Infinite Crisis Collected Edition Corrections & Changes Annotations
by Andrew Dowdell Oct. 10, 2006 7.14.25pm
The title of this article is a bit misleading. I have no intention on writing annotations for all seven issues of Infinite Crisis (although I did take a stab at issues 6 & 7, from which I am still recovering…). But if a lot of people beg and plead a lot, I may be swayed to reconsider…
INFINITE CRISIS HC (Oct 2006)
No, what I realized, upon reading the recently-released collected edition of DC’s mini-series, was that there are a great number of additions, subtractions, and changes to the story. Lines of dialogue altered, artwork tweaked, whole pages added, and a really cool surprise at the end of the story. In short, enough reason for me to break out my issues of Who’s Who and my magnifying glass and get all nit-picky.

Okay, the two-page spread of the heroes of the DC Universe by Joe Bennett in IC #7 was good. Not great, but good.This one, by George Pérez, isn’t great. It’s absolutely fantastic. Bennett’s depicted 85 heroes…the new one showcases 116. And the one thing that Pérez does, better than any other artist, is that he not only can draw an army of characters racing towards you, but he also grounds them in the same plane. They interact. Fly together, race one another, climb on one another’s bodies. It’s not just a flat piece of artwork. Rather, it’s a true snapshot of these characters.
