Infinite Crisis Omnibus (New Edition)

Product Information

The Rann/Thangar War. So we get more of the chaotic fighting that made the Rann/Thangar War so tedious. It's helped by the fact that we get some context, and there's one dramatic status-quo change ... but after that we still don't get an ending for this interminable battle! [2/5] Day of Vengeance: Infinite Crisis Special, The OMAC Project: Infinite Crisis Special, Rann–Thanagar War: Infinite Crisis Special, Villains United: Infinite Crisis Special, En el apartado gráfico encontramos grandes nombres como Phil Jimenez (dibujando la serie madre) junto al maestro Perez, Ordway, Reis, Saiz, Morales, Eaglesham, Benes, etc.

Oh man, what a book....this one took me too long to get through. Being such a behemoth of a book, coupled with the tragically dull Rann/Thanagar 'interlude' I almost gave up. Superman is reinvented from the ground up in this omnibus collection of stories that defined the Man of Steel for decades! I liked the Rann-Thanagar War a little less but I always some trouble to follow the intergalactic storylines. This very good, no doubt. The Collected Edition". The Annotated Infinite Crisis. Archived from the original on 2008-07-03 . Retrieved 2008-02-19.So, as you can see, there is ALOT collected here, and reading it in this format, is a very fun and engaging experience. If you are interested in Infinity Crisis, this is the best way to read it. 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 there's a good chance you'd enjoy the main event even whithout these; it'll just be more confusing. DC Comics executive editor Dan DiDio stated that Infinite Crisis was being hinted at in various stories for two years prior to its launch, starting with the "death" of Donna Troy. [3] The leadup was mostly understated until the release of the Adam Strange limited series in 2004, at which point industry press began to report that DC was planning a very large event, mentioning the titles Teen Titans, The Flash, and JSA, all written by Geoff Johns. [ citation needed] I liked a lot, possibly more than the main event, the "Coutdown" arcs with smaller teams and focused plots. Especially the villain arc.

Success!

And, Countdown is very much the intro to that sequel, Infinite Crisis. 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. Honestly, that makes it a lot less of its own book. It's primarily a setup that leads up to a single inciting event. 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. GraphicAudio produced an audiobook of the novelization of Infinite Crisis. The audiobook spans two volumes with 6 CDs each and features a full cast, music and sound effects. Volume 1 and 2 were released in May-July 2007. As with many large-scale comic crossovers, Infinite Crisis featured a large number of tie-ins. Before the event was announced, books such as Adam Strange and Identity Crisis were being described as part of bigger plans. After Countdown, several books were identified as tie-ins to the four mini-series. Thus, although Infinite Crisis itself is only seven issues long, its plot elements appeared in dozens of publications. With Countdown to Infinite Crisis, Infinite Crisis began to visibly affect DC's editorial policy. Geoff Johns and Grant Morrison moved into editorial positions in addition to their writing duties, respectively to coordinate coherence of the DC Universe and to handle reimaginings of several characters. [ citation needed] Mark Waid signed an exclusive contract with DC, receiving a similar editorial role. DC replaced its official decades-old logo (the "DC bullet") with a new one (the "DC spin") that debuted in the first issue of DC Special: The Return of Donna Troy.

It must be pretty frustrating for more casual readers to make heads or tail of Infinite Crisis itself, though, without all these tie-ins, and I can see why some people might be turned off it without those supporting reads. But if a reader gets acquainted with, at least, CoIE, Identity Crisis, Countdown to Infinity Crisis, The OMAC project, and JLA-Crisis of Conscience, he should really enjoy this. Its still alot to read previously, though, but if it sounds like homework, its not, because these are all excellent reads. In fact, for me, the main event wasn't even the best part of this omnibus. Countdown, Omac Project, and Crisis of Conscience were, for me, the best parts of it. Collects Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #133-139 and #141-148, The New Gods #1-11, The Forever People #1-11, Mister Miracle #1-18, plus later stories from New Gods #4 and DC Graphic novel #4 Superman: Sacrifice. Neatly sandwiched between The Omac Project #3 and #4, this is a crucial story beat in the Infinite Crisis plotline. Unfortunately, it's also quite dull. Each tie-in and prelude is solid on it's own as a stand-alone story but somehow also becomes a necessary component to building up to the main event. 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. They probably should have also included Teen Titans/Outsiders: The Death and Return of Donna Troy and Adam Strange: Planet Heist to be fully complete.nfinite Rewrites, or: Crisis on Infinite Versions of DC's Major Crossover Series".

It feels like this finale gives us the full scope of Day of Vengeance, as the end of the Ninth Age of Magic and the beginning of the Tenth comes across as truly epic, full of sacrifices (though the Shadowpact are certainly reduced to supporting roles in this finale) [4+/5]. Después de la primera Crisis, allá por el año de 1985, se cocinaba 20 años después una "secuela espiritual", una crisis que regresaba a la continuidad muchos elementos que no debieron desaparecer o cambiar drásticamente, incluso personajes que estaban desaparecidos o en el limbo. As DC's 30th century super-team, the Legion of Super-Heroes had always stood as a shining example of futuristic optimism–but that changed in 1989 with a new Legion of Super-Heroes series that brought the timeline forward five years. In this even further future, the United Planets became a darker place, with familiar characters changed and the Earth overtaken by alien invaders–and the team reunited to take on these dangerous new threats.

In June 2008, a third series, Final Crisis, set immediately following the conclusion of the 51-issue Countdown to Final Crisis, began. Now this bold and controversial part of DC history is finally collected in an omnibus edition, from the creative team of DC legend Keith Giffen and Tom and Mary Bierbaum!This is my second time reading through Infinite Crisis, I liked it a lot when I first read it in 2005, but that was 10 years ago and I think my tastes have changed quite a bit. There are things here that I absolutely love (GL, nods to crisis on infinite earths...) but this event also highlights the reason that I generally don't read event books and their companions anymore: 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.
