Agree. The Tom King train-wreck served nothing but to perpetuate misery. No actual interest in topic of justice. This is a sci-fi book, but at least everyone does not have to be evil.
President Superman finds himself in the wrong world, and it isn’t looking good. Bones and Chase attempt to stop super-powered heroes and villains from crossing Multiversal lines. If they can shut down the President of Steel, they think that it will serve as a signal to all to not mess with Earth-0! This is only a distraction, however, as Injustice Incarnate begins to show them the worst the Multiverse has to offer, and only Flashpoint Batman is there to lend the heroes backup.
Infinite Frontier #4 is another great issue of this event miniseries from Joshua Williamson. Even though I, like many readers, have been suffering from event fatigue, it hasn't lessened my enjoyment of this event. I am really looking forward to getting into the major confrontation that Williamson has been setting up over these first four issues. Read Full Review
It's a broken record at this point to say that every DC fan should be reading this book, and that Williamson and everyone else working on this book is absolutely killing it. They've proven at this point that no one will be able to predict what is next, but whatever it is will be awesome. Therefore readers should give themselves every opportunity to be a part of the ride.

It still doesn't feel like enough story to warrant three artists. Paul Pelletier takes most of the issue. Pelletier is a very competent artist, but his style is a bit too smooth to work in this darker, more mysterious story. Xermnico and Jess Merino also provide art for this issue. Read Full Review
This is more character-driven than many events, but it still feels every bit like an epic multiversal crossover. Read Full Review
This issue proves that this has the potential to be among the classics of DC Comics events. Read Full Review
Moreover, Williamson is attempting to do his part in redirecting/ fixing Thomas Wayne from his Tom King BATMAN experience. Sadly, its best if fans just forget that Thomas Wayne had anything to do with that entire run. And, I think Williamson understands that fans werent thrilled with FLASHPOINT BATMANS role in that outcome either. Hence, it looks like Williamsons mission is to acknowledge what happened in Kings BATMAN run and move past it like Jeremy Adams is doing in THE FLASH right now with Wally West. Read Full Review
This is another good issue of Infinite Frontier that explains some things we've already seen while setting up what should be an action-packed second half of the series. Read Full Review
Infinite Frontier #4kicks off the miniseries' second half, as the various characters are drawn together by Darkseid's machinations. With two issues left, all of the characters are gearing up to take on the Lord of Apokolips-but his end goal, as well as who survives the encounter, remains to be seen. Read Full Review
This one is for long-time fans who love DC's rich Multiverse. Read Full Review
Infinite Frontier #4 begins to draw the various plots together as we get the return of Infinity Inc. as well as the debut of Justice Incarnate's biggest threat. Read Full Review
Infinite Frontier is beginning to gel its narrative at last, as all the various plot points begin to entwine. If you've been holding off from this comic due to it seeming to be yet another DC multiversal crisis, now's the time to check it out. Especially given that final page... Read Full Review
The story by Joshua Williamson is fairly good. There seems to be more weight in this issue than previous ones. The artwork is very good as well and it really keeps things moving. Overall, this is very well done and I am enjoying the book as a whole. Read Full Review
All of the artist do amazing work with the visuals in this issue. There are some great action moments and the Calvin/Thomas moments are some of my favorites visually. Read Full Review
For a rare change, something to read that is not totally grim, depressing, and horror-filled. So it is a rare enjoyable read from DC Comics.
Now of course they are not going to defeat Darkseid.
And of course they won't wrap this up in 6 issues.
That is why they are going to have a follow-up series Justice League Incarnate.
It might turn out to be the only DC Comics series that I follow.
But at least it was nice that Thomas Wayne's character has been recovered somewhat from the train-wreck that was Tom King's writing.
This is a lot of fun. This feels like the DC I've only read bits and pieces of, but always tend to enjoy a lot more. Pre-New 52 DC.
Characters feel very human in this place. The DEO is starting to feel like there is a lot of complicated factors because no one seems to be communicating. Especially since Bones doesn't appear to be the person we think he is at all. One character is driven by her trauma of losing her Earth and is taking her frustrations out on the wrong people because "Bones" is leading her astray.
Finally I sense an authentic drive that comes from writers fatigue. Crossover events getting in the way of development and dynamics, and the desire to stop them because people are genuinely getting sick of them. Which is pretty tragic considering the company these creatives work for don't seem to ever be willing to compromise or find new strategies. Ev more
No way they mentioned my boy Telos...
Loving everything about this book. Williamson is catering every element of the story to stuff I love about DC. Beyond happy that Justice Incarnate is getting spotlight these past 4 issues, and Injustice Incarnate entering the scene is going to be fun as hell.
Theories on identity of X-Tract = maybe an Armageddon 2001 displaced Dove? X-Tract vs Extant?
I have been enjoying this series, I think Joshua Williamson does well at making the dialogue better and Its great to see Flashpoint batman admit he was crazy. Plus I like the cliffhangers in each issue. The art has effort and there's something new in each issue.
This continues to be fun and fan-servicey and we got hints to some answers this issue too, pretty good overall. I also like how Thomas Wayne's character is being fixed after King's horrible mess.
This series has been great so far, it's given the spotlight to many lesser known/ basically obsolete characters and has been an amazing palate cleanser after the insanely bombastic and tiring Metal series.
What annoys me is that it's obvious this story is just setting up for an event next year. There's no way this story will be resolved in 2 issues and I know I will be mad about the inevitable cliffhanger ending.
"You are always Batman"
So the fixing of Flashpoint Batman continues.
