Blackest night was one of the darkest events in DC comics history. It was also one of the greatest. Like any other event in DC or Marvel, there's others stories going on. Tales of the corps puts together the stories of the lights corps, all in one book.
We start with the green lanterns, Kilowog's story is first. A great story about everyone's favorite lantern. A tale of Kilowog's training. We find out the origin of the famous saying "Poozers" comes from and why he's hard on the rookies. This story is a must read, one of the best out there.The next story is about Arisa, the hot blonde GL. It's all about her family, and sadly how being a Green Lantern is passed down, also a great story.
Now we go to the other colors starting with Red. The story is about Bleez, an angel like alien. The yellow corps invade her home and make her a slave. The yellow lantern's make her life hell, including breaking her wings. When her escape is stopped, a red ring finds her and she gets her revenge.The orange corp story is great. A god of hunger goes to planet to planet consuming everything of value. Then he goes to Larfleeze world, where the god get consumed. The yellow corps is about Mongo, well a young Mongo. Watching is father victories, idolizing him. One day a group of aliens crash land, and become Mongo's slaves. Young Mongo has his fun with them until daddy comes home, ask if there ship can be used, and kills them teaching young Mongo who's in charge.Not much to tell about the blue lantern story, was not into it that much, or even the indigo tribe, unless you speak nok, klok, and lok. The Star Sapphire story is about how Carol Ferris returns to the star sapphires, and about her past. The Black Lantern story can be passed over along with the meaning of the symbols and the black book of death. Then we go to superboy prime, for some reason they put his story here not in rise of the black lanterns.it breaks one rule of mind....... NEVER HAVE THE WRITERS, ARTIST, OR EDITORS IN COMICSBOOKS! It just takes away from the story and turns me off.
Tales of the Crops is a great book with enough goos stories to override the bad.A good supplement to Blackest Night.

(great article by the way) and in the small print interesting facts they have at the bottom of every page stated that Half-Life and portal was in the same world(if you was paying attention in HL EP2 you would know this already) and I began to think, what if Gordan Freeman gets the Portal Gun? Oh the possibilities! First, you would have to explore the the world of Half-Life trying to figure out what can hold a portal and what can not.I assume any thing metal can not hold a portal, or it could be only certain metals can or can not hold one.Roads, cement, plaster, bricks, drywall, and I'm sure many many many more things can hold a portal. Rock could be tricky, some could, some could not, it just depends on what kind and what it's made of. But you don't care what can or can't hold a portal, it's all about using it to kill some fuckers! Dropping cars, exploding barrels, ant lions, head crabs, and a hell of a lot of other shit on a bunch of combine is going to be fun to do and watch.Need to go a sniping spot? Use the portal gun! When you get to the spot, make sure to get rid of the portal, you do want combine fallowing you in don't you? The applications for the portal gun in puzzle solving could be endless. For some reason, you can't use the gravity gun, and you gotta cross a sand area on top of a ant lion hell hole, and there's a overpass, time to have some fun with portals! What would you use the portal gun for in half-life?
