In a weird opening, we have a call back to Hal and Ollie's Hard Travelling heroes days, as Hal is apparently whistling Take me out to the Ball Game, as multiple Earths crash into each other. It's weird if it's about the chaos outside, less so if it's about life going on regardle

Faith Infinite Crisis #5 Cover Date:  April 2006 Released:  1st March 2006 ⋅ Writers:   Geoff Johns  ⋅  Pencilers:  Phil Jimenez / George    Pérez / Ivan Reis   ⋅  Inkers:  Andy Lanning / Jerry Ordway /    Art Thibert  ⋅     Colourists:  Jeromy Cox / Guy Major /    Rod Reis  ⋅  Letterers:  Nick J. Napolitano  ⋅  Editors:  Jeanine    Schaefer /   Eddie Berganza  ⋅ Continued from Infinite Crisis #4 We start with something completely unexpected, a discussion with Ragman (who's Jewish) and Mister Terrific (who's an Atheist) about faith. Now as the all-powerful reader, as I'm sure Morrison would put it, we know that everything is true in the DC Universe (with a very western Christian bias), but for the characters within the DC Universe, this is how they experienced the universe. If you want to get super deep we know Superman-2 is wrong but from his point of view everything he's actually right. Or at least at until this point, as at the end, he'll realize that he's

Homecoming Infinite Crisis #4 Cover Date:  March 2006 Released:  18th January 2005 ⋅ Writers:   Geoff Johns  ⋅  Pencilers:  Phil Jimenez / George    Pérez / Ivan Reis   ⋅  Inkers:  Many,  Many Hands  ⋅     Colourists:  Jeromy Cox /    Guy Major  ⋅  Letterers:  Nick J. Napolitano  ⋅  Editors:  Jeanine    Schaefer /   Eddie Berganza  ⋅ Continued from Infinite Crisis #3 *Deep breath*  A lot happens here, but it's all based around three main stories. The first is around Bludhaven, Nightwing's little Gotham where he's been playing around in for a while, being destroyed by Chemo, a giant plastic blob filled with deadly corrosive chemicals. Apart from destroying the city, a lot of housecleaning is happening here, the main thing is that it distracts some of the big heroes, like SUperman as the other stuff is going on. We also get bridges mended as Batman admits to Dick that he's been, well a dick, and whilst not apologizing at least asks for help from Nightwing to try and sol

Divine Intervention Infinite Crisis #3 Cover Date:  February 2006 Released:  21st December 2005 ⋅ Writers:   Geoff Johns  ⋅  Pencilers:  Phil Jimenez / George    Pérez   ⋅  Inkers: Still  Many Hands  ⋅     Colourists:  Jeromy Cox /    Guy Major  ⋅  Letterers:  Nick J. Napolitano  ⋅  Editors:  Jeanine    Schaefer /   Eddie Berganza  ⋅ Continued from Infinite Crisis #2 So we start in the flooded city of San Diego, yeah remember when San Diego was a sunken city inhabited by Atlanteans? We get a quick fight between Aquaman and Mera against Black Manta, which is good as they happen to be the only Aquaman characters I actually do know! And no Aquaman is a cool bro badass, Superfriends was never really shown here, so I never thought of Aquaman as just the man who talks to fish! Anyway, this doesn't matter as the Specter, still unhinged without a human host just straight out destroys Atlantis before he and the plot moves on. We then cut to Paradise Island, the caption calls it that, the

The Survivors Infinite Crisis #2 Cover Date:  January 2006 Released:  9th November 2005 ⋅ Writers:   Geoff Johns  ⋅  Pencilers:  Phil Jimenez   ⋅  ⋅  Inkers:  Many Hands  ⋅     Colourists:  Jeromy Cox / Guy Major  ⋅  ⋅  Letterers:  Nick J. Napolitano  ⋅  Editors:  Jeanine Schaefer /     Eddie Berganza  ⋅ So I'd like to say that this was planned, what with (as of writing) we're halfway through the most recent Crisis, Dark Crisis (of Infinite Earths), but basically the JSA comics heavily rely on this crossover, so we're bringing this one forward! To sum up issue 1 the DC universe is falling into chaos, the Trinity (Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman) are fighting over recent actions, including Wonder Woman killing Maxwell Lord live on television.  Watching from their crystal world the Earth-2 Superman and Superboy-Prime (last seen from Crisis on Infinite Earths) are dismayed at how the heroes are handling their universe, so punching the crystal wall Superman frees himself t
