Overall, IC #6 is the best issue to date. Its also the toughest one to review. I felt after issue #4 that Geoff Johns had hit the pinnacle of the series. This issue proved that wrong. While that issue and this both have received the highest bullet rating we can give, I would have loved to go much higher. Right now I feel like Nigel Tufnel saying we should go one louder. Heck with it, this review goes to 6 Bullets. One louder. This issue is deserving of it. Man, what a ride! Read Full Review
Infinite Crisis may not go down as the greatest event story of all time, but its probably been the most explosive, dynamic and surprising event of the last year. The fruits of the Countdown are in full bloom. Read Full Review
Bad things happen this issue. But this time theyre earned, and appropriately devastating. Read Full Review
For the first time in recent memory, a mega-event lives up to the hype, and the cascading effects generate new excitement. Infinite Crisis succeeds on every level. Read Full Review
Infinite Crisis is a big, giant, incoherent, wonderful, silly mess. I cant help myself, my fanboy passion kicks in whenever I look at this comic. It needed eleven artists because this comic would have killed only one. Infinite Crisis is truly the spectacle so large that even George Perez, the Hercules of crowd scenes, needs ten collaborators to illustrate this book. I love InC for that. Read Full Review

I can't say that I enjoyed Infinite Crisis, but I can't say that it hurt me either. It's Big. It's Stupid, and it's forgettable. It also doesn't seem quite so momentous as DC made it out to be, but I have become numb to such time-share sales talk from DC. Infinite Crisis seems to do nothing more than preserve the status quo: one earth, one moon, I'm assuming one sun, the same old heroes and likely the same old problems that could have been fixed had all the editors of all the books simply gotten the writers to do better jobs and called them on the many continuity errors that erupted basically from the get-go.

This series started off in something of a wretched state and as its gone on, its shaken itself apart like a Trabant doing the Paris-Dakar Rally. Except that would be more interesting than this pretentious and unwieldy mess. Ignore this and just hope that the 52 and One Year Later stuff is better. Read Full Review
The one problem with Johns’ writing is that he incorporates way too much violence into his stories, which is a genuine shame because he writes great dialogue too. I don’t know how I feel about Johns turning Superboy Prime and Alex Luthor evil. One of the best parts about Alex during Crisis on Infinite Earths was that he was the one Luthor who was a good guy. Superboy’s death was heartbreaking. Although Johns doesn’t always seem to understand Batman, he once again nails the dynamic between Bruce and Dick
