5.0 out of 5 stars Lets Do The Crisis Again...., 14 Oct 2006
By Scarlettspiderg (Salford, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Infinite Crisis (Hardcover)
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the amazing "Crisis On Infinite Earths", DC Comics decided to have another crisis. The last one (back in 1986) rebooted the DC Universe, cleared up character histories, brought characters (e.g. Captain Atom, Blue Beetle) into the DCU and relaunched several titles (e.g. Justice League America, Wonder Woman) - does Infinite Crisis do the same?

Since the original Crisis the DCU (DC Universe) has become a darker place, what with heroes dying (Superman, Robin II, Green Arrow, Metamorpho) -with some returning, going evil (Hal Jordan/Parallax, Hawk/Monarch) and the raping/mind wiping incidents (see Identity Crisis).

Picking up on all of this Geoff Johns (JSA, Teen Titans), Phil Jimenez (Wonder Woman) and George Perez (Avengers, Crisis On Infinite Earths, JLA/Avengers) have created an epic story showing the return of Earth-2 Superman (with Lois), Earth-3 Alex Luthor and Superboy Prime, and their hopes of saving the multiverse from all this darkness.

I originally read Infinite Crisis as it came out and could not wait for each issue - there's so much action, and so much happening that its an amazing read. Seeing the plot unfold, the mysteries of the 2 Lex Luthors, who destroyed the JLA Watchtower and hoping that the Trinity (Batman, Superman & Wonder Woman) can put their differences aside and work together to stop the destruction of their Earth, leads to a pulse pounding read.

Add into that Superboy Primes slippery decent into evil (I kinda felt sorry for him, what with loosing his Earth, having only 3 people to talk to and then being rejected by people he wanted to be friends with), some kick @$$ scenes with the Green Lantern's, excellent one liners (Batman to Superman, "The only time you inspired people was when you were dead") and Power Girl finally finding out the truth about her part - and this becomes an instant classic. Definitely 5 out of 5.

A side note for the skirmish/parents thinking of purchasing for children: The story does contain several deaths, so I'd recommend flicking through it before buying. Watch for my favourite involving Black Adam and watch out for Jokers 2nd appearance - its both terrifying and creepy.

So does Infinite Crisis hold up against Crisis On Infinite Earths? Only time will tell, but it has lead to history altering, several titles relaunching (Justice League America, Wonder Woman) and has strengthened the bond between characters. BTW, anyone interested in more IC should check out the lead in stories (e.g. OMAC Project, Day Of Vengeance, Rann/Thangar War and Villains United) - all available in TPB.

As for this hardcover, extras some scenes being increased (Deathstroke/Batman fight) and some being altered (gun click has gone). There's also a gallery of covers and a great Q/A chat with the creators.

2.0 out of 5 stars Leave well enough alone..., 20 Nov 2006
By James E. Rodehaver "Blue Dog" (Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Infinite Crisis (Hardcover)
Geoff Johns has helped mightily to restore order, sanity, and mythos to the core of the DC Universe's super hero figures. He has given us back Hal Jordan, the JSA, Hawkman and the Flash's Rogies Gallery. He helped make the latter comic book, The Flash, relevant again. His finger prints are all over some of the best comic storylines of the last five years. Traversing the length and breadth of the DC Universe, he has cut the Gordian Knots plaguing poor continuity of some of our most epic and beloved heroes. Yet, in taking on the sequel to Crisis on Infinite Earths, he has taken a step too far. This book positions itself as an editorial on the state of superhero-comics-ethics. Heroes operate more as feckless vigilantes and less as value-driven crime-fighters. In the increasingly dark storylines, heroes seem to have forgotten where they came from and why they fight injustice. There are so many themes and examples of this degeneration of super-heroes that it would seem that Geoff Johns has positioned himself well to write a meaningful follow up story to the seminal comics crossover event: Crisis on Infinite Earths. He fails to do so. Unfortunately, Johns has written a crudely complex action-oriented event that fails to deliver on the promise of its staging and build up. Whereas he set the table to write a multi-dimensional meditation on the state of the modern men-in-tights format, he a furious, action-film style mess that reinforces the gratuitous death and mayhem that he seemingly set out to debunk and deflate. Despite its strong initial chapter's focus on character, continuity, and consequence, the book's latter chapters reveal a thin plotline designed to justify another shake up of the DC universe. In the euphamism of the original crisis, World's live, world's die and this story left me caring nary a moment. Heroes die, heroes are reborn. None of it makes the slightest bit of sense. It is not done with style or with grace. In the end, the demise of Wally West's Flash or Ted Kord's Blue Beetle or the Earth 2 Superman leave me wondering why this was needed or necessary. Sadly, the reason is commercialism. Wally West was not central to the plot of the story, but his book still needed to sell. Blue Beetle had become a joke and it is tougher to redeem a hero than to re-boot him. One might expect a different outcome from an author like Johns, who has made redeeming heroes his specialty.

5.0 out of 5 stars An epic superhero yarn for our times, 20 Mar 2007
By M. Jackson "MOJOMIKE" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Infinite Crisis (Hardcover)
If you want your superhero comics to be big, epic and hard hitting then this is for you. Geoff Johns has crafted a fine sequel to the original 1986 crisis, that is both emotionally involving and action packed. After months of excellent lead-ins and tie-ins we finally get to see the climax of events in the DC universe that have been brewing since the controversial, yet compelling Identity Crisis. Multiple story threads are tightly brought together and brought to a tidy conclusion, that doesn't fail to deliver. This book is a success both as a one off comic book event and as an attempt to rationalize and tidy up DC continuity. The key theme of redemption, even at a great cost, for the tarnished heros of the DC universe is carried off in a moving and powerful way, bringing a timely reminder of what it should mean to be a real hero. The art through out (as one has come to expect from modern comics) is superb, a right balance between realism and fantasy.

Anyone who read the first Crisis 20 years ago, or who has a remote interest in the DC heroes should check this out (and possibly some of the related titles, OMAC project, Identity crisis, Villains united and power girl to name a few).
