i just felt the whole book was a very forced and rushed sum up of the enormous hype and what not.

i still don't understand why earth-2 superman wasn't fuckin shit up left and right. isn't he the planet-moving sunhumma bitch? how was current-superman even coming close to holding his own against or with him?

and why the fuck would batman pull a gun on alex? why was there a gun there for him to grab, and then why would the most anti-gun person in comics hold that up to luthors face instead of ... oh, i dunno, a whole buncha punches? a kick? smoke pellet in his nose? teabagging?

and wondie proves her point by... dropping her fragile sword?

argh.

and who the fuck is the batman beyond looking chick in the lower right of the final spread?

and is that the new martian manhunter suit? cuz it, too, sucks!



I have to agree. It just left me with an empty feeling. Not in the emotionally sorrowful way, either. But, just...."meh". And, while I was reading it, the only thing I thought was "What the Fuck?"

There was no impact. No climax. All the dialogue and point of the story was either beaten over our head with literal meaning, or, was simply just there. WTF??

Everytime it seemed like the story might go somewhere, or, take on a real life, or, take a real chance.....Johns quickly reigned it back into simplified mediocrity. WTF??

Where was the "shocking deaths"? Connor?? Really? That's it? Well, what happens if you never gave a shit about Connor in the first place? What then? WTF??

Also, can someone explain how in the FUCK Nightwing survived that blast to the chest? Anyone? One panel he's laying there bleeding all over everything....next, we see he, Tim, and Bruce setting off on their Gay Cruise. WTF??

How did Superman lose his powers? Kryptonite exposure? For a fucking YEAR? WTF??

Wonder Woman's sword can carve atoms in half, and cut Superman's hands....but it breaks when it hits the ground from a simple toss? WTF??

Deathstroke single-handedly beat Batman down a few years ago, and slaughtered the JLA in IdC, but, in here, Bats, Robin, and Nightwing take him and tie him up off panel?? WTF??

So, instead of allowing the Golden Age Superman....the first superhero ever....his much deserved 'Happy Ending' from the original Crisis, Johns digs his body up, shakes it around alot with hollow dialogue for this mini, and then has him die a completely pointless death at the hands of a teenager??

W T F ? ?


What a sad, pathetic, pointless, and superbly uninspiring miniseries this turned out to be. Bad enough the art was so half-assed and uneven.....but they couldn't even have had the balls to do ANYthing worthy of using the name "Crisis"?

Pathetic. This truly seals it. Geoff Johns is a talentless hack. He now ranks up there with Jeph Loeb as being nothing but alot of unimaginative hot air. I now pray for the day he leaves DC Comics....
