Infinite Crisis Omnibus (New Edition)

Product Information

Infinite Crisis" is a 2005–2006 comic book storyline published by DC Comics, consisting of an eponymous, seven-issue comic book limited series written by Geoff Johns and illustrated by Phil Jimenez, George Pérez, Ivan Reis, and Jerry Ordway, and a number of tie-in books. The main miniseries debuted in October 2005, and each issue was released with two variant covers: one by Pérez and one by Jim Lee and Sandra Hope.

Countdown to Infinite Crisis. What better way to begin a sequel to Crisis on Infinite Earths than with a big one-shot that highlights Blue Beetle and Booster Gold, two of the core members of the JLI, one of the most memorable and unique comics to come out of the original Crisis? Originally introduced in 1967, Deadman was a circus performer known as "Boston" Brand who was murdered while on the high-wire. In the afterlife, a mysterious being known as Rama Kushna gifted his spirit with the ability to possess the bodies of the living so he could discover the identity of his killer and bring him to justice. Featuring spectacular art by Neal Adams, José Luis García-López and others, these tales take Deadman across the DC Universe in search of justice. This Omnibus starts out with the OMAC Project mini-series... Without going into many spoilers, I will say that it was 'OK' in execution and mildly entertaining. It did help setup the Infinite Crisis storyline which you won't get to until reading through some Villians stuff (decent), some magic stuff (ok if only for the interesting characters), suffer through the (awful) Rann Thanagar intergalactic war.... I'm still not sure why they even bothered with that storyline. Perhaps hard core DC fans appreciate it. A number of series were cancelled with the "One Year Later" jump. Some ended outright, like Batgirl, Gotham Central, and Batman: Gotham Knights, while others were suspended and restarted later with new volumes, notably JLA, JSA, Flash, and Wonder Woman. Additionally, Adventures of Superman returned to its original title of Superman, while the book that had previously been coming out as Superman since 1987 was canceled, thus making the Superman line's two books, Superman and Action Comics, match the Batman lines Batman and Detective Comics (in addition to the shared title Superman/Batman.)

This JSA spinoff written by Geoff Johns is 90% wrangling Power Girl continuity, and 10% prelude to Infinite Crisis. It doesn’t feel relevant initially but becomes a clear tie-in as it progresses, and is likely the biggest oversight in the collected omnibus edition. Counting Down in the DCU with Dan Didio".

Customer Reviews

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.

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. This book was such an awful contrivance, neither placing this stories with the mini-series that they completed, nor with the Infinite Crisis that they interweaved with. Thank goodness that there's now an Infinite Crisis Omnibus that puts them in their correct places. Still, the stories tend to be overbloated sideshows in the Infinite Crisis story whose best feature is highlighting the miniseries that flowed into the Crisis.

Success!

La Trinidad destrozada desde adentro, tendrán que cerrar filas para enfrentarse al nuevo mal, a varios heroes que sacrificaron mucho en su antigua realidad y que ven con tristeza que su sacrificio en la Crisis original fue en vano.

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. Reading Identity Crisis before Infinite Crisis is a must. It would even deserve to be part of this Omnibus.
