Director Bones opens up his classified records to give us all new stories about the players in INFINITE FRONTIER. First up, President Superman from Earth 23, asking the question: can the hero who has time for everyone ever find time for himself?

Boomerang Lastly, we have a story about the Psycho Pirate by writer Dan Watters and artist Christopher Mittten. This is an awesome last story and I love the ending. Read Full Review
The Calvin Ellis story was strong enough, that it did not need the Department of Extranormal Operations (DEO), AND Director bones stuff. Nonetheless, if you want to give someone a quick into who is Calvin Ellis (Suerman0 this is a really good place to start. Read Full Review
This is a good anthology with multiple must-read stories. Infinite Frontier: Secret Files is a great way to experience different versions of familiar heroes, or heroes we never get to see at all. More importantly, it reinforces the idea that the multiverse is filled with incredible tales and heroes -- we'd be dumb to think one universe was ever enough. Read Full Review

Infinite Frontier: Secret Files #1 is a fascinating concept containing character-driven stories. While some may not have the strength or engagement as others, all of them are engaging and fun to read. The biggest downfall is that they may not connect very well together inside the same large book. The transition between stories can be disorienting, and without content or preview page at the beginning, the reader may not know what they are in for. Read Full Review
The issue itself might be a bit much to ask with a $10 price tag, but there are definitely some gems to be found in this 80-page giant, though I think it might have been easier to swallow with a smaller page count. Read Full Review

I enjoy anthologies, so this kept me entertained throughout. Highest marks are for the Psycho Pirate story, as I've found him to be possibly one of DC's scariest villains, and making him a human witness to multiple realities and universes, a meta character, is a very cool concept. I'm intrigued if DC does carry through and make him a New Gods level threat as they promise here.
I mean... good for him?

Just kinda boring, but it wasn't bad. Not much to say.
