Infinite Crisis Omnibus

Product Information

This is the Superman story that serves as the loose connection between Identity Crisis and Day of Vengeance, as Eclipso swears vengeance on Shazam and possesses Jean Loring.

The characters are both back due to the total continuity f*** known as the Nu52, and who knows how all this fits any more. It was a crazy ride from start to finish, and a more than worthwhile event that did indeed shape that which had yet to come. In its day, that generated very angry responses from fans, in part because it sabotaged the JLI reunion that Keith Giffen was even then writing. Even when you think the mystery has been revealed, someone says or does one more thing that adds another layer you need to peel back. After six issues of this, the story anticlimaxes, sacrificing any conclusion upon the altar of Infinite Crisis.He appears in so many stories as the ultimate savior or threat (there was a similar plot in JSA) but I still do not really get the character. Its still alot to read previously, though, but if it sounds like homework, its not, because these are all excellent reads.

I wish E2 Superman figured out what a perfect world actually means for the concept or idea of Superman on his own. But if you can't find it, or dont like omnibus because of their size, I'd really recommend reading Countdown to Final Crisis, The Omac Project, Sacrifice, and Crisis of Conscience, to get the most of it.but I have the DC Infinite Ultra and want to check out some other series over the weekend while I take a break before starting Infinite Crisis. Putting Phil Jimenez on the main title was a good idea; his style is very much like that of George Perez, so there's a feeling of continuity with the first Crisis. Geoff recently became a New York Times Bestselling author with the graphic novel Superman: Brainiac with art by Gary Frank. Overall, as with any comic event "Infinite Crisis" is a mess, but it's a mess that comes together and stays true to some very important and very real themes. I have a few other gripes about the story as well but apart from my next one, I'll keep it in the vein of the main Infinite Crisis story.
