The Infinite Crisis Thread (SPOILERS)

[Kane]

Ya Im sure he meant The New Batman Adventures.. it was an error on Didios part but he was refering to it being inspired from some animated version.

[The BatDude]

Huntress is in Checkmate?
is this mentioned in the new Checkmate series. i have it, just haven't gotten to it yet.
and WTF is JLI?
JLI = Justice League International

[The Caped Knight]

I WANT WALLY WEST BACK ... AS THE FLASH DAMNIT . :mad:

[Calendar Man]

Why is The Penguin in Arkham? He's not insane. He goes to Blackgate.

[Binker]

Where is the proof/source where it says Birthright will be repalced? Also, any idea on who, what, & when on the new origin story?

[ToddIsDead]

It's all from Dan Didio's mouth. Apparrently from a panel at Toronto Coic-Con I think.

[Binker]

Diana has to be Wonder Woman. From those two covers, she has to be. I believe he said that to throw people off. You people agree?

[Assassin]

that robin thing i've been saying since the first pic came out

[ToddIsDead]

We all have...

It's blatantly obvious.

[Assassin]

lol you'd be suprised to hear about all the ppl that said i was wrong lol

[Darthphere]

I dont see why theres hate on Elseworlds now?

[Binker]

Correction: I checked IGN's weekly gallery of whats gonna be released this week. IC#7 is gonna come out. The finale is a day away.

[The BatDude]

yeah IC #7 comes out May 3

[Assassin]

I'm still torn on which cover I'm going to get.

get both

[The Ether]

Yeah, I might have to get both also for the first time

[Speedball]

I'm getting the Jim Lee one, i've got all of the covers drawn by him.
Green Lantern(Hal Jordarn) is my Favorite superhero, and this cover is a must for me.

[Pksoze]

I made Jim Lee's my wallpaper so I'll buy the Perez version.

[TheCorpulent1]

That's a good idea. I should make Perez's my wallpaper, and then buy the Perez cover as well. :up:

[Assassin]

i'm getting both, like always.

why? becaue i have 2 jobs and i deserve to spend some extra cash on my self instead of gas to drive to school

[Assassin]

****ing gas

[Gambits' Ace]

Definately picking up the GL cover, lee's covers have been kick ass all through IC and he hasn't disappointed me again

[The_Mystery]

George Perez is THE BEST superhero artist in the biz. Period. Jim Lee and Phil Jimenez both stand in his shadow.

[Guyverjay]

That's a good idea. I should make Perez's my wallpaper, and then buy the Perez cover as well. :up:

Bleh... Lee's is better:o

[TheCorpulent1]

Not to me. :p

[Guyverjay]

You should get the cataracts sorted out:p

[TheCorpulent1]

If they give me a greater appreciation for classic art over flash, I'll keep them. :)

[ToddIsDead]

I'm leaning more towards the Perez cover now. I may end up getting both though.

[The_Mystery]

I like Jim Lee, but even he has admitted to being a "disciple" of Perez's. The problem (and it's a small one) with Lee, as well as Phil Jimenez, is that their artwork isn't as fluid and graceful as George Perez's. They have the detail down pat though.

[Green Lantern]

You should get the cataracts sorted out:pPerhaps we like our Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent to have facial differences other than the glasses :o

[The Ether]

Too save money I'll just do a coin toss to pick which cover to buy,

[TheCorpulent1]

Perhaps we like our Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent to have facial differences other than the glasses :o
Perez is great with faces. The only one of his faces I don't like too much is his Thor. The button nose just isn't what comes to my mind when I think of a badass storm deity.

[Fledermaus]

That's exactly what I though when I saw the cover for JLA/Avengers 1
"What the f**k is wrong with Thor's nose?"

[The_Mystery]

That's exactly what I though when I saw the cover for JLA/Avengers 1
"What the f**k is wrong with Thor's nose?"

S'funny, thats my only complaint about Perez. Although he nailed Thor with the "Ultron, We would have words with thee" panel from the Ultron Unlimited storyline.

[BlackOpsTengu]

Ha ha, the idiot fanboys on the DC forums are having rage tantrums on the spoiler reports. That means it must be good! :D

[raybia]

Superboy had to die. His very existence was problematic. He just didn't have a future in the DC Universe but he died being what he was created to be: a hero.

Next of the list: Wonder Girl.

