A Better Crisis Than the Original

I found this to be much more enjoyable than the original Crisis. The story was muddled, the dialog was bad, and at times it just didn't make any logical sense. But this for me was enjoyable through out. Infinite Earths tried to cram every character they could into the story often slowing down the narrative and confusing things. Where in Infinity Crisis it felt like they were able to work in a lot of characters, but I never felt it was getting away from the plot. I also felt like there was more tension. Though the threat was just as credible in Infinite Earths if not more so. It never felt like it was as big of a threat. There were some good battles. I like the art work as well. I think it's something a lot of comic book fans would enjoy, but I guess it's not everyone's cup of tea.

very good.....

I was a little confused with the story, but it was what happened in the book and with the characters I was familiar with that touched me especially with the death of Conner Kent aka this worlds superboy......before reading this book most info I got about the death of superboy was through wikipedia but when I actually read it and seen it for my own eyes I really did get emotional over Conners death.....it really was sad with this charater with still alot of potential, popularity
and interest in him......all in all , a very good book..

Pretty Good for a Blockbuster Movie

I tried desperately to forge my way through the Original Crisis on Infinite Earths and I just couldn't do it. It has that old silioquy style comic vibe going on where characters talk to themselves and basically tell the plot through dialog. I just couldn't get into it. So I was a little suspicious of this sequel to begin with. Thankfully, it's more modern and appealing, if not over the top in some aspects, like the gratuitous violence and killing off of random characters. I never finished the original, but in this one Super Boy Prime seems to go really over the edge crazy for no apparent reason. I'll admit his spree of violence is pretty entertaining, like the future Black Adam in 52, he puts his powers to their full use. Overall, it was good, but I can't say it was great. I don't mean that in a durogatory way at all. I was more impressed by Green Lantern: Rebirth by Johns. If you like that, and you like the cinematic, world breaking, serious Blockbuster action movie style of comics then you will like this. And for this price, it's completely worth a purchase and read through.

This Ain't No Civil War

I am only an occasional DC Comics reader. To be honest, I am a little out of touch with the DC Universe, apart from Batman, so Infinite Crisis is probably not the best place to start. In reading this, one does need to connect the dots with previous tie-ins, but it's not that confusing. However, as an epic, it's underwhelming. It's not exactly as coherent as that other crisis in the Marvel world - Civil War; House of M, etc.

Over the years, DC characters have not changed as much as they should have. They still feel for the most part, glossy despite the carnage. Even though Wonder Woman is a killer; Superboy Prime is a killer...well, this still doesn't turn out to be one of the darkest storylines I've read. But it should well be. It ends more cerebral than character led unfortunately. Too many heroes, villains. Most showing up for effect rather than real story. As a result, Infinite Crisis never quite hits the mark or "oomph" as we call it. Having characters pop up for a few panels at a time underscores the complexity of this project, but also doesn't give the reader much to hold on to.

So, should I read this backwards, and will I get any satisfaction from tracking the crisis? I somehow doubt it but anyone reading this can comment and advice me. Cheers
