The series storyline is a sequel to the 1985 “Crisis on Infinite Earths” dealing with the Multiverse (in which the many parallel worlds were threatened by the Anti-Monitor). In this installment the Superman (Kal'L) and Lois of Earth-Two come to Earth-One with SuperBoy Prime and Lex Luthor of Earth-3 (a good Luthor) to try and bring back Earth-Two (because Superman of Earth-Two thinks it will restore Lois' health) which will threaten Earth-One. Did you get all of that? Pay attention. There will b...more

This was more about me doing my dork homework and reading the damn thing than it was any real desire to experience the story, I'll be honest. That said, I did actually enjoy it alright for what it was, although I don't think I'll ever actually spend money on it. (I got this one out of the library.)

Like Crisis On Infinite Earths before it, Infinite Crisis has alot of strange reasons going into why the hell it exists--some of them are good reasons, some are not--and the end result is a mixed bag....more

I took a little time off from what I was reading to delve into the compilation paperback of DC's Infinite Crisis.

I have always been a DC fan. Oh, not that it was some sort of exclusive relationship, but Batman is what drew me to comics and in some sense why I stayed. As a history goofball, I also became hooked on the Golden Age heroes. At first, I just enjoyed their setting in time, ultimately, I came to appreciate their quirkiness and the difference in style and tone between comics written befo...more

This got nudged up a star just for the central concept of the book being so dang fascinating; the idea of the brighter, simpler superheroes of the past actively trying to save/destroy the grim and gritty heroes of the present. I really dug this conceit, and Johns did a good job giving moments to the Trinity (Superman, Batman, & Wonder Woman) who are in a reflective mood after some devastating collective failures.

This worked as a nice homage to the original Crisis on Infinite Earths, but it...more

I was satisfied with Infinite Crisis overall, but I can't say I was blown away by the story. (Minor spoilers ahead.)

The may be due to the story's reliance on Crisis on Infinite Earths and the survivors of that massive DC crossover over two decades ago: Earth-Two's Kal-L and Lois Lane, Superboy-Prime and Alexander Luthor, Jr. from Earth-Three.

Crisis on Infinite Earths was the defining comic book event of its time, as it attempted to resolve continuity glitches that emerged with many of the charac...more

Infinite Crisis, written by Geoff Johns with art by Phil Jimenez, George Pérez, Ivan Reis, and Jerry Ordway, was DC's big crossover event in 2005/2006 and the follow-up to one of the first superhero-universe-crossing events, the original Crisis on Infinite Earths (COIE).

Well, it's a crossover and, as with nearly all crossovers, you don't get the full story. Then again, in order to cover every single little nuance of IC you'd have to follow dozens of different books. Still, what you do get generally makes sense without having to read all the spin-offs (although sometimes some annotations help). Geoff Johns puts together a decent story concerning the heroes of DC's universe fighting against the three ex-heroes - Alex Luthor, Superman of Earth 2 and Superboy Prime - who went off to "heaven" at the end of the COIE.

Unfortunately, that's where the first problem starts. COIE established that the characters of Alex Luthor, Superman of Earth 2 and Superboy Prime were great heroes worthy of paradise; they saved the day at the end of COIE. Casting them as villains in this Crisis feels somewhat forced - especially considering how villainous Alex and Superboy are portrayed here. Thankfully, Earth 2 Superman is redeemed at the end, but Superboy is left as a raging, psychotic maniac and Alex is brutally killed, thus ending this character's brief life.

And that brings us to the other problem that plagues IC - the violence. There are a number of panels that depict characters having their arms ripped off or their head punched into adjacent panels. Black Adam pushes his fingers through Psycho-Pirates eyes and out the back of his head and we get to see all the bloody results. It's generally too much. As shown in some of his other books, Geoff Johns seems to have a thing for bloody violence and, certainly in DCs flagship book like IC, it's not welcome.

It's a pity Johns has such a violent streak, because other than the above two problems this is an exciting read. I enjoyed COIE when I read it in TPB form (I didn't get to read the series in 1985) and, I think, generally IC is a better read. It brings together all of DC's superheroes against a universal threat, which is always great to see and read. Being a fan of superteam books, I love seeing various heroes working together and love the super-bizarreness of huge battles and villains smashing planets together to create new ones.

This time, instead of George Perez (who pencilled COIE), Phil Jimenez provides most of the art on this series. Although, IMO, he's not as good as Perez, his line work is still very impressive. It's very fine, detailed and fun of energy and a lot is crammed onto a page. This is one time where the art would definitely benefit from being reproduced in a larger format.

