Description

This is truly a fitting omnibus, weaving together the many storylines which all integrated into Infinite Crisis into a coherent whole. With what Johns has to say about the state of superhero storytelling in the modern day, how it relates to the classic Golden and Silver Age stories, how it all ties into the vast history of Dc and the way he gives old characters new life and nuance, is something to behold. Still, the stories tend to be overbloated sideshows in the Infinite Crisis story whose best feature is highlighting the miniseries that flowed into the Crisis. And on the other, Geoff Johns is attempting to do exactly that with any inconsistencies and issues leftover from the classic Crisis On Infinite Earths event from 1985.

Two issues of imaginary fighting against imaginary foes, followed by a reveal of what really happened and then a fight between Superman and Wonder Woman. I also don't fully believe the motivations or beliefs of Superboy Prime, Alexander Luthor, or E2 Superman.It then slowly grows and grows with each story touching a different part of the DC Comics Universe, from street level D-list villains, to a cosmic war between Thanagar, Rann, and Tamaran with huge ramifications, and a war for magic. Geoff recently became a New York Times Bestselling author with the graphic novel Superman: Brainiac with art by Gary Frank. The trinity are on full display here but the 4 (no spoilers) are wonderfully reintroduced and their characterizations are fun and meaningful.

But to deny the need for an approach that somewhat mirrors the times and interests of the new generations would mean the death of the genre. The main series awesome—some really impressive crowd scenes, a powerful way to make a sequel on a classic, and some genuine emotion. The only other stories that are also very important to understanding the main story are: Identity Crisis, which is essential to read before the beginning of this book: and the grandaddy of all big events, Crisis On Infinite Earths Deluxe Edition. The way in which DC incorporates editorial change and commentary into the narrative of their universe may seem convoluted and annoying to many, but I think it really works in this case.This is my second time reading through Infinite Crisis, I liked it a lot when I first read it in 2005, but that was 10 years ago and I think my tastes have changed quite a bit.