[sinewave]

What are you, GAH's second-in-command or something? How did Superboy not have a future in the DC universe? Any character can have a future in the DC universe. Besides, the current Supergirl's existence is far more problematic than Superboy's, but they're making that work.

[The Leaguer]

He just didn't have a future in the DC Universe
Um... you remember that story Titans Tomorrow? That was actually about his future in the DC universe.

[raybia]

Um... you remember that story Titans Tomorrow? That was actually about his future in the DC universe.


I know, and it was a cool story, but unfortunately, that is a future that would never happen because DC refuses to age the characters.

Actually Supergirl's existence is pretty stupid. Kal-El was suppose to be the last survivor of Krypton.

That is like Bruce finding out that his parent's didn't die, but are part of the witness protection program and faked their deaths.

[The Leaguer]

No they don't, they just aged everyone a year. :confused:

[The Ether]

I know, and it was a cool story, but unfortunately, that is a future that would never happen because DC refuses to age the characters.
Not really, Robin is becoming a little more like Batman, Wonder Girl's powers come from Aries which maybe one of the reasons why his statue was there in the future. And Superboy is a clone which there is a big possibility(which I don't want it to happen) he can come back.

[raybia]

No they don't, they just aged everyone a year. :confused:


The main characters never age so junior characters like Robin will never become full fledge adults.

[The Ether]

They do age, you don't get grey hair when your in your mid thirties.

[raybia]

They do age, you don't get grey hair when your in your mid thirties.


How old is Batman, Nightwing, Robin?

[TheCorpulent1]

Someone just made a thread on that. I think the general consensus seems to be that Bruce's about 38, Dick's about 26 or 27, and Tim's 17. Bruce started at 25 and Tim started at 13, but I'm not sure when Dick started. Here's the thread:

Does anyone really think that Bruce and Clark are going to be allowed to age to 48, 58?

Does anyone really think that Bruce will be allowed by DC to eventually be permanently replaced by Tim or someone else?

DC will reboot the entire Universe and start over and introduced revised origins before they'll let their flagship characters age to be elderly.

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, so? I still don't see how that means none of the characters have a future. It just means they won't succeed the flagship heroes and take over their identities. Nightwing seems to have gotten around that just fine.

[BrianWilly]

It takes a while, but they get there. One of the things I'm most proud of DC for -- as opposed to, oh, some other comic book companies -- is how effectively they've aged their young heroes. Did you know that of the original Teen Titans, Dick is the only one left who hasn't had children yet?

DC will reboot the entire Universe and start over and introduced revised origins before they'll let their flagship characters age to be elderly.Maybe. But who knows what the future will be like? In fifty or sixty years, is anyone still going to be clinging desperately to an image of Clark Kent as Superman?
What does that have to do with Superboy, anyway? He could be a completely valid character without ever having to replace Superman.

[raybia]

I never said that none of the characters have a future, I said that Superboy didn't have a future. (By future, I mean to where the character becomes popular enough to escape the shadow of Superman and carry his own series and become a flagship hero.)

[TheCorpulent1]

That's a big assumption to make based on virtually nothing. Besides, he wouldn't necessarily have to be able to carry his own solo series. He was a Titan. That's been enough for Arsenal, Donna Troy, and Tempest, more often than not.

We will never know, but he with the name Superboy and a Superman clone in every sense of the word, he would have always be in Superman's shadow an unnecessary.

I just think the (continued) existence of a Superboy (and a Supergirl) weakens the Superman mythos.

[Purple Man]

If Superboy is pointless then so is the entire legacy of the Teen Titans.

Teenagers can't relate to adult characters like Superman, Batman or Wonder Woman, but they can relate to Superboy, Robin and Wondergirl.

I hope there will always be the Teen Titans.

[Green Lantern]

The main characters never age so junior characters like Robin will never become full fledge adults.Junior characters like say... Dick Grayson? Barbara Gordon? Roy Harper? Donna Troy? Garth? Wally West? Dig up some Titans comics of the 60s, they were all in their early teens. Now they're in their late 20s; NO they didn't age AT ALL.

[cerealkiller182]

^^^^BUt they will prolly stop there. If they get any older, they would be Superman/Batman/etc. ages, and that cannot happen cause I dont see the writers getting rid of the Title characters.

Which mean Tim and the others wont age cause they'll get to old to the old sidekicks.

[The Ether]

This is one thing I like about DC. In Marvel only people on top of my head that grew up would have to be Spider-man, and Kitty Pride thanks to Astonishing X-men. I don't know exactly though.

