I said to myself as the next page was the penciled version of FCBD: Blackest Night #0. Quickly flipping through the white and gray pages I hoped for something more, at least one other story but my hopes were crushed as I reached the end of the issue. This issue was really coasting on an average level until I reached the reprint. With only eighteen pages of story and twelve pages of reprints for $3.99 it is impossible to pass this issue off as a buy unless Arisia or Kilowog is your favorite character. At the very least a common theme ran through both stories. Each character lost someone important to them and each will probably return in the blackest of night. Read Full Review

There aren't a lot of redeeming qualities with Tales of the Corps #3; but since it's the 3 out of 3, you may as well get it. Read it once, slip it back in the bag and board, and marvel at it for a couple of seconds when you connect all three covers. Then pray that Blackest Night #2 comes out already. Read Full Review
