    Tomasi and crew do a nice job of balancing out the light-hearted banter of Deadman and Blue Devil with the serious world-threatening power of the Black Lantern Spectre and the mystical babble of the Phantom Stranger. The story doesn't seem as natural coming from Tomasi as his work on "Green Lantern Corps," but it serves this issue very well. If you found yourself with a little extra comic cash this week, needing a "Blackest Night" fix, you could certainly do worse than to buy this issue. Read Full Review

    Still, even in an average comic, it's great to see an old favorite again. Hopefully we'll see more of the old boy in the future. Read Full Review

    And where was the Strangers old nemesis/co-star Dr. 13? Id like to see how that professional skeptic reacted to his wife coming back from the dead. That could have been more interesting than this. Read Full Review
