Když jsem četl jsem hlavní řadu IC, hodně mě bavila - na pár místech jsem se nechytal, ale v jádru dobrý.

mostly the Superboy Prime stuff and the fates of the other alternate universe heroes left over from Crisis on Infinite Earths. I do think that having read recent comics before the event will make the read much more enjoyable as the trinity's fight will be much more powerful and their point of view much more understandable (especially Batman). The way NO ONE in the story seemed to grasp that is why I hate the logic behind not killing some villains; it just isn't realistic in some situations. The only other stories that are also very important to understanding the main story are: Identity Crisis, which is essential to read before the beginning of this book: and the grandaddy of all big events, Crisis On Infinite Earths Deluxe Edition.

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. This book encapsulates everything great about this era, arguably the best time in DC Comics, where Geoff. 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. It starts like all big stories do, small, with a mystery/espionage story involving Brother I, the spy satellite that Batman creates in his paranoia, as well as the corruption of the Checkmate shadow organization.

And on the other, Geoff Johns is attempting to do exactly that with any inconsistencies and issues leftover from the classic Crisis On Infinite Earths event from 1985. The ending, when you finally get there, is dramatic and another of the major movements in the Infinite Crisis storyline .

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.

It is a cavalcade of appearances by DC characters both beloved and forgotten, but the dialogue is perfectly cohesive and characteristic. 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. It's primarily a lead-in for The OMAC Project and Superman: Sacrifice, but it also touches upon the other two introductory series, Day of Vengeance and The Rann-Thangar War. Some suggestions that I already have on my list is the Loeb run of Batman/Superman and the Day of Judgement mini-series.Geoff recently became a New York Times Bestselling author with the graphic novel Superman: Brainiac with art by Gary Frank. On one hand, the main antagonist of the story is attempting to do just that - in his own vision, anyway. So, as you can see, there is ALOT collected here, and reading it in this format, is a very fun and engaging experience. It collects not only Infinite Crisis but the all the content leading up to it for the few preceding years.
