Infinity Inc., Vol. 1: Luthor's Monsters

Infinity Inc. (II) #1

by Peter Milligan, Max Fiumara (Illustrator), Travel Foreman (Illustrator)

From the twisted mind of Lex Luthor comes the 52 spin-off that will change everything you know about the members of Infinity, Inc.

When Lex Luthor and his Everyman project was taken down by John (Steele) Henry Irons, it appeared the story of Infinity Inc. was over. But one year-plus later, it seems that life hasn't been kind to Starlight, Fury and Nuklon. John suspects the problems may lead back to their experience on the Everyman Project, which may have opened doors that can never be shut!

Reviews

[John Yelverton]

Would have been so much better if I had actually cared about any of the characters.

This follow-up to a huge DC Universe spanning crossover (52) was a total letdown for me. I enjoyed the idea of the Infinity Inc. kids story after the events of 52 fleshing themselves out. Here, there is an almost incomprehensible storyline that in six issues is all over the place with little to no real answers to readers questions. Maybe they were addressed in the next trade but this one wasn't good enough for me to care to read any more. The art, mainly by Max Fiumara actually kept this rating from being lower. Feel free to skip this.

Qué linda fue aquella tarde en que llegó a mis manos a un precio ridículo este tomazo con un Milligan bastante inspirado, acompañado por unos dibujantes más que competentes. Lástima que la continuación la tuve que buscar en revistitas y todavía me falta una. Y que la serie haya durado tan poco. De todos modos, fue muy lindo mientras duró.

I guess I learned alot about life, and what it means to different. It felt....good.

A good, quirky superhero story in Peter Milligan's usual style. I think this would have been a nice basis for a series if it had gone longer. As is, it's mainly an oddity.
