Infinite Crisis Omnibus

Product Information

I mean, just as you can expect with any DC crisis event, a lot of action, fast paced shit going on, it all seems like doom and gloom however, in the end…everyone walks away unscathed. Their earth was simpler, and that's why they managed to keep their "purity", but when tested and immersed on hardship and harsher situations, they coudn't take the pressure. Geoff recently became a New York Times Bestselling author with the graphic novel Superman: Brainiac with art by Gary Frank.

Let me know if you know any other storylines explained that you found helpful for Infinite Crisis or DC understanding in general. However, much like most events, the story does suffer from 2 main things: 1) Too big of a cast, due to the huge number of companion tales resulting in a loss of momentum of main story to tell these pointless tales and 2) Lack of a true consequence (but most comic are like this. and ultimately, that makes Infinite Crisis feel a lot less impactful now, and more of a curious example of DC trying to recapture the lightning in a bottle that was Crisis on Infinite Earths. Of all the Infinite Crisis miniseries, The OMAC Project is the one that most obviously continues on from Countdown to Infinite Crisis. It then slowly grows and grows with each story touching a different part of the DC Comics Universe, from street level D-list villains, to a cosmic war between Thanagar, Rann, and Tamaran with huge ramifications, and a war for magic.Being old and experienced with the level of wisdom he should have, should have brought him to that conclusion without E1 Superman having to say it. Fortunately, the writing is sharp and interesting enough that it's an intriguing setup, and particularly today when you can read straight on to the rest of the story, you don't mind it's incomplete nature. I read the event before with Absolute Infinite Crisis ( review here) and loved it, but rereading the entire event with all of the supplemental lead-up, is a completionist's wet-dream. I also don't fully believe the motivations or beliefs of Superboy Prime, Alexander Luthor, or E2 Superman. The individual arcs were nice enough but the way it all ties together for infinite crisis was great.

The Omnibus also weaves the mini-series finales into the Infinite Crisis series itself (and they come across as coherent, complete parts of the story, albeit not up to the writing of the main storyline.The idea that these heroes are an ideal to aspire to, and therefore, shouldn't be fallible, is a bit of a fallacy for me. I think my pre-crisis highlight was the Brubaker/Rucka run of Batman or Gotham Central, but I also loved Emerald Twilight and the Death of Superman. It's fun, and 10 years later it's an enjoyable relaxing read, but nothing to make it super memorable.
