Poozer (poo-zer)

1. (n.) Refers to a rookie of the Green Lantern Corps.

2. (n.) A word whose origin is unknown and insignificant except to geeks.

3. (n.) A word whose origin was thought to be lantern drill sergeant Kilowog… until Tales of the Corps #3!

Just when I thought I wasn’t going to buy any of the previous Tales of the Corps series, I read this one and it gave me that urge to buy the whole set. (Bye bye salary which I will receive tomorrow!)

Unlike TOC 1 & 2, this only has two stories and they both feature Green Lanterns: Kilowog as a ROOKIE (and where the word POOZER comes from) and Arisia as to how she was inducted into the corps. The “final” story here is a pencilled version of Blackest Night #0 with a director’s commentary. (If you are into the philosophical stuff DC has to offer like me, you will love the last part. Again Geoff Johns, is awesome.)

This is my favorite in the series and a fitting way to end it – and it gives us the “right mindset” in our approach to reading the rest of the Blackest Night arc.

I don’t see how I can add any more info without thoroughly spoiling it: So I’ll just rate it (hahaha much easier!) – 4.5/5 stars so GO BUY IT!!!
