INFINITE CRISIS #3 (Perez Cover) (Jan 2006)

Geoff Johns has once again turned in a solid issue. From the opening scene where Aquaman puts the Society on notice that he wasn't going to take any more of their guff (by shoving a spear through King Shark's chest, which I've always thought was a great way to let your enemies know you mean business) to the rather heart wrenching scene of Wonder Woman telling her sisters to go into hiding, Geoff gives us a roller coaster ride of a comic. This series continues to be a great mix of action, character, story and little fan moments that blend into a near-perfect harmony.
The scene with the Shadowpact was great, but that could be the unadulterated Superman fan in me loving that one page shot of Superman catching that building. This served to further the sense that Geoff began last issue regarding Superman getting off his ass and doing something productive. Geoff played him just right too. Superman came off as an example and pretty nice guy too, which is the best way to present the character because if he says or does too much, he comes off as kind of an overbearing, preachy stick in the mud. Also there was that kid finding Blue Beetle's Scarab, which should make this comic a first appearance if nothing else.
