Infinite Frontier shows how to a massive small scale event book with significant repercussions throughout the DC Universe without tying up every other title. This has been a very fun ride and it keeps building well from one issue to the next. Read Full Review

Now that the lingering questions of Infinite Frontier are beginning to be answered, it's becoming clear how stunning and well-executed this event really is. Read Full Review

Infinite Frontier #5 gathers all of its major players and a few new faces from the Multiverse, leading to a final showdown on Earth-Omega. With only one more issue to go, the first major event of the Infinite Frontier era is looking to end on a high note. It is also cementing Williamson as DC's newest go-to writer after Scott Snyder and Brian Michael Bendis. Read Full Review

This series is getting better by the issue. Read Full Review

The epic feeling is back. Williamson furnishes answers, intrigue, and a unique storyline that feels significant. The cast of characters front and center in this week's INFINITE FRONTIER #5 provides a refreshing touch that DC COMICS has been missing for quite some time. Sure, some of the explanations seem a bit forced BUT we finally get legitimate reasons that kind of make sense (kind of). So far, INFINITE FRONTIER continues to keep my attention while providing that classic foundation that literally built the company and drew me to comics in the first place. Read Full Review

Infinite Frontier continues to be one of the best books coming out from DC Comics right now.  Joshua Williamson gives us some explanations, action scenes, and character moments that had me wondering which side I would pick if I were involved.  The art wasn't as good as it's been, but this is still a hell of a ride that every DC fan should be reading!

It's a twisty issue that delivers some great shockers and sets up a compelling final battle. Read Full Review

Each of the artists brings some great visual flair to the issue. There is a lot going on in every panel, but the art is laid out in a way that feel inclusive rather the intrusive. An enjoyable range of images throughout. Read Full Review

Infinite Frontier #5 moves the needle forward on what the post-Death Metal DCU looks like, and it's rife with meta-commentary that has, at this point, become as much a part of DC's history as has its heroes. There's a slight feel of repetition at this point to DC's conveyor belt of crises, but it's obvious that this series has an intentionality and deliberateness to it that proves DC isn't just spinning its wheels. What does its future look like? Infinite. Read Full Review

Joshua Williamson did the best job he could I feel but there isn't a lot that makes this a classic story. I feel that this will just end up having very little impact on the DC Comics line as a whole. Read Full Review

This is a ton of fun and I really haven't experienced a modern DC event that is fun (Metal and Death Metal tried and failed), so I'm maybe more giving with the score for this one.

I enjoyed this issue however the art is noticeably different which honestly kind of sucks. But all in all I enjoyed this issue because Roy harper is a standout and the pacing is great, the action is dynamic, the characters and dialogue are in character, and I like how this issue criticizes event fatigue and reboot addictions.

Sounds promising

I like the prominence they have given Roy, the narrative is not bad, but it also feels like something very exhausting now that it seems that the canon was destroyed and at the same time not. The references to the disastrous Metal, putting together all the versions of the character when there are many disparities.

So much of the art is just not good. They story is decent.

I still like this and I enjoyed the explanations we got but something didn't particularly click for me here, Darkseid doesn't feel as big as he should feel and even in the context presented here I don't feel like so many people would fall for Darkseid's plan.

Reviewing the penultimate issue of the Infinite Frontier limited series and I'm honestly still not sure what we're trying to accomplish here. I shouldn't be cheering on the villains this much, especially when they haven't really done anything other than want to protect their own universes.

I don't see the hype about this. It's okay, it's well made and well paced but it completely lacks any sort of emotional core/depth for me to be invested in this story.

The characters lack so much oomph here, I don't see myself rooting or caring for any of them. And I get it, it's supposed to be "the return of the Justice Society/ Incarnate" but I need a bigger reason than that for me to be interested in this event and its surrounding characters. This event needs more than "oooh all the old characters that diehard comic fans loved are coming back!!!" I mean okay? Why should I care about them? They barely mattered for decades before only showing here and there in prior crises. The secret files weren't enough either, I need context, I need characterization, emotional moments. But this event has none of it, it's basically all the characters saying the same thing different ways. We get it, you were forgotten when DC rebooted and you don't know shit and Multiverse was a mistake blah blah. Infinite Crisis did that better because it focused on Superboy Prime and his "family", they already did the "multiverse fucked with our lives" story better. Get some new material, in fact stop this multiverse/cosmic business for at least a year, it's not even been 8 months since Death Metal. Also unless Darkseid gets some much needed depth or a series surrounding him I will never care about him as a villain.

If there's one thing the highly flawed Metal series did right, it was fleshing out villains. I liked the BWL series, I enjoyed the Justice League leadup talking about Perpetua and her sons and Lex Luthor's inner conflict. It was well thought out, there was plenty of characterization, plenty of emotional investment, twists and a story that felt like it moved along.

This series could be 2 issues long and we wouldn't miss a thing. I didn't even care about that heel turn the robot guy did, it's all just middling. Unless Thomas Wayne does something I don't care. He's the only thing I sort of care about in this, the rest are basically background fodder to me. We all know Clark, Bruce and Diana will clean up house next year anyway aka the characters that actually matter.
