In this book, Clark and Connor are being attacked by Kal-L and the Psycho Pirate, while Martha is being hunted by Kal-L's wife . . Lois. Actually, all of Smallville is under the sway of Psycho Pirate, but the most interesting part is the affect he has on Connor. As I've said before, despite all the dialogue that's happening between the Black Lanterns and their intended victims, I think some of the 'truths' and 'secrets' that they're exposing, will be more relevant in the future than these actual skirmishes. Connor spouts off a lot about trying to be like Superman, and the affects that his Lex Luthor heritage are having on his frame of mind. Clark knows that it's all been provoked by the Psycho Pirate, but . . there's still a lot that's said that he should probably think about. In the end, Connor overcomes the Pirate and steals his mask. He uses it to start to help Smallville, but . . the biggest revelation is when he learns that through it's use he can overcome the Black Lanterns. But it's not really like he's defeating them. It's more like the emotional conduit turns off their rings. They once again become empty shells. However, in defeating the Pirate, the mask is broken. But they did gain some useful information.
Krypto ends up coming to Martha's aid. I don't know for sure that he defeated Lois, but . . I think he tossed her far enough away that she won't be a problem again . . for a while. And, on New Krypton, they put up a energy field to keep the Black Lanterns out. Unfortunately, nothing else can get in or out either. I wonder what affect that's going to have on the Superman story-line. Anyways, this was another great issue by James Robinson, with Eddy Barrows and Alan Goldman on art. Also some terrific covers by Eddy and Shane Davis. Well, we just have 1 more issue of the Titans mini, and then this round of stories is over. Next we get mini's from the Flash, Wonder Woman and the JSA. But that doesn't that we're anywhere near the end of Blackest Night. We still have quite a ways to go, and . . a lot of unanswered questions.
