DC: Final Crisis
 

From the company that bought you

Crisis on Infinite Earth
Identity Crisis
Infinite Crisis

And more crisises than you can shake a stick at comes.

Final Crisis. Personally, I am really excited for this. As long and as drawn out as this may be. (Started way back in 04) it has been a fun read with a few minor hiccups. Looking at you Countdown.

And it all begins today with a 50 cent (yes 50) comic called DC Universe 0

Re: DC: Final Crisis
 

can i read this without reading the countdown? cus i dont wanna, and why is superman wearing a legion of superheroes ring?

Re: DC: Final Crisis
 

You can read this issue with Countdown. The series hasn't started yet so don't know if you can read Final Crisis.

As for why Superman is wearing a flight ring, someone hasn't been reading their Superman comics recently. ;)

I've been playing around with DC a little lately (Marvel is a primary universe of choice) but I find the concept of trying to absorb the nuances of a completely different mythos daunting to say the least. Its tough enough trying to keep up with Marvel (mainly through Wikipedia) and my Indy comics.

Re: DC: Final Crisis
 

no i havent kept up with superman, shit i havent read almost anything after one year later, so please do tell.

Re: DC: Final Crisis
 

The Superman title's main storyline has Superman facing off against a time traveling magician named Arion, who says that Superman is delaying an eventual catastrophe and that he is preventing humans from acting to protect themselves. Arion tells Superman to stop his daily activities of saving people or else Arion will stop him.

From Wiki.

I haven't read.
But apparently the last few months Superman has been in the future with the Legion.

WW cover...creepy.

Re: DC: Final Crisis
 

I know probably only one reading this along with Danny.

But Final Crisis: Requiem just came out today. And a hell of an issue. You don't even have to follow Final Crisis to understand it. Though it gives away a scene in Final Crisis 1, which you could guess from the end of this comic.

Anyhow, it is like Civil War: Confession. In that it is more story driven then action driven and don't want to give away too much, but I recommend a read.

Re: DC: Final Crisis
 

Why are there guys on there that look exactly like Marvel characters. I see a dude who looks exactly like Dr. Doom, one who looks exactly like Wolverine and one that looks exactly like The Thing.

Re: DC: Final Crisis
 

Haha, upon closer inspection the Dr. doom guy is the Green Arrow. Oopsie.

Re: DC: Final Crisis
 

Just read Final Crisis - Requiem.

Time for some memorial oreos.

Re: DC: Final Crisis
 

OKay, I think the Dr. Doom is closer to the Spectre, but eh.

I know who referring to for the Thing but no idea who he is.

But can you point out which one is Wolverine? :lol:

just under supe's left leg

Re: DC: Final Crisis
 

Picked this one up yesterday but have not had a chance to read it quite yet.

Will probably do it before bed

Re: DC: Final Crisis
 

I figured there is already a thread in the comics forum, but going to re-read this in Morrison's order to see if it makes more sense in the gran scheme of things.

So here comes issue 1....

Re: DC: Final Crisis
 

Okay technically Bruce Wayne is "dead" so that image still works. The persona will live on though.

And the vampire came from Superman Beyond, its the ultimate evil, but it gets worse he only exists because people believe he exists if you don't believe he exists, he vanishes.... or what I gathered.

Re: DC: Final Crisis
 

So he's like Tinkerbell? Clap your hand if you believe?

Re: DC: Final Crisis
 

I think that's what happens.
May need to re-read it since got 3D glasses now.
I can get 4D vision.
