Infinite Crisis #6
INFINITE CRISIS #6 (Perez Cover) (Apr 2006)

Alexander Luthor continues to try to create the “perfect Earth” with the help of Brother Eye and the heroes whose power he has tapped for his tower. Meanwhile, the Supermen of Earth-1 and Earth-2 put aside their differences to fight for a common cause, while the Superboy of Earth-1 and the Superboy of Earth-Prime, who has managed to return to wreak more havoc, simply fight — and this time, it’s to the death.
There’s one heckuva lot going on in this penultimate issue of Infinite Crisis, so don’t feel inadequate if you find yourself getting lost. Hell, the busy art layouts are enough to induce that sort of confusion, let alone a script that’s choc-a-bloc with this and that happening. The fault for the business of the layouts cannot be laid at the feet of Phil Jimenez, Jerry Ordway, George Pérez, and the eight (!) other artists charged with bringing this epic to the printed page. Writer Geoff Johns has given them a lot to illustrate and keep clear, so it’s no wonder when some of the most interesting bits get lost in the shuffle.
