DF RATING: 9/10
BY JOE TARABORRELLI
OK Kids – Class is in session! I would like to welcome everyone to DC’s Crises 101. We have a lot to cover so if you wouldn’t mind please get ready to take notes.
INFINITE CRISIS #2 (Perez Cover) (Nov 2005)
I will admit that I never read Crisis on Infinite Earths. Now before everyone starts throwing stones and screaming “blasphemy”, I’ve done my research and I have a basic understanding of what has transpired in the past. However, some of the congestion and confusion still hovers. Infinite Crisis #2 is the perfect point for anyone to hop onto the current storyline. This is the issue which will slowdown, and BREAKDOWN, the congestion that is the past 20 years of Crisis storylines as well as progressively moving the Infinite Crisis storyline along with the origin of Power Girl – FINALLY! The issue opens with Donna Troy’s call-to-arms heading out to Animal Man where he ominously points out that every animal on Earth is drastically trying to escape the planet.

As I said, if you were nervous to be jumping into a book where the basis of it was established 20 years ago… don’t worry. Everything you need to know and get you up to speed is handed to you in the smooth rolling Johns’ script. The past is explained with the present is quickly moving forward. Johns’ script is also highly accentuated by Jimenez’s pencils, which are on par with the original artist of Crisis on Infinite Earths, George Perez.
