BLACKEST NIGHT EVENT part 04 of 79!
Geoff Johns and Peter J. Tomasi (GREEN LANTERN CORPS) reveal the secrets behind the Lanterns of BLACKEST NIGHT! Bear witness to Blue Lantern Saint Walker's pilgrimage of hope, Star Sapphire Carol Ferris' sacrifice for love, Green Lantern Kilowog's courageous beginnings, Red Lantern Vice's source of rage, Orange Lantern Blume's bizarre creation, and the first appearance of the mysterious Indigo, leader of the Indigo Tribe!
Overall, this mini-series continues to be a worthwhile read that displays some great art and storytelling. It serves as the perfect vehicle for new readers who are just becoming aware of the Emotional Spectrum and their respective Corps, while managing to hold the interest of longtime Green Lantern title readers by introducing them to some of the most interesting members of the various Corps.

Blackest Night: Tales of the Corps still has its problems, but its pleasing to note that issue #2 is already significantly improved over the first. I'm hoping Johns and Tomasi have saved the best tales for last. Read Full Review
With a roster of talent just shy of that appearing in the pages of Wednesday Comics, this issue of "Tales of the Corps" (for some odd reason, with this title, I want to pronounce the "p", I don't have that hurdle to jump elsewhere) provides two entertaining tales and one story that should be immortalized in collected editions to come.

Overall this issue was okay but much like the first issue of this series only one story held any kind of relevance. While interesting on by themselves the two minor stories do not seem to have any importance in the face of Blackest Night. Hopefully these characters will be have some kind of significance in the long run that will make these issues worth while. As of right now I can only recommend buying this issue if you are a hardcore Green Lantern fan. On a positive note it is great to see Geoff Johns and Peter Tomasi work with some of today’s great pencilers. That alone boosts this issue's grade up a point. Read Full Review
While the Saint Walker tale is still the best, this week's offering is a better overall package than last week's. Read Full Review
Better than the first, but still feels a bit too light for a $3.99 comic. Die hard fans will obviously want this and shouldn't be disappointed, but casuals expecting something relevant to the Blackest Night event should probably steer clear. Read Full Review
This issue had some high points, including great art by Gene Ha and a somewhat interesting origin of Bleez. Unfortunately, the issue simply falls flat in the end thanks to the humdrum art and storytelling that is way more about telling than showing, taking away a lot of the power from the delivery of the previous issue.
