I love Xermanico's art so much - he has been working for DC for almost 10 years now
When our heroes saved the Muliverse from Perpetua in Dark Nights: Death Metal, everything was put back where it belonged...and we do mean everything. All the damage from all the Crises was undone, and heroes long thought gone returned from whatever exile they had been in. Most of them, at least. Alan Scott, the Green Lantern from the Justice Society of America, has noticed some of his allies are still missing in action, and he’s determined to find them. There are others, though, who would rather remain hidden than explain themselves, like Roy Harper, a.k.a. Arsenal, a man who should be dead but now is not. Plus, what does all this mean for more
Xermancio did something really cool with the art in this Infinite Frontier #1. When Flash makes it to Earth Omega, he meets a big bad who I won't mention, but his presence makes Flash cycle through different versions of this meeting that have taken place over the multiverse. Or at least that's how I interpreted it. Xermancio conveys this by illustrating in a different art style in each panel that passes. It's reinforced by different lettering styles as well. It was really well done and I'm not sure if I've seen something like that in a comic before. At least not anything I can remember. Read Full Review
This was exactly the kind of kickoff this event needed as it raises a series of questions while promising some big moments and surprises. The next issue drops in three weeks and I'm already set to start my countdown. Read Full Review
Combined with Xermanico's timeless art, Infinite Frontier #1 delivers a captivating adventure, one well worth the wait. Read Full Review
Infinite Frontier #1 is a love letter to the nearly infinite possibilities of the DC Universe, boasting a wide cast of characters and hinting at new paths for familiar faces. Given where the first issue leaves its characters, this is only the beginning of the journey. But it's a journey I am more than willing to see through to the end. Read Full Review
Fans of DC Comics should be losing their minds at the things happening in Infinite Frontier and the quality it brings to the table. Williamson and Xermanico seem to be off to the races with a better sense of the DC Universe than many creators in recent years. Now it's only a question of how these situations might develop, and what exciting developments they might bring us with these characters. Read Full Review
Multiverses are indeed the spice that provide the variety in comic book life. Read Full Review
Williamson provides an excellent balance of the old with the new in an easy-to-understand package. I can't recommend this issue enough and hope anyone whose been on the fence with DC COMICS as of late decides to jump back on board. I think you'll leave INFINITE FRONTIER #1 excited for the future of the company and I havent felt that way for a long time. Let me know what you think, have a great week, and God Bless!

DC Comics' big summer event kicks off in style with ‘Infinite Frontiers' #1 from Joshua Williamson, Xermanico, and Fajardo Jr. We get the return of Thomas Wayne – another Batman who never stays down for long – as well as the Golden Age Green Lantern, Roy Harper and many more, as well as a murder mystery for the Justice League Incarnate to investigate.

This new miniseries by Williamson and Xermanico isn't a traditional event comic"there's no earth-shattering threat yet"but it feels like the spine of everything that's been going on in the DCU and will feature a huge cast of characters trying to unravel its mysteries. Read Full Review
So much has been in the works for the DC multiverse since Rebirth and this series feels like a huge step forward in unravelling the threads that have been laid out. I’m so stoked to read more and can’t wait to have another issue in three weeks. Read Full Review
Infinite Frontier #1's slow-burn spooling of its myriad subplots may hinder it a tad when contrasted against the larger narrative, but make no mistake: this is a joyful celebration of all the things that make DC great. Read Full Review
The story is well told. Williamson writes a great script. The art is fairly good as well. It does all feel a bit half baked. I just hope that there are enough ideas put forth and good storytelling to make this a worthwhile journey. Read Full Review
Xermanico delivers some impressive and beautiful imagery throughout the issue. The characters look great, the mood of the story is brilliantly reflected in the art and there is a great energy to the imagery. Read Full Review
A strong kick off (well, after the #0 issue from March) to what promises to be an exciting miniseries. Read Full Review
Click on the above image to view the full-size page in another tab.The artwork by Xermanico is solid, apart from a few oddly thick outlines here and there, where the inks are strangely heavier for no apparent reason. The flow of the action sequences is fantastic, however, and the colors are suitably vibrant throughout.If you enjoyed Infinite Frontier #0, you'll want to continue to pick this series up. It's still unclear just where this story is going, but it's been one heck of a ride so far and seems likely to continue to impress. Thankfully, the great character scenes more than make up for the meandering pace. Read Full Review
Reading this book, I was a little confused by the timing if I am honest. Heroes from across a multiverse coming together to take on. a big bad does sound a tad like the recent Dark Powers Vampi book and it's sister book featuring Red Sonja. That said, I am not quite sure why, but I am quite hopeful for this little event. Maybe it's the lack of Batman for a change or maybe its because we will finally get somewhere with this whole multiverse bit that get us back Power Girl. Read Full Review
Final Verdict: It's a great story, although I feel like I've read it before. Read Full Review
Infinite Frontier #1 feels big, but a lot of that isn't because of the actual story, but the shock and awe of the moments. That said, those moments grabbed my curiosity, but I will need some more explanation and story for Joshua Williamson to get my attention going forward. Read Full Review
I actually enjoyed this one a lot. I find the complaining about crises cathartic, and maybe I shouldn't trust all the giddy feelings it gives me. I really just want an Alan Scott comic with his kids, if I'm honest.
Xermanico is a dynamo. Will definitely be a superstar in no time.
Williamson is going Morrison-lite, and its pretty great so far.
A REALLY strong start to DC Comics first crossover since the relaunch is happening. Great characters, great art, and interesting plot twists. This feels similar to Original Sin.
Good start.
I was really looking forward to this, but found it to be disappointing and nothing special.
Pretty mediocre, I liked the Roy part at the end and Thomas Wayne being back but other than that, the dialogue was bad overall and pretty stupid here and there, wasn't a huge fan of the art either. There's plenty of fan-service though. But I think given the huge scale of the story, this should've been better than this. And the fact that we're going to have yet another crisis coming after Williamson complains about this type of stuff in the book is pretty ridiculous on his part and shameful from DC.
They only throw things this series is so messy, redundant, it is notorious that they do not have much idea what to do with the characters and the story.
I was very amused to find Thomas Wayne in a capsule being found by a couple, superman type, in my head the idea that the couple adopt him for a moment.
Roy, well I think he's the star of this issue.
The only thing I liked was the part of Roy's intervention. Joshua feels a bit inconsistent or messy in this book, maybe the next one will get organized a bit and I'll bring something more concrete.
