Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths #6 is a powerhouse of a penultimate issue. It carries with it so much expectation and delivers wholeheartedly. Read Full Review

Dark Crisis On Infinite Earths #6 is fantastic, and thats all there is to it. Williamsons twist has made this a different story than what everyone thought, which is a great thing. Sampere, Sandoval, and Sanchez kill it on the art, something a book this action-heavy needs, and Peteris letters do a wonderful job of delivering the dialogue in the best way. This issue wont win over the naysayers, but theyre missing out on an amazing comic. Read Full Review

Josh Williamson has been building to this story for years, and while it definitely has a different pace than other line-wide event, it's no less thrilling. Read Full Review

Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths #6 is grandiosity incarnate. The story booms with excitement and the stakes feel pretty high. While I'm not thrilled with DC's reversion to an Infinite Multiverse, I have enjoyed the ride so far. Williamson's script is heartfelt and thrilling. Sampere's art is fantastic. These two individuals make for a great team and therefore a great book. Read Full Review

Sampere and Sandoval deliver some great art throughout the issue. The battle scenes are visually thrilling and there are moments that perfectly capture the tension of the story itself. Read Full Review

The big battle is there to test the next generation of heroes, and when you see how far one will go to save the day, you'll know that kid is doing a job meant for Superman. Daniel Sampere brings so much to each page you'll want to savor the experience and awe at the DCU in action. Read Full Review

Dark Crisis #6 is as fun as this event has been. Fans of Jon will feel rewarded for their commitment to the character. Read Full Review

The big finale cliffhanger also feels insignificant for an event of this scale. It really seems like the lack of rich connections to the ongoing DC titles ultimately proved too much to make Dark Crisis as important as it should have been. Maybe Williamson can nail a satisfying ending, but it likely won't mean anything by this time next year. Read Full Review

Dark Crisis On Infinite Earths #6 has everything that you look for a big event. There are massive scale action sequences that get over the scope of this event. There is a race against the clock as things grow more desperate on both sides. All of that makes for a great comic book. But even then, there are things missing that make Dark Crisis #6 miss the mark on being a complete reading experience. These missing element causes certain plot developments of this story to be rushed as we head into the ending. I'm still excited to find out how Williamson and company will end Dark Crisis On Infinite Earths but this is definitely not a perfect event. Read Full Review

Jon Kent didnt need to prove himself to the readers or his dad. And frankly, hes not Superman nor will he ever be. But, he CAN be an outstanding hero of his own. The same goes for Jace Fox as Batman and Yara as Wonder Woman/ Wonder Girl. Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths #6 felt like someone passive-aggressively telling me what I should like and why. And because I simply cant shake that feeling, on top of the other items mentioned earlier, Im going to go with a strong pass on Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths #6 this week. Let me know what you think, have a great week, and God Bless! Read Full Review

Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths #6 is another hollow spectacle in a series full of them, trying to simultaneously establish a new DC Universe without establishing an emotional or thematic reason for fans to care. The reveals are telegraphed and unimportant, as theyre repeatedly undercut in an attempt at a metacommentary on the nature of the crisis, speeding through the plot without really engaging with the various beats. In a massive, universe-spanning event, Dark Crisis could have used a true five-footer issue, where characters could pause and regroup after the relentless plot and provide emotional context and reinforce the human-level stakes of the series. With only one issue to go, one can only hope the dawn of the DC Universe is brighter than this crisis. Read Full Review

Much like my review, Dark Crisis is conceptually the babysitter that throws a house party. I expect you to take care of the house and the children, not play beer pong with my vases. Williamson just wanted to play in the DC Comics library, but nobody asked him to do this. A responsible custodian takes care of the intellectual property in their care. Unfortunately, they butchered the Justice League and nerfed their sidekicks and allies to make three new characters look good for a few panels. It is a gorgeous looking book, but I doubt it will be worth it in the end. Read Full Review

There is a very nice moment where Superman the elder jumps in to save Jon from being killed by Doomsday.  So maybe it is all over? Pariah is gone.   Read Full Review

I note that: John Kent Superman takes his responsibilities fully and delivers a beautiful fight with a lot of self-sacrifice (worthy of his Father). That the madness of Pariah should have been more exploited because it is interesting.) That Batman Jace Fox makes an appearance (it was time) as well as Yara Flor. The new trinity on the march? At least the premise. And after this event, what I hope this young generation takes over for good. And I'll even forgive DarK Crisis for being so disjointed. I'd love to see Nightwing be a staple of the future. It would be a just reward for a character so underused even in this event. It took him 5 issues before he woke up and started the revolt and now, well, we don't know. Deathstroke seems to have defeated him. Seriously, if it is to end up saved by the other heroes, what a misery. In short, I think that 7 issues is too short for an epic story that should change the DC universe, especially since no ongoing series has really been concerned. Ties-in are often criticized for breaking the rhythm of an ongoing story but at least they flesh out the "Story" of the year. Not here. Nobody wanted to be in it. And you can feel it. It's a shame.

Great cover. Pretty great art. Decent story.

Really did enjoy this issue. Great action art and story. Feels like a crisis event. Let's hope the event sticks the landing

Its got really great moments. The final splash page is pretty lame though.

The best issue so far, hands down. Finally the action that was needed for this to be a crisis.
Everything with Jon was the highlight for me, and now it's fair to call this an event about legacy. I still have some problems, like how Pariah and Deathstroke are used to coment on fanboys who think that everything in the past was better and who hate legacy heroes, feels somewhat shallow and unecessary since we already had a similar thing with Superboy prime. Also, not a fan of some of the dialogue, specially moments like Nightwing trying to talk with Rose but I think it's fair to let that slide. As a Deathstroke fan, it pains me to see what is being done to the character but since we're almost at the end I don't care anymore. This was easily the most fun issue. more

Jon Kent stuff was the best part for me.

This rating is solely on the artwork. It feels so rushed but the writers attempt to put some minor characters often left out into the spotlight. What was promised to be delivered the last issue was only delivered this issue which was really odd. To the reader, it makes sense to expand the series out into a 12-issue maxi-series if they can't deliver everything that's promised.

A couple of great moments. Probably the best Jon Kent moment ever, it takes things established about his character since Tomasi and even the first issue of this event, when he was thought as incompetent by Black Adam. I Guess proving himself is really important to Jon. It just feels in character and satisfying, while also being very inspiring and heroic moment.
But as a whole this issue and even story is messy. Williamson tries so many things, too many things. A lot of stuff is rushed and just falls flat, because it's just thrown out there. Sometimes it works on the smaller scales, as i said with Jon or even Oliver, but at times even those fail, plus building a comics on good unrelated character moments is not the greatest strategy for me at least, especially when with a event as big as this, with so many other characters thrown in. I guess if he has more space, he would do better, but in this penultimate issue it's obvious that he does not have time to resolve all in the best manner possible and to make the whole thing cohesive.
This is what i imagine if someone says modern super hero comics and not exactly in the good sense even. It's a mess, tons of homages to older stories, mostly for nostalgia sake( which is the cheapest thing in every comics writer sleeve), very very action oriented and at that not very smart action, unremarkable dialogue, but at least it's pretty to look at in the more traditional sense. It's safe, that's what i mean, even the art, which at least is well done but safe, the other stuff is just safe with too much in it and sometimes corny. It's just a Popcorn event comics. And the ending was just laughable. more

nice art
