Sooooo...
Is anyone reading Infinite Crisis?
My review of issue #1 is here: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.comicwidows.com/sweating/index.php?link=0058">http://www.comicwidows.com/sweating/index.php?link=0058</a><!-- m --> at the end of the article.
Infinite Crisis #2 however opened a whole new can of worms. Spoilers abound if you haven't read it yet, so take a care...
[spoiler]
I'm pleased as punch that Power Girl's true secret origin is actually her real original secret origin. And the reunion scenes between her and her cousin the Golden Age Superman were wonderful.
I loved that the Joker may in fact be the ultimate wild card and end up taking out Luthor and his Secret Society. Also the intimation that Booster Gold may have in fact stopped in the now before originally journeying to his first appearance in the 20th century blew me away.
The best part of the book however was the Earth-Two Superman explaining the history of the Multiverse and the creation of the post-Crisis Earth. Loved the bit where he says this new reality is flawed and has a corruptive nature - while the images shown are those of Parallax, 1-900-Robin, Bane, Doomsday, Artemis, Identity Crisis, the son of Luthor/Superboy, the murder of Blue Beetle and Wonder Woman's horribly out of character murder of Max Lord.
Now the bad news - that last page speech, a la Parallax, by the Golden Age Superman. Could the corruptive nature of the the post-Crisis Earth be affecting him? Man, I hope they're not prepping him to be the villain of this piece! [/spoiler]