Here's Lee's cover, there's also George Pérez's variant for it.

me too, lol i'm gtting knots in my stomach

damn it i read some spoilers :(


i cant stop

[Assassin]

I read mogo's name some where in the spoiler, i'm not saying what happens but he is there!

make me stop!

Those spoliers are so tempting. It's taking all my strength to not look.

I don;t get to buy mine until free comicbook day.:( I bet all the civil wars will be gone too.

[Pksoze]

Well one more day for me anyway. :)

What amazes me about this is that this type of event can never be done again. This is an epic the likes of which we probably won't see in this lifetime. If it is done it won't be a good or creative. Bravo DC.

Well never say never... but this is the best mainstream epic DC has ever done imho.

I will see what tmrw brings but for now I view this series as superior to the original Crisis in characterization,drama, and even scope.

[BrianWilly]

I didn't read the spoilers, but I think it's really funny how they seem to make people very excited and happy on this forum and yet on another forum I lurk at it made everyone pissed and ornery. Goes to show just how polarized the fandom can be.

Just finished IC 7
and heres my reveiw...

****ing Awesome!!!

[lceman]

Just read it. Now first thing I have to say is well done DC. I have to give it to Johns. Well done. I am extremely please with this but I do have 2 small issues: THe lack of Ion once he changes over and the disappointment of the Doomsday return (Could of been done better). Still with those issue an incredible read and can't wait until I get home and read it again.

[BlackOpsTengu]

Pretty funny, just read a pet peeve someone had with the 'science' of the issue, i.e. super breath in space shouldn't work! ... Except that Kara used that exact same power in COIE in the exact same circumstances.

Just goes to show you how your focus determins your reality.

I like that scene, show's how strong E2-Superman is by catching Doomsday's punch with one hand.

[Darthphere]

Hey, **** the spoiler tags I dont have time to be highlighting stuff.

[Ultimate_Superman]

I loved this issue finally we get some bad ass Superman moments. Though I wonder will we ever have a crisis where the Super-Family doesnt save the world.

what is the death count now anyways?

[lceman]

I guess after his big return I just wanted more. I understand the purpose of it just was looking forward to a little more action between the two. I guess they just did not have room to show it. Too much to cover with the precious few pages Johns had. Since they did not hsow him dead there will probably be a return battle with Doomsday not too far off. Also just seeing supreboy cut the :supes: into his skin is a great touch. This is not the end of SBP.

[Doc Destruction]

All I can say is...

http://pksmetal.com/forum/images/avatars/gallery/avatar4.gif

Holy hell...just astoundingly good. The last several pages are sooooo damn good.

[Banshee]

Loved it, for some reason especially the part when Martian Manhunter said "take to the skies"... Oh yeah, and Gardener calling SPrime a cry baby.


Honestly though, I thought today's issue of Titans was just as good. Enjoyed that a hell of a lot too.

I don't remember how to do spoiler tags so my bad... those arnt really big spoilers anyway.

[raybia]

When was #7 released?

[Ultimate_Superman]

Today

[Fledermaus]

I read it. I'm not going to say anything, except
I don't think Montoya is Batwoman. Batwoman is a redhead! And it looks like Freddy Freeman is the new Captain Marvel and Shazam(billy batson) new outfit loks sweeeet.
the spoilers that UltimateBatman posted earlier were pretty much dead on. I'm in the process of scanning the two page spread of a lot of new heroes. I'll post it son if nobody gets pissed

[Ultimate_Superman]

I like the fact WW is using the jet again.

[amazingfantasy15]

Great end to a great event! I haven't read any 1 year later titles yet (bought 'em, but letting 1st arcs accumulate before I read), but it seems to already answer some of the questions lurking out there. My personal favorite part of the issue was Joker killing Alexander

[drastic_quench]

Well, that was well worth $28.

[TheIntellectual]

My only complaint is the totally wonky Nightwing thing.

So he gets killed or atleast seriously effed up.... and then at the end he's all bright and peppy. WTF?

Overall though, I liked it. Hated how deathstroke was defeated off panel. But really, if my only complaints is that too much stuff happened off screen and murkiness in regards to ONE character.... yeah, I'm thoroughly impressed. Kudos Johns.

[Pksoze]

The battle between Superboy & Superman was great. Superman saved the day once again and got a great speech. Kal l dying was dissapointing yet expected. Doomsday went out in a lame way... if it was going to be that easy they should have had Super Boy Prime kill him like he did the other villains like Floronic man. A good ending to the series and a new villain introduced.

