Now we move on to the final issue of the Blackest Night Titans series. Man that went fast. The one thing I noticed throughout these series is that each of them gave the heroes a tool to fight back the Black Lanterns. We already know . . or at least it's been heavily hinted at, that they need to bring all the spectrum's together in order to defeat the Black Lanterns. Eventually, someone is going to be wearing all the rings. Or some sort of variation of that tactic. In Batman, we found out that when Dick froze he and Damian, that the Black Lanterns couldn't find them. Apparently they don't see things normally . . mass, motion, depth, color. It seems that the only thing they can see is the color of the emotions flowing through the person. But obviously when confronted by something as wicked as this, nobody is going to have the peace of mind to remain calm enough to shadow themselves from the Black Lanterns radar. At least not for long. Anyways, in Superman we found out that the Psycho Pirate's mask can sever the connection between host and ring. But . . the mask was destroyed. Can they do something with the pieces? I guess we'll have to wait and see. Then in this series we find out that Dove is apparently their antithesis. They can't touch her. To do so means they sever their connection. So now they want to get her to the front lines. But the Titans also have another problem. When Donna was fighting Terry and their child, the child bit her. The power of the Black Lanterns is trying hard to influence her. Luckily, she knows that. And she's trying hard not to let it gain any hold. But . . she's also realistic. She tells Dove she wants to keep her by her side. 'If I turn . . if I become like them, I want you right there at my side . . so you can end it.'
On the final page we see that Donna's already viewing the world much in the same way the Black Lanterns do. When she looks at her friends she sees the various colors of their emotions. All except Dove that is. With her . . she looks like a pillar of salt. While unconscious, there was a nice little interaction between Dove and Don Hall. Obviously the next 3 mini-series . . Flash, Wonder Woman and the JSA are going to be giving the heroes a few more tools to use against their adversaries. The interesting part, I think, will be seeing how all of these tools come together, and how they're used against the Black Lanterns. JT Krul really did an excellent job with this mini-series. I like the way his story came together, and how he handled all of these characters. Also Ed Benes' art was simply fantastic. I've missed him on JLA, but . . I'm glad that he's still around. I wonder what his next project will be. Anyways, we're half way through Blackest Night. What do you think will happen next?
