james_desantis 's review for:
Infinite Crisis
by Geoff Johns
Re-read 2023: I agree with everything said before. It's BIG but it also flows nicely. Some great character moments, and even more so now that I have a ton of DC history in my head now. Worth it for sure if you love the DC Lore.
Original 2017 Review: Well color me impressed, I had fun with this. I can get that some might find this "too big" or "Too messy" or "Just not for me" and I get that. I do. However, I found the ambitious 200+ page book to be a lot of fun. I didn't read any lead ups to this (which I heard were all good) but I still really enjoyed a lot of this.
Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman are at odds. Then we have Superman from earth 2 upset of how the world has turned out. He also has Lex/Superboy on his side and they decide to change things. Of course you have the main villain, Lex, and a misguided hero Superman earth 2, and a broken one Superboy. Mix them all together and you have a very fun crossover with a ton of shit happening.
What I liked: The art was solid throughout. I felt it mixed old school and new well. The pacing is so fast you might have to re-read pages a few times because you might miss things by blinking! Each page is basically focusing on someone new and I thought that was smart. I was never bored. Confused a bit? Sure. But never bored. I also liked how the world had to work together and some really great team ups. We all had some great moments like Superboy prime vs Superboy or Superboy Prime vs two supermans. Both really fun.
What I didn't like: This is ALOT and some panels I was just like who the fuck is that? And then they never show up again. Also one thing it felt a little TOO gory filled and bloody. I get that's the idea behind the message here but goddamn there was a ton of fucked up deaths.
I really did have a good time reading this. I mean no event is perfect, I never read one I'd give a 5, but this is too fun to give it any less than a 3.5 but my enjoyment with it I'ma round it up to 4. So saying that, checking Infinite Crisis. I recommend having a decent amount of knowledge in the universe before jumping on it though!
