Infinite Crisis #4 was the most action packed issue to date. We witnessed the following:
- The fate of Wally West and Bart Allen.
- The masterplan of Alexander Luthor.
- Why the magic was stolen in Day of Vengence.
- How the OMACs went berserk.
- Why the Villains got United.
- Secrets of the Rann-Thanagar War's Vortex.
- The storm over Bludhaven.
- Batman working with Dick Grayson to bring the heroes back together.
- Superboy going apeshit and losing control.
- The new host for the Spectre.
- The re-emergence of Earth-2 (my favorite moment).
I loved it, with some minor quibbles. Alexander Luthor is a hero. Can he run for President in 2008? Anyone who can outfox the magical heroes, Batman, the current Lex Luthor, and figure out how to build a pitchfork in order to bring back Earth-2--has gotta be the smartest man alive. And the luckiest.
The whole sequence with the Flashes had me on pins and needles. It's obvious that Wally doesn't die, he just goes somewhere else. Earth-3? Bart definitely has to take over. The Superboy battle was a good way to clear out some bottom-tier characters that no one likes. Goodbye, Wildebeest! I'd like to see someone compile a body count.
Just what did Alexander Luthor do to pass the time since the first Crisis? Read his blog here. I think it was Brokeback Mountain that finally caused him to break out of his prison. Nuff said.
