…about Infinite Crisis.<\/p>\n
1) This is basically a blowjob to the original Crisis, right? And to all the fanboys who love their multiverse and the Silver Age? Written and orchestrated by a cabal of slavish devotees to the Silver Age?<\/p>\n
Then why is every character from the pre-Crisis and Crisis era such an asshole? Alex Luthor, Superboy Prime, Superman of Earth-2–they’re pricks, to a man.<\/p>\n
2) What the hell do these people have against the Giffen\/DeMatteis era Justice League? Blue Beetle gets his brains shot out, Maxwell Lord becomes a malevolent bastard, Fire gets bitchy (and soon will become a throat-slitting secret agent, in Greg Rucka’s Checkmate series), Booster Gold’s written as a moron. I half expect G’nort to be the manipulating force pulling Alex Luthor’s strings, and that he’ll reveal himself by taking a steamy dump on Oberon’s forehead.<\/p>\n
3) A one-shot? Four lead-up miniseries? A seven-issue main series, an assload of crossovers, and four one-shot specials to follow up on the lead-up miniseries? Necessary? Really?<\/p>\n
