Who had a GREAT costume. So I'm sure DiDio just decided to recycle that.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and SOME GUY in issue 2 is the Mad Hatter.Dr. Zoltarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03068769831770098813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2555405196944746092.post-45774318369888615082008-08-08T21:05:00.000-07:002008-08-08T21:05:00.000-07:00I should not admit this, but I totally didn't read...I should not admit this, but I totally didn't read your review at all... but I enjoyed the pictures.<BR/><BR/>A lot.<BR/><BR/>I assume that still counts.qtillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10341878873082776791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2555405196944746092.post-25568549262965970022008-08-08T20:34:00.000-07:002008-08-08T20:34:00.000-07:00Final Crisis reminds me of 7 Soldiers a lot.

After it's all done, Comics Should Be Good will do an in-depth retrospective of how awesome the God of Comics is and I'll feel like an idiot because I "didn't get it".Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01310108261072524244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2555405196944746092.post-88868817680974569862008-08-08T19:40:00.000-07:002008-08-08T19:40:00.000-07:00That was hilarious.

This ISN'T a trade. I realize that it eventually will be one and that the majority of people through the years will only know it as such but for now, it's a series of single issues that haven't made much sense. (Yet)<BR/><BR/>Look, if you're going to put out a series of single issues, then write towards that purpose. If you are writing for the trade, then put it out as a trade. It's incredibly frustrating to read an issue and not understand what the hell is happening and then have to wait thirty days to have the same thing happen!<BR/><BR/>Worse than writing for the trade with this series is the fact that it's a retread story. Not to beat a dead horse but both The Death of the New Gods and Mary Marvel goes bad girl were done already and I don't care who's fault it is (*cough* DiDio *cough*) but we've already seen this story and it wasn't that interesting then either.<BR/><BR/> The saving grace on the book has been the art. Especially the covers. Did you see that Supergirl cover on the new issue? Yummy! ;)<BR/><BR/> The best thing to come from the 3 issues of Final Crisis thus far? That's easy. The in depth Olympics coverage, of course!Darth McQuinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03907250980737862987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2555405196944746092.post-71435807829233891842008-08-08T15:09:00.000-07:002008-08-08T15:09:00.000-07:00Frankly, I think it has glimmers of fascinating br...Frankly, I think it has glimmers of fascinating brilliance and absolutely no follow-through. I really liked issue #2, and I guess I "understood" what happened in #3, but let's just say I'm giving it a very huge benefit of the doubt that there will be a fabulous payoff, and if there's not then I will be very sad. Also, this has every opposite problem from Secret Invasion imaginable. When I think about how opposite their approaches and flaws are (because their concepts certainly aren't opposite), my head almost explodes.<BR/><BR/>But anyway, I hugely appreciate your very funny and involved recap, and I'm glad you did it and not me :).Eviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11054771346933091142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2555405196944746092.post-15395699520836428322008-08-08T14:55:00.000-07:002008-08-08T14:55:00.000-07:00Okay, wow that was fucking hilarious and awesome a...Okay, wow that was fucking hilarious and awesome and excellent.<BR/><BR/>Where to start, well how about with Mary Marvel, I think it had to be her because she was so ridiculously wholesome before. Like June Cleaver with super powers, if Darksied can turn her into a S+M Death Knight, he can turn anybody.<BR/><BR/>The Pictures were an amazing touch and added a lot of funny to the review. I can't even pick an overall favorite but, Code Black, Mr. T, Mr. Rogers jump out to name a few.<BR/><BR/>Really a great job here, I can tell how much effort you put into it. Hopefully this can bring it together enough for some people to get back into the Final Crisis.Mike Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16613018407883090887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2555405196944746092.post-41671699729395459882008-08-08T14:41:00.000-07:002008-08-08T14:41:00.000-07:00I suspect it took you twice as long to format this...I suspect it took you twice as long to format this post as it took you to write it.<BR/><BR/>The one BIG thing I take from this is that I clearly need to re-read #1 and 2 before I read #3.<BR/><BR/>Great re-cap and review!Elwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00025147948683497899noreply@blogger.com
