Wow!!! So I just finished reading all the Blackest Night books of the week and not surprising this was my favorite. Generally I like Tomasi's Green Lantern Corps title more than the Green Lantern main book. I also loved his work on the Nightwing title. Here we get the best of both worlds. Tomasi combines his love and familarity of the Bat Family with his and Johns's world of the Green Lantern. This issue reminds me of why I miss the Nightwing ongoing. Tomasi has a great handle of Dick Grayson's charcter and his new situation as Batman. Then we have Boston Brand a.k.a. Deadman. Deadman stole the show. I'm really intrigued that his body is a Black Lantern but his spirit is still free. I can't wait to see how this plot device plays out later. Then to finish the issue (we all knew it was coming) Dick and Tim's parents are resurrected as Black Lanterns. The artist on this is a relatively unkown, Ardian Syaf. His Black Lanterns look creepy, his Gotham City looks broken and decreped, and he draws a great Dick Grayson Batman second only to Frank Quietly. The art and story both blew me away and I wouldn't be surprised if this was my pick of the week.
Story: 5 - Excellent
Art: 5 - Excellent

Tomasi knows Grayson. I read the close of his work on Nightwing, and it’s as if he never missed a beat. Combine that with his work on GL Corp and he begins to draw upon both those worlds on the canvas to create something truly inspired.
It’s almost as if Tomasi wrote this to be a jumping on point for those hesitant to read Blackest Night (you know, those four people in the country), as well as bridging the goings on in the Batbooks.
His Deadman is just great, especially as the narrator. He provides insight as to the world of the dead and being an anchor in Gotham. Tomasi does well in setting up two circus performers in Dick and Deadman.
Kubert’s art flows well, though it took me awhile to figure out which Robin he was using. His Damien felt a bit older, and I nearly mistook him for Tim. Still very tight with his pencils.
Overall great book.
Ack, sorry I meant to write that on my own review.
But I do agree w/ you on missing Tomasi on Nightwing.
