While Ezekiels revelation is somewhat contrived, this issue marks the conclusion of one of the longest planned arcs in the books history. Its not perfect, but it is good enough and a good act for John Romita Jr. to bow out on. Good-bye JRJR, youll be missed!

Another interesting twist the Sins Past storyline, however it appears that this entire arc could easily fall into boring and pointless ground. The issue is solid enough and does further the overall plot, however there really isnt anything that would attract the attention of a non-Spidey fan.

Are you an X-Men fan? Are you a Whedon fan? Are you a comic fan? Are you alive and breathing? If you answered 'yes' to any of these questions you have to pick up this book, no debates and no maybes. It is a great start to what will no doubt be a landmark X-Men run.

Another great entry in Whedon and Cassadays blockbuster book. While certain X-Man fans may have some problems with where they think the story is going, Id still recommend this to them as I think they will end up being surprised. As for casual comic book fans, this is an excellent time to jump into the world of the X-Men -- clear, concise, and entertaining. A great story that promises to lead to some big stuff.

Great stuff all around. Excellent use of pace and mounting tension to convey some nicely compelling scenes. This books got it all, comedy, action, and a mystery that gets larger and larger with each issue.

From the writing to the art to the respect this title shows towards the history of the character, there really isnt any better way to do a Conan book. If you are at all interested in the character, or just looking for a great adventure, pick this book up. You wont want to put it down.

Another great installment in one of the most entertaining titles out there. In this issue we get action, excitement, and loss -- if youre a fan of Conan, or simply adventurous storytelling, you should definitely try this book out.

One of the best monthly books out there. It is already starting to cause some waves amongst readers and if Busiek and Nord can keep this up, look for those waves to reach tidal proportions in the future. This issue provides us with a gripping story of revenge, and an interesting peek at the next major arc. Pick this book up, you wont be sorry.

A great side-story that lets us witness the moment of Conans birth; a bloody, dirty, battle-marked day. This is an excellent issue that begins a six-part arc for the book that serves as a Conan origin story. The only bad part is that we will have to wait months for each new installment -- by Crom, cursed are we!

A very average book. Decent story, and decent artwork, but I wouldn't recommend it to anybody other than the hardcore Conan fans. Everyone else, stick to the monthly title -- it's significantly better than what we get here.

While I wish theyd just given the whole thing to Azzarello, I am pleased with this issue overall. I would recommend picking it up, if only because it is something you rarely see from a comic book company: respect. It is touching to see that DC is doing its best to honor a man that helped create the company, and the worlds and characters we have all come to know and love. Ellison writes: He was a Living Legend. He told me so himself. And how could I doubt anyone I loved so much?

This is, if nothing else, a great comic book.

The dialogue is crisp and the pacing quite cinematic. All in all, this series is turning out to be quite the pleasant surprise and I cant wait to see what we get next.

Overall what Im really enjoying about IDENTITY CRISIS, other than the above-average art and writing, is the varied looks we get into these heroes lives. Personally, I dont know too much about the JLA and their wide assortment of associates and this is sort of like a history lesson and interesting story all in one. This issue isnt as good as the first, and is about on-par with the second. Nevertheless, it is still a very solid installment in this excellent summer event. Bring on issue #4!

Overall I would say that this is probably the weakest issue in the mini thus far, but that is still saying a lot. This is a very interesting and well-crafted series and now that were half way through I only hope the latter half of the story will prove to be as engaging as the first half

An issue that is important solely for its last two pages, this one isnt very spectacular. Especially considering the fact that the first time Gwen died, it was a meaningful and painful death; this one is far too pointless and forgettable. RIP Gwen. See you in the pages of Amazing.