Unfortunately, Jimenez does not do all the art in this TPB. A minority of the pages are provided by Ivan Reis, Jerry Ordway and the great George Pérez, all of whom are very good artists. I think they merge quite well with the other pages and there's not that much of a disconnect. Reis' style is probably the most different from Jimenez's but even there the transition is not jarring. It's probably helped by the colouring, which, although darker than I would have liked (COIE's lighter colouring was preferable), does a decent job.

Overall this is a decent story with great art. It suffers from being a company-wide crossover, which means that parts of the story are not explored within this TPB, and from moments of bloody darkness but, perhaps surprisingly, it's very enjoyable. (less)

Okay, so there is this machine made out of the guts of this bad dude, and if you put a survivor from another universe in it (see Crisis proper) then some bad mojo will go down.

Oh, and Superboy Prime (a 'supeboy' no one gave a shit about), who was the only superhero in his universe and who was as strong as the classic Earth-1 Superman of the 1970s, well he went totally psychopathic apeshit after being locked up with and having to listen to old people for too long (could happen).

La história explica una crisis en el Universo DC donde se juega con los múltiples universos y múltiples Tierras, dando así un argumento magnífico para hacer con todos los personajes DC lo que se quiera. Por esta parte considero que es un tomo magnífico que se disfruta de principio a fin en el que aparece un Superman original con canas, el Flash de la época dorada (con casco) y se juntan con los personajes conocidos, y no tan conocidos del Universo DC. Todos ellos tienen cabida en esta história aun que la "separación" de los tres pilares esenciales de la Liga de la Justicia centran la história mostrando la desconfianza que se crea entre Superman, Batman y Wonder Woman.

En este tomo se muestran escenas e imágenes realmente memorables. La introducción con los 3 principales de la Liga de la justicia es memorable. La portada de Infinite Crisis núm. 6 en USA de Jim Lee con Superboy Prime. Fantástica la escena de guerra en Metrópolis a doble página en 212 y 213. Especial mención a la escena final de Superman y Kara en la página 240.

El tomo sirve de introducción para la serie "52", y nos muestra el punto de inflexión y la história por la que Superman, Batman y Wonder Woman se toman unas vacaciones para reflexionar un poco.

En cuanto a la edición me parece fantástica. La portada en mate tiende a mancharse más de lo que me gustaría, pero es un tomo cómodo de leer. Mucho mejor que los anteriores tomos Absolute de Planeta. Lo único "malo" de estos tomos es que en páginas dobles, el pliegue central puede llegar a ocultar cosas que me gustaría ver. El tomo además cuenta con las portadas de la serie y debo confesarme admirador de las portadas de Jim Lee. Además al final del tomo se añade una conversación con los creadores de Crisis Infinita en la que hablan de ella a modo de diálogo. Además de algunos lápices originales y capas de algunas escenas.

En general me parece una história excelente y un tomo que no puede faltar en la estantería de cualquier amante de los cómics y especialmente del universo DC, pues fue el gran evento de su época que marcaría un antes y un después.(less)

Somehow, though, that didn't really take away from the story. I admit to have not read Crisis on Infinite Earths yet, which is something I hope to rectify sooner or later (though it's been on my list for some time), but I have read Zero Hour - which probably doesn't matter too much with this story. I did not know that the lazy Superboy with the black shirt is the same being as the cloned Superboy way back from the Death of Superman/Reign of the Supermen days ... the last time I was sort of aware of what was going on in the DC Universe. Admittedly, DC does not always seem to be that enticing, in that it seems like they keep destroying and rebooting their universe(s) every couple of years, which is not impressive for a reader who prefers continuity over "fresh and new." Sadly, Marvel seems to be doing the same thing these days as well (though they've been doing that regularly since the '90s as well). As for this story, which is really more for the die-hard fans than casual fans, since it's all about brief moments of characters you are already supposed to know alluding to key moments you are likewise also supposed to know - even so, it was still an enjoyable read. The brief quiet moments of emotion still made the right impact, even though I wasn't always aware of their full significance. I'm sure it is even more meaningful for the more-than-casual fans. The general message of being true to oneself and fighting for Justice is obviously a good one, even if it is hard to take in the retconning, rebooting, and forget-the-past-it's-new-or-forgotten era of comics in which we are today. It's nice to see Dick Grayson is basically the moral center of the DC Universe (in contrast to Frank Miller's DKR version of the future DCU). The art is crazily full - splashes galore and no unused corner. The rare quiet, empty panels are welcome reliefs, even if they are usually accompanied by sorrowful moments. Each panel is stuffed with characters, action, and space ships - it's hard to believe in the bonus conversation in the back of the TPB the creative teams wanted more action sequences! This is a good read for casual fans, but not a great place to start for one's first experience with DC comics. For the big DC fan (most of whom have probably already read it), you will certainly enjoy this a great deal.(less)

