Infinite Crisis for $10.19 currently at Amazon
I’d read this one before, but I was pleasantly surprised when I re-read it. I’m not sure why I thought it was average before, it’s a good read.
The thing about DC events is they’re ambitious. Sure, they have plenty of other problems, but a DC event usually ends up doing something ridiculous like destroying thousands of universes. This one doesn’t disappoint!
Earth-1 is a dark place. Heroes have done things they shouldn’t have, Wonder Woman murdered someone on tv, too many heroes have died. The remaining citizens of Earth-2, and one from Earth-3, the ones cast away after Crisis on Infinite Earths, have decided that enough is enough. Earth-1 is corrupt and they’re going to get Earth-2 back.
My primary problem with this particular event is, even after reading the assorted comics leading up to it, it’s still a little confusing. I doubt they could’ve prevented that due to all the characters they trot out and all the multiverse business. Oh, and that Superboy is a giant baby and I hate how he became a major character for years afterwards due to this event. Although he’s pretty hilarious in the current Blackest Night arc.
The art is well done, the story is enjoyable despite some confusion, it’s an epic fight between all sides in the DC universe.
4/5.
