levels are 85,26%. More black rings come in and more risings.
Guy and Ke'haan continue their battle as Guy tries to get the horn off his leg. He blasts him twice and leaves to help his friends as Ke'haan begins to regenerate........
Soranika and Iolande aren't able to do much to The Black lanterns and in desperation send the weak and injured to Mogo (who is also receiving rings of the deceased GL's). They decide to take them till the sector when they suddenly see Kyle's battle with Jade. Iolande forces Soranik to assist as she continues her journey. Soranik and Kyle blast Jade and emote Love, Will and Rage as Jade taunts them and their love. Jade tries to tell Soranik that to love Kyle is to die in a box. Soranik gets her big moment and punches Jade in the face Bad !
Arisia and her family have an epic battle and crash into the Oan buildings. Arisia blasts them with Constructs of her family and "destroys" The Black, she says that she wont be sucked into The Black holes sent by someone to suck them in....... She flies away saying she will always uphold the family name as the rings are left motionless (probably to regenerate).
Kilowog's trying to rally the troops who seem to be falling miserably to The Black, suddenly his predecessor, Ermey comes in and they have a very cool fight which ends with Kilowog beating him and destroying his heart only for Ermey to say he is going to Take Kilowog's heart, Uh-Oh !
Lantern Isarot along with others hold fort and are surprised by the arrival of "Kryb's children" who are now Black Lanterns , Oh No ! They say they are hungry and make their way only to be stopped by Munk (Indigo-2) who says that its time for The Black Lanterns to feel some pain !
Review : This was an average issue, lots of action which was well done. Plot progression was a minimal until the last few pages (we already saw that coming after reading Green Lantern 46 right ?). I'm having apprehensions about this Battle on Oa which is seeming to be a super-massive decompressed arc which could have been done in 4 Issues. Hopefully and I'm sure Pete Tomasi can prove me wrong. I'm enjoying his characterizations and everything. Just wish there was more story, feels kinda light you know. Patrick Gleason is good here, his work is growing on me and not like a weed does, in a good way. I would also like to see more of complete battles, they seem to all stop half way, probably so that Munk and The gang can kick arse. No Problem. I'm still waiting on this series.
Story : 8.4
Art : 8.0
Next In Blackest Night: We stop over at a little place called Smallville where Supermen will collide as The Blackest Night comes. Kal-l vs Superman and Superboy. Lois Lane vs Martha Kent and Krypto. Yeah, its all going to hell.