These three humble words were what came out of my shell-shocked mouth after I finished the enigma of comics called Infinite Crisis. Good Lord how the mighty have fallen. I previously read Crisis on Infinite Earths. Sure, it was complex and confusing BUT it also happened to be amazing. It was a frickin’ masterpiece for God’s sake. It is a perfect example (that no comic company seems to follow) of how to write event comic books well. Infinite Crisis pays ‘tribute’ to Crisis on Infinite Earths by being a direct sequel. . .and raping the legacy ‘part one’ established.

So what is Infinite Crisis about? You got me. It supposedly involves the select group of characters who survived the multiverse’ eradication in Crisis on Infinite Earths (Superboy Prime, Alex Luthor from Earth 3, Superman from Earth 2 and Lois Lane from Earth 2). The problem though is that these heroes have now become monsters bent on ethnic/earthly cleansing. People that we actually cared for have become murdering, fascist bitch faces. Geoff Johns, the writer of Infinite Crisis, fails to make a tribute to Crisis on Infinite Earths by taking his wiener out and peeing all over the 20 year historical impact of Crisis on Infinite Earths. Every plot point stinks of ‘we’re really stretching here readers. . .but take our word for it’.

I suppose the whole thing could be forgiven (well, okay, probably not) if the story itself was complete. Crisis on Infinite Earths did have a lot of crossover books that tied into the story but the original 12 issue series was self contained: you, in now way, had to read any of the side stories to ‘get’ Crisis on Infinite Earths. Infinite Crisis, on the other hand, suffers from the 21st century marketing machine of the comic industry in which a label with the event title is placed on top of hundreds of issues of separate comics and, insultingly, are directly connected to the eventual limited run of the actual event.

What you get then are hundreds of ‘unimportant’ comic books with nuanced, detailed story-lines followed by the actual important event that is so generalized and reliant on those previous issues that readers of the main event will have NO IDEA what is going on. You want background? Buy our other seventy five tie-in issues! Sure, I could have purchased other books and got the whole story but the question I’d be asking myself as I forked over $20 after $20 is WHY? Infinite Crisis is supposed to be a self contained, seven chapter series. But it isn’t. The book makes no sense. . .but not because it didn’t want to but because DC’s wallet said so.

A lot of things happened in Crisis on Infinite Earths that effected the DC universe forever (supposedly) including character death. But all the characters that die seem to be back (i.e. Supergirl and Flash). Explanation? No. . .just guess. Infinite Crisis is a sequel to a story that is upended by DC’s own mythology. But we could go on and on about Infinite Crisis’ issues with it’s connection to the story it so called gives tribute to. But there are other issues that make the book worthy of holding up your lopsided table (and that’s all).

The most glaring example is, of course, the violence. I don’t see why the authors felt that seeing people being beheaded, de-limbed, torn in half, vaporized, and pumped full of bullets was worth looking at. I’m all for some realism in comics but a book that contains a giant red head’s hands reaching into the galaxy to pluck planets can’t also have someone punching a hole through someone’s abdomen. When did we go from comic book (something of high fantasy) to a gore hound’s wet dream?

And, to add to that, the writers take characters once thought good and, for no reason whatsoever, changes their personal ideology to one of peace to acceptable mass annihilation. Alex Luthor, a man so dedicated to saving the universe in COIE, suddenly wants to re-ceate that which he tried to destroy and then destroy it all over again in some OCD-Nazi rage in the form of the ‘perfect’ model. Superboy, the boy of Steel, who idolized Superman and wanted to be him in all ways, decides to become a homicidal maniac who basically says ‘they made me do it!’ while teeing off superheroes skulls. And even Superman of Earth-2, a man who selflessly gave his life to keep Earth 1 safe in COIE, decides to eliminate that Earth and bring back his old one. . .thus murdering billions of people so that he can a)restore his love and b)secure peace and the ‘perfect’ model. He has no moral qualms about this. None.

Who are these people???? I literally don’t know them. And DC characters have trouble being grey. Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman are pretty black and white. To add to them conflicting attributes is a bit silly. . .and further adds to the grime Infinite Crisis places on your eyeballs. Plus. . .and future writers please take note of this. . .Batman does not belong in space. Ever. It’s just stupid.

The whole book is stupid. . .I’m done talking about it.(less)

About Geoff Johns
