Napolitano   ⋅ ⋅  Editors:  Jeanine  Schaefer /   Eddie Berganza  ⋅ Continued from  Infinite Crisis #6 We start with a one page summary of Conner's death and old Superman lamenting how he was fooled to pick the wrong side, this include's Pee Gee asking about Lois though we don't get to see her full reactions (though to be fair there is a crisis going on). We don't have much time though as all the villains are attacking Metropolis, in an amazing two page splash. We then get a few pages of various fights, with a little housecleaning...

Touchdown Infinite Crisis #6 Cover Date:  May 2006 Released:  5th April 2006 ⋅ Writers:   Geoff Johns  ⋅  Pencilers:  Phil Jimenez / George    Pérez / Ivan Reis   / Joe Bennett   ⋅  Inkers:  Andy Lanning /       George Pérez / Ivan Reis / Jerry Ordway / Sean Parsons /    Art Thibert  ⋅     Colourists:  Jeromy Cox / Guy Major / Tanya    Horie / Richard Horie   ⋅  Letterers:  Rob Leigh   ⋅ ⋅  Editors:  Jeanine  Schaefer /   Eddie Berganza  ⋅ Continued from  Infinite Crisis #5 We start with a slightly freaked-out Blue Beetle taking Batman's crew into space, onboard the Bug, with Booster trying and failing to calm down Jaime, so badly that Batman, BATMAN!, points it out (he's trying okay). In a weird opening, we have a call back to Hal and Ollie's Hard Travelling heroes days, as Hal is apparently whistling Take ...

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 fr...

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 ...

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 ho...

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...

We start with Superman freeing Darkseid from the Souce Wall, the end of the universe that tends to trap those stupid enough to try and pass through it. Darkseid, being Darkseid has been in this kind of mess before. Also being Darkseid he rewards Superman's rescue, apparently due to the instance of Metron, by emb...
