Re: DC's newest Massive Cross-over
Posted by Guest on 2005/11/16 17:35:09
From the numerous articles that I've read on the subject, and the many, many interviews Geoff Johns and the rest of the Infinite Crisis creative team have given over the last few month, IC is supposed to complete the job that CoIE started but didn't have the support to finish.
Not only that, but the whole next year of DC comics is devoted to dealing with the aftermath of IC. Once the mini ends, EVERY book in the DC Universe is going to jump a year ahead in plot (save probably the Legion of Super-Heroes and Vertigo titles). A weekly series is then going to be released detailing exactly what went on during that particular week in the DCU.
I honestly feel that IC is going to have the biggest impact on the DCU and big comic cross-overs in general. Crisis had a massive impact, then the following "events" kinda sucked up until 'Identity Crisis', but Infinite Crisis has had more planning, support, and detailed direction than anything produced to date from any company.
Yes, DC is cleaning house with the deaths of minor characters, but they are also using the event to change other dynamics. The events leading up to the Crisis have already changed the way I personally see the "Big Three" and the way they will interact with each other. And let's look at these events-
1) The villains have banded together and are actually a threat under Luthor's leadership.
2) The Spectre is unleashed as only the Wrath of God can be unleashed.
3) There is a war in space that's actually a big bloody WAR.
4) The Green Lantern Corps has returned.
5) Basically, all hell's breaking loose and the Justice League has disbanded, J'onn's missing and presumed dead, and Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman can barely stand to be in the same room together.
All these events are already having an impact in the DC Universe, and the actual "Crisis" hasn't even gotten started yet...
Admittedly, I'm a DC guy. I don't read much else but the DCU, but I like what I've seen so far.
I'll stop ranting now.