[Binker]

Now that IC#7 is out and IC itself is over, I need to ask this:

I got the Identity Crisis, OMAC Project, and I collected these issues. What else should I get that are needed and not that they are just simply tie ins?

[Ultimate_Superman]

Superman OYL WW OYL Batman OYL JLA OYL Superman: Sacrifice (major for OMAC), 52

[sethcohen]

teen titans OYL

[Ultimate_Superman]

I forgot about TT OYL (thats good if you want to see if they bring back Superboy)

[JesusOfNazarath]

Flash should be awesome too.

[drastic_quench]

I still can't believe that Batman had a gun to Alex's head AND PULLED THE TRIGGER! Of course, the gun was empty - but sweet fancy Moses!

[sethcohen]

im going to go crazy waiting a month for Flash OYL... i wish it was out next week!

[Ultimate_Superman]

I still can't believe that Batman had a gun to Alex's head AND PULLED THE TRIGGER! Of course, the gun was empty - but sweet fancy Moses!Batman hasn't had a gun since his golden age days. Though it did kind of look gay when he says I won't be alone and you see Dick and Tim.

[Ultimate_Superman]

I think the ending would have been better for Batman if you saw Catwoman on the boat or near the docks.

[sethcohen]

or better yet, on a yacht full off bat-skanks at his disposal haha

[Fledermaus]

I still can't believe that Batman had a gun to Alex's head AND PULLED THE TRIGGER! Of course, the gun was empty - but sweet fancy Moses!

I think that was a noise behind him. An empty gun goes CLICK not CHAK.

[sethcohen]

I think that was a noise behind him. An empty gun goes CLICK not CHAK.

ya i thought that was Wonder Woman walking up behind him

[BlackOpsTengu]

OMG, just reading these spoilers has made my day. I feel giddy. The TPB for Infinite Crisis can't come fast enough!

[drastic_quench]

And so began the second great comics sound effect battle. First being Gwen's "SNAP".

CLICK vs CHAK, hmm? I say he pulled the trigger vs. some random sound behind him.

[Darthphere]

Infinite Crisis #7=Orgasmic.

[BlackOpsTengu]

I TOLD you guys not to start rating best Infinite Crisis moments until the last issue came out! *chuckle*

[BlackOpsTengu]

Sad that E2 Superman died, but he couldn't really have lived in a world without Lois. At least they're in the real heaven now, not some psuedo one. Everyone dies, even Superman, but he saved the universe. He showed us how to be a hero again. I salute you, Man of Steel.

[The Ether]

I'm a little dissappointed that 'Joe Chill' is the one who killed Bruce's parents again, I wonder how everyone else feels?

The only thing would have been if the ending was longer.

[Pksoze]

Hate it.


Love it

[Darthphere]

Love it


Your choice man, but it really is one of the worse moves in this mini and people didnt like it when it happened in Batman Year Two.

[Doc Destruction]

Meh, I don't mind it.

[JesusOfNazarath]

Batman hasn't had a gun since his golden age days. Though it did kind of look gay when he says I won't be alone and you see Dick and Tim.


LMAO

When Superboy carved the S in his chest:eek: , I flipped out over the awesomeness of it. The Joker part was great too. I love the violence of books today, and there not even in the Vertigo/Max line.:up: :) Guy had great parts in that too. This was really good.

[JesusOfNazarath]

I'm kinda pissed they killed Kal L. I liked him and Kal El working together. It was sad when he died.:( It was the best non violent moment of the book/series.

[GoldenAgeHero]

wow this issue was awesome, so awesome it needs itsown soundtrack.

does anyone know who the new shazam is? the one in the white with a hood,i sawacoupleof kids on the beach finding some artifacts or something, can anyone explain that?

I thought Billy was the new Shazam? Thats a Green lantern from another Earth. I know someone here knows.


EDIT: its the Tangent Universe Green Lantern staff.

Actually I thought the original retcon was stupid.

Batman sees an alternate future says, maybe I was wrong and suddenly everything just changed.

I'll keep with the version that lasted for over 50 years over the zero hour version.

But then again its a choice issue.

I'm a little dissappointed that 'Joe Chill' is the one who killed Bruce's parents again, I wonder how everyone else feels?


that's the only problem I have with everything, but it's a minor problem... it's not likt it's going to be brought up a lot.

