Bursting at the Seams
By: KURT AMACKER(excerpt)
Amid the chaos and sh-t blowing up throughout much of the issue, their meeting is both touching and tragic. Superman confronts Batman, showing him the dark shadow of a man he’s become. At the same time, he offers to save him with the misguided idealism of the Earth Two heroes. It feels like two trains about to collide, and you know that everything can only end in tragedy.
Phil Jimenez and CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS penciller George Perez join forces on this issue, and they create a complex, stunningly detailed milieu. God help you if you haven’t kept up thus far in this series, because there’s almost too much happening -- both visually and narratively. Amazingly enough, Geoff Johns and the editorial staff at DC have managed to keep this from falling apart into a convoluted mess. Those that have kept up for the past year or so will find this issue compelling and, ultimately, rewarding. Those that haven’t, uh, I guess should borrow a huge stack of books that starts sometime last year. Thus far, it’s been worth it.
