Infinite Crisis Omnibus by Gail Simone, Bill Willingham, Geoff Johns, Dave Gibbons, Greg Rucka
4.0

A huge epic that is thrilling even if you aren't the biggest DC Nerd.

But if you are? Even better.

My main review on Infinite Crisis covers that portion well enough but the build up deserves some praise too. The intro of countdown to Infinite Crisis is edge of your seat storytelling starring Blue Beetle with a shocking conclusion that sets the tone for the entire year before Infinite Crisis begins. With setting up the villains united, Omac, Sacrifice, and more, every plotline, mistrust, and anger towards each other especially from Superman to Batman to Wonder Woman leads into WHY Infinite crisis is so important and ends up a reflection of the more grim/dark look into the world of DC.

Excellent book with only the "War" arc in space with Adam Strange being the weak link for me.

A 4 out of 5.
