Evil Robby Rips Apart Infinite Crisis #7

| | Comments (0)

Power Girl's smashing breasts! Superboy's disgusting carnage! The wisdom of Bemzarro! Only a few of the many things awaiting you in Dial B For Blog's Infinite Crisis #7 and wrap-up review. As much as I hated Infinite Crisis #7, I loved this review. It made me laugh out loud and I couldn't explain to my wife what was so funny. I am almost glad this shit got published so I could laugh so hard.

Infinite Crisis 7: We'll Always Have Mogo

Spoilers ahead; I am going to blow away everything, droogies.

Alexander Luthor explains the new continuity. Wha Huh?
Thank God it's over! That's all I can say after reading Infinite Crisis #7. The final chapter has left the DC Universe an even more convoluted mess. The Justice Society now remembers fighting alongside the Golden Age Superman in World War 2? Superman was active before Metropolis, indicating some kind of Superboy\Smallville action? I always wanted these two things back, but on the same Earth, we start to have serious continuity problems. Two Supermen? Did Krypton blow up twice? What does the general civilian population believe? Maybe in the DCU, school kids get a lesson on the multiverses to explain the difference between the two Supermen. Jeez, I just think having multiple Earths would really make this whole problem go away.


The battle with Superboy of Earth-Prime was very confusing. The two Supermen have no trouble taking down Doomsday in a quick two-page spread, but their combined might can't finish off Superboy? Mogo is there to catch falling Supermen(I think the person who could have stopped Superboy instantly would have been Firestorm-have him create a ball of kryptonite with the right elements from Superboy's universe and it is over.) I don't understand why the Super Dudes fly through the remnants of Krypton and the Red Sun, without getting killed in space. Green Kryptonite is fatal to Superman and the Red Sun robs his powers very quickly, so why isn't Clark Kent a blistering corpse in outer space? This whole sequence had one redeeming feature: the appearance of Mogo from Alan Moore's classic short story, "Mogo Doesn't Socialize". Too bad about Superman 1, but I knew DC didn't want to keep him around. Leaving Superboy in that prison is just too convenient for another summer blockbuster.

ic7_flash.jpgThe rest of the story is just another marketing ploy. The characters are practically screaming: Buy 52! Buy Superman! Buy the rebooted Wonder Woman and Flash! And speaking of the latter, Rich Johnston really nailed this spoiler in Monday's Lying in the Gutters. I can't believe that the new Flash #1 is going to feature Jay Garrick for very long. Didio already said that the first Flash we see in that book may differ from the final Flash that takes over. Is it going to be Wally or Bart?

This is going to make one mess of a trade collection. How can anyone make sense of this mini-series without reading the tie-ins like last week's Villains United special, when the prison break-outs occurred? OK, I've expelled my crankiness for today, but I eagerly await Dial B For Blog's review. Nuff said.
