The Dawn Of DC is finally upon us. After the death and return of the Justice League in Joshua Williamson's Dark Crisis, Nightwing and the Titans become the premiere team in the DCU. Unfortunately, the target on their back grows larger and larger as the Titans settle into their new position. Forever & A Daze…
[SPOILER WARNING: This review will spoil the entirety of Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths.] Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths #7 is the final issue in what began as the Dark Crisis event - concluding every story thread that began with Infinite Frontier, along with establishing new setup for the tales to come. Written by Joshua Williamson and…
Dark Crisis: The Dark Army is the next entry in the current Dark Crisis event. Here it focuses less on the major players and world ending battle happening in the main titles, to a smaller team intent on figuring out a way to stop Pariah’s Dark Army. On the whole, The Dark Army is a…
Sorry, I will be your substitute reviewer until Nic returns! DC Comics expects readers to regard Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths as a significant story. It certainly has all the trappings of a major crisis event. Its pages tout large scale battles with heroes, villains, impossible machines, and other multiversal shenanigans. Even so, why does…
So I've finally sat down at my hotel in New York, New York. Casper and Cam are trying to order food, the rest of the Batman News team are sending their best wishes, and I'm recovering from the jet lag of three flights over thirty hours, which was delayed due to being stuck in customs.…
Damn it. Alright Flashpoint Beyond, back it up. You had me for a while here, but now you're really losing me. I can't in good conscience spend an entire review trashing Dark Crisis, and not subject you to the same scrutiny when you carry the same issues. Flashpoint Beyond #5 opens on a perversely funny scene, when it wastes…
My Dungeons and Dragons session got cancelled today, and I'm blaming it all on Dark Crisis. Oh, sorry. Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths, apparently. I find it funny how excited DC was to market this name change - before it even happened in the story, no less! It makes a gal wonder if I should bother using a…
I'd like to begin this review by asking who enjoys this book, and why. It's not like I think Dark Crisis could not possibly have fans. In fact, I envy those who are fans of this book - I'd love to find joy in this event, to be invested in the characters to the point where…
[Review is currently without visual aid; images will be added as soon as possible.] I like to put a level of creativity in my reviews - but normally, that's kind of contingent on the story encouraging a creative response. Like Dark Crisis #1, issue #2 does little to convince me such effort is necessary. There's good stuff…
You know, it's funny. I've spent so much time discussing Dark Crisis in my reviews leading up to it... that by the time the event has actually arrived, I feel like I have nothing more to say. I think the book's content - or lack thereof - speaks for itself. Dark Crisis #1 sets the stage…
Hey guys, and welcome back to another issue of Justice League-- No, wait. That doesn't sound right. Let me double-check something... Okay! Good, I was worried for a second. Last month was definitely the final issue of Justice League. Clearly, there must have been a printing error. Let me check the cover again. ...Weird. That's for sure the Justice…
Ah, screw it. Spoilers, I suppose. I was going to write a long-winded analogy about something fun I could compare this book to, but it's not worth my time. This book isn't fun - why should I pretend, even for a moment, that I'm having fun discussing it? Let's get into one of the worst…
Hey guys! Nick here. Yes, I know this is Cam's account, he's right next to me. See, Cam and I are working together on today's review. You might be surprised to see a review for these books go up - you'd think after all this time we just would have skipped them. However, we have…
