We’re back again, and hopefully this week won’t be as traumatic as last week when Corey came back into the hatch and shot Mike. Now . . . wait . . . what do you mean it didn’t happen like that? Gotcha. Grading 65 final papers this past week must be having an effect. For those of you finishing up with college, congratulations! That’s our long-distance dedication; and now, on with the countdown.
INFINITE CRISIS #7 (Perez Cover) (May 2006)
Infinite Crisis #7
Review by Troy BrownfieldThe capstone of DC’s mega event arrived on Wednesday, bringing with it a number of mixed feelings. I’ve read various message boards, and I’ve seen that the feelings among fans run the gamut. Even among the Best Shots squad, there’s been some debate about the issue (for example, whose neck did Superboy-Prime break? Thank you, Matt Brady, for the answer of “Boss Moxie”). Some of us didn’t like it, some us had some serious questions, and some of us loved it.

Fantastic Four Visionaries: George Perez Vol. 2
Review by The Rev. OJ FlowAs a comic collector who really got started at the onset of the Eighties (and has historically had DC leanings), I can safely say that I have owned or at least read just about everything George Perez has done for the "Distinguished Competition." Redundancy aside, I would be all over some collections the company could produce, like, say, all of the work Perez did on Justice League of America. That was some tasty stuff, back when the uber-talented superhero artist did the unthinkable and split duties for a while on JLA and New Teen Titans. Like I said, I own it all, but some collected treatment like they've done for his time on Wonder Woman would be too awesome to pass up. In the meantime, Marvel Comics has come through with its second of two collections specifically geared toward Perez's time on the Fantastic Four in the late Seventies. Not all of it is specific to their own long-running title, but comics' First Family gets stellar treatment in this collection.
