Man, that starts rough both for the hapless reader and the universe. The Watchtower has crashed into the Moon, Martian Manhunter is supposedly dead and Wonder Woman just killed someone. And Blue Beetle is dead. And more stuff is piled on. The problem is that you come into it thinking that it's a self-contained story but, unfortunately, you either need the 1400 page omnibus edition (not available digitally) or read at least four or five mini-series to understand what's going on (and better yet, also read the original Crisis on Infinite Earths because it's a direct followup and there are a lot of characters from that one). I had to read up some wikis for answers and I'll just leave them here for the very needed context (it would technically be considered major spoilers for those series if you intend to read them but them again you need to read them before even opening this book).

The Watchtower has crashed in the JLA run with key final scene being that it was crashed by someone who looks like Superman. The single issue of the Countdown to Infinite Crisis explains how Blue Beetle died and that Wonder Woman kills the character that killed him. The Omac Project mini-series explains what are the Omacs and possibly the creation of Brother Eye by Batman. Day of Vengeance mini-series deals with the magic part of the event and Rann-Thanagar War mini-series name is self-explanatory. And don't forget the Villains United which shows how Lex Luthor creates his own Secret Society of Super Villains. Honestly I would love to see these collected in one or two "Road to Infinite Crisis" digital TPBs.

With that said, once everything becomes clear (either because you've read all of the above or checked out wiki), the book itself is amazing. Lots of narratives, epic scale and brutal fights depicted by amazing artists and dramatic storyline. After reading this I consider myself a fan of Geoff Jones now.

Loved Geoff johns writing. The story the art, I found it MUCH clearer and easier to understand and follow then crisis on infinite earth, not that I didn't like the just saying this was easier for me to follow, seemed more consicse and like johns knew where he was going from the second this was started. I'm already reading 52 which takes place during this crisis and then it's on to FINAL CRISIS, but loved the art the way he had all the characters act was great batman with brother eye, always planning but maybe not ethical or right but he wants to be prepared, i would think this would have made him more hesitant to use tech like that in the future but he's a gabillionaire he's been spying on people since before his parents got killed.

I hate cross overs, I really do. For so many years, there have been so many cross overs that promise to change the status quo of the universe they take place in and they hardly ever deliver. They all follow the same formula: a horde of heroes either face off against a horde of villains in a "final" battle, or a horde of heroes unite against a common threat that wants to wipe out said universe. Now, last year's Identity Crisis set the stage for things to come, as Elongated Man's wife Sue was murdered by someone in the JLA circle, and it was revealed that certain JLA members were involved in mind-wiping villains throughout the years, and even some of their own as well. Infinite Crisis picks up after the events of Identity Crisis and a number of lead-in mini-series', and comes on the 20th anniversary of Crisis on Infinite Earths, which was one of the few cross overs that actually delivered on it's promise and changed everything about the DC universe at the time. Fan favorite writer Geoff Johns, best known for his long run on the Flash as well as JSA and Green Lantern, is at the helm here with the great Phil Jimenez (New X-Men) providing the art; as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and the rest of the heroes unite as those thought long gone make a stunning return to make the universe what it once was: no matter the cost. The sacrifice of a hero and the tragic descent into insanity for a golden/silver-age icon are just two of the highlights of this collection. Now as I said before, I hate cross overs. But the way that Johns balances everything going on in this collected edition of the seven issue mini-series is simply amazing. The art by Jimenez isn't half bad either, actually, it's spectacular. The only real downsides to Infinite Crisis are that if you are in no way, shape, or form familiar with Crisis on Infinte Earths or the lead-in mini-series', well, you might be a little lost. Not to mention that you can tell Johns and Jimenez and co. tried to pack so much material into these seven issues that it just cries to be longer. If this was twelve issues, like the first Crisis, much more of the story would be more coherent. As it is however, Infinite Crisis is a rare treat in mainstream, superhero comics that tells an epic story, racks up the body count, and makes good on it's promise that the universe will never be the same.

5.0 out of 5 stars Talvez o melhor crossover da DC
Reviewed in Brazil on February 26, 2024
Esta saga é uma aula sobre como criar boas histórias e inverter alguns papéis de personagens sem desrespeitar suas essências e personalidades. Com exceção da personalidade e dos comportamentos de Alexander Luthor, todos os personagens são muito fiéis a lore que foi construída até então; Alex destoa um pouco, mas seu objetivo e essência ainda se mantém fiel aos de Crise nas Infinitas Terras, e de certo ponto a alteração na sua personalidade é até justificável;
A transformação do Superboy Prime por outro lado é perfeitamente cabível e justificável.
No final das contas temos uma boa história, bem concisa, com consequências e o mais importante: respeitando a "natureza" dos personagens e a forma como eles haviam sido desenvolvidos e apresentados até aqui. Uma obra que não só superou e muito a anterior como a homenageou decentemente, homenageou o primeiro super-herói e encerrou sua história e usou o que de melhor a DC tinha para oferecer até então e dá melhor forma possível dentro dessa proposta.

Ps: Essa obra matou bilhões menos do que Crise nas Infinitas Terras e ainda assim passou muito mais sensação de consequências devastadoras e impactantes.

Pra fãs de quadrinhos ou da DC vale muito a leitura, mas o ideal é passar pela sofrível e arrastada Crise nas Infinitas Terras antes para aproveitar esta ao máximo.

This great classic is the epiphany of greatness. Graphics are great, the story even more. I must admit that in moment the book takes a very violent and graphic grusomness. But the ends justify the needs. Loved it. Action, morality, justice, sad drama and above all recognition. A1

5.0 out of 5 stars Infinite Crisis
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 31, 2024
The Watchtower has been destroyed. OMACs are taking over the world and Wonder Woman's killing of Maxwell Lord has been recorded and is receiving wall to wall coverage on all news stations. The world has lost faith in its costumed heroes. But another Superman and another Luthor believe that it is time for their world to come back and save the universe.

A high impact storyline from Geoff Johns which clearly outlined the perceived problems with the comic book heroes being too dark and lacking in inspiration for readers. Here, readers get to see the paradigm being shifted as characters face up to their internal problems as much as the external ones, coming through the other side changed and hopefully improved.

The artwork is stunning and encourages the eye to look into the corners as well as focus on the focal point and to notice what is happening in the shadows as much as in the brightest light.

No puedo decir mucho ya que se ha hablado demasiado de Infinite crisis y han de saberlo, pero de la edición en Absolute si puedo mencionar que me he quedado alucinado.
El hard case (de cartón fuerte y macizo)esta perfecto, el libro es un oversized bien logrado y con calidad tanto en hojas como en impresión, los extras son la cereza del pastel(bocetos, notas, arte no ultilizado, variaciones de los dibijantes)
Todo en conjunto forma un absolute digno de biblioteca
Si lo puedes comprar no te podrás arrepentir
