With the last installment of Dan Abnett’s prequel series to the Infinite Crisis video game, we see a prime example of something that was intended as an explosion, only to die a whisper.  Where Injustice can be seen as the pinnacle of a comic book/video game crossover series, this is what not to do.  No…

The Lord hates a quitter.  That’s most of what I think when I see this book pop up in my monthly queue, and I face the inevitable task of reviewing it.  Now, if there’s one thing this book has proven to be, without purpose would be a good way of describing it.  The story is…

Another month gives us another attempt at accruing support for DC’s latest computer title, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse.  In an attempt to match up with the likes of Dota 2 and League of Legends, DC decided to take creative iterations of heroes and make them battle to the death.  Following Dan Abnett’s multi-universal…

Every time I review this book, it reminds me of that Daniel Tosh bit where he keeps the joke going and going until there’s just one person in the audience laughing.  Except no one here is laughing.  Dan Abnett is doing his very best with the limited story he’s given, which is thread-bare at best. …

After using the hard copies for the last few reviews and a number of conversations with other readers and community members, I decided to take this issue into three parts using the Digital First issues.  The good news was that I enjoyed this issue far more than the previous three; the bad news being that almost all the…

I’m just going to jump into this.  You know that whole Doomsday fight that was dragged out through last issue and then promised in this one?  That’s solved in about three panels.  Then it’s two more pages of fighting and 25 pages of talking.  And I’d be cool with that if this were, say, Batman,…

Quick question, and please be honest and forthcoming.  Do any of you care about this book?  Or rather, do any of you out there read this book?  I haven’t seen the numbers for this series’ sales or for the number of consistent subscribers to the video game, but I went to my local comic store…

The past three issues for Infinite Crisis had been a steady climb of improvement, taking interesting iterations of familiar characters and throwing them into a who’s-who battle royal.  We saw heroes and villains from Earth-Prime, Arcane Earth, Nightmare Earth, Gaslight Earth, and Atomic Earth all battle for control of a super weapon.  It was a…

Where the last two issues have been rather jumbled and spent more time explaining and less time showing any really crisis, this latest issue of Infinite Crisis is focused in a good way.  We are given a sense of actual progression through the story, and we’re presented with an action-filled and entertaining romp through the…

Maybe all it takes is a change in the media form to convince me that this book still has some sort of pulse.  Perhaps I have been tricked by the pixelated convenience which is Digital First issues, or, hopefully, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse has taken a turn towards being an acceptable book to…

This is probably going to be a long review, because I feel obligated to explain the backstory and some of the worlds that are involved in Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse.  The first issue of Infinite Crisis is comprised of the first three digital issues, each with their own Earth and storyline.  To make…
