It's an oversized BLACKEST NIGHT tie-in issue as the Black Lanterns fight the Sinestro Corps with the R.E.B.E.L.S. caught in the middle! While super-jerk Vril Dox and his team of renegades plot to stop Starro the Conqueror's rampage, they're forced to confront this major battle raging in space! Dox is in trouble, too, because these particular Black Lanterns wanted to kill him when they were alive!
But I am going to reiterate my opening statement. All I can say is ... WOW! Read Full Review
Let's be honest here...the only reason this issue/title is getting the attention is because buyers get a plastic promo power ring when the purchase it. It's a great promotion DC has going; take some lesser known books, tie them in to their huge Blackest Night event and bait people in with cool swag to check it out. Well the rings have been cool, but the issues haven't. With "stories" that consist of long winded bios on what the book is about, DC isn't fooling anybody by loosely throwing in a Black Lantern to say that it crosses over. For the most part, these are 3rd tier books with 3rd tier characters and it's probably not going to add any new readers to the fold for Booster Gold or the Doom Patrol. Please believe me when I say that this does NOT apply to R.E.B.E.L.S.! This creative team has taken the opportunity of so many new readers for a moment and they've ran like hell with it! Comparatively speaking, it handles itself way better than a few other "high profile" Read Full Review
Not a classic, but not bad at all. Read Full Review
R.E.B.E.L.S. continues to be one of my favorite books, one that I desperately wish was available digitally more than the Blackest Night arc, and the use of this tie-in provides for a really fun connection. Read Full Review
I've got to hand it to DC, this ring promotion of theirs is a complete success. Want to know how I know this? Because I've resolved to go back and buy the last nine issues of R.E.B.E.L.S., and after I've done that, I'm going to begin collecting this comic on a regular basis. Read Full Review
Tony Bedard does his absolute best to make this accessible and enjoyable for new readers, but in the end its clear that this one is really meant for hardcore fans and hardcore fans alone. Or, at least I hope that is the case, because if not, I see no reason why anyone should care about the adventures of a total jerkbag and his crew of lessthaninteresting comrades. Read Full Review
This issue makes me thankful that it's never too late to jump back into the back issue bins and see what you missed by not picking up a title. Read Full Review
