There's few moments in recent history that shattered DC's positive reputation they've gained with Rebirth. Batman #50 was an absolute disaster, and in general, King's Batman series has been very polarizing, just like Bendis' takeover of Superman comics. And then there's Heroes in Crisis - a study of failure, an analysis of writing incompetence, so despised by fans, it has become a joke comparable to DCEU's Martha scene, or Joker and Harley having scribbles tattooed on their faces. The entire event, from its beginning, to its end, was a trainwreck - not just poorly written. but also boring and tenseless. It took few things that made Rebirth such a success, and crashed them one by one.
If you look for intelligent, character driven short se
ries, look elsewhere. Doomsday Clock or Batman White Knight coming to my mind instantly. If you look for something more action oriented, look no further than to Dark Nights Metal. Heroes in Crisis is just plain garbage with no redeeming qualities other than art, and maybe the initial concept, which to be fair, sounds pretty cool on paper. Too bad its execution made the entire event a complete failure, one of the biggest abominations I've got displeasure to witness in years. more