[Johnny Blaze]

How is Question flying?
He ate some five bean chili for lunch. :o :(

[Lackey]

And so began the second great comics sound effect battle. First being Gwen's "SNAP".

CLICK vs CHAK, hmm? I say he pulled the trigger vs. some random sound behind him.


he loaded a bullet into the chamber (the sound), but he didn't fire... or else why would Wonder Woman try talking him out of firing if there were no bullets?

[Motown Marvel]

"you made a LOT of mistakes. You underestimated Superman. Superboy. Me. But the biggest one? You didnt let the Joker play."

BLAM!

"now who's stupid?"

hell......f**king.....yeah!!! favorite moment in the book....that along with having the end fight on mogo, how cool is that?

[Shadowknight]

Actually, that's wrong. In Batman: Year 2, he was going to shoot Joe Chill with a gun, the one that killed his parent. Before he could pull the trigger, someone else shot the guy. Jeph Loeb wrote a story in Batman/Superman where Bruce was back in time to where his parents were killed, and shot and killed Chill.

So I guess we have to wait until 52 to see what made Superman loose his powers, huh? Maybe Roach is right and Supernova is Superman's powers personified somehow. :confused: Batman pointing the gun at Alex seems very much like the pilot episode from Batman Beyond. And as we know, when that happened Bruce quit being Batman. Seems like what Bats did or was about to do here is one of the reasons why he goes off soul-searching, among other things. Also, who wants to bet that Superboy Prime will be the intergalactic threat that gives Darkseid a run for his money during 52?

We saw what made Superman lose his powers, he flew through kryptonite and into a red sun.

That totally drained him.

ill explain it for you in spoiler text:
his body was saturated with red solar energy, therfore removing his powers. im imagining he still doesnt have them a year later since he flew THROUGH the red sun and litterally filled his cells with red solar energy

[sethcohen]

sorry, double post

[Spectre722]

Best parts:

Bart comes back: "Still got Flash phobia?"

J'onn takes charge: "This is the Martian Manhunter. I have read this Superboy's mind. So now you have too. He is heading for Oa. He wants to destroy this universe. I urge any and all of you who can...to take to the skies."

Best one right here, Batman and Alex Luthor: "I know what Superman is going through. He doesn't deserve that. Superboy didn't deserve that. What do you deserve?"

Superman: It's not about where you were born. Or what powers you have. Or what you wear on your chest. It's about what you do...it's about action."

Second best, Luthor: "You made alot of mistakes. You underestimated Superman. Superboy. Me. But the biggest one? You didn't let the Joker play. Now who's stupid?"

So to recap:

Superman lost his powers after flying through Krypton's Red Sun.
Batman, Nightwing, and Robin are taking the pilgramage Bruce took and are retraining themselves.
Wonderwoman is going to learn how to be human again.

And then that splash page shows us all the changes...Looks like Freddy becomes the new Captain Marvel, while Billy goes all wizard-like. J'onn gets a new look. And is Barbara Gordon Batwoman? An OMAC becomes a hero (ten bucks says it's Snapper Carr).

Let's not forget Bart Allen is not the Flash! He lost his powers!

[mmckellop]

Here its is guys and girls the end of the road.


So the issue starts with all the folks from last issue standing over Conner's body and they are joined by robin and Power Girl who learns that Earth 2 Lois died. Then Hal tells everybody that J'onn just told him that The Society has just broke open every meta human prison on the planet and that they have declared war on the hero's.

First step? destroying Metropolis.


The next couple of pages detail the battle of metropolis as seen in the Villians United Special.

Alex and Superboy Prime (SBP) are there as well as an army of hero's. Black Adam rips off Amazo's head. SPB kills some folks who I don't recognize and alex tells him that new earth has some changes, wonder woman helped found the justice soceity, thomas and martha wayne's killer was caught and superman was active before moving to metroplis. Bane breaks someones back. Doomsday is attacks Green Arrow and Arsenal but gets his ass whooped by the two supermen. Modern supes leads the charge into Metroplis and he and earth 2 take down bizzaro. Hal takes out sinestro, ray and the female dr. light take out the evil verison.

earth 2 supes fights with the justice society against zoom and wildcat remembers him.

alex luthor fires on powergirl and is finally confronted by earth 2 supes he explains that he is just like his father, a hero is a world of villians.

sbp interrupts the fight and is about to kill cassie when the flash, an aged bart allen, show up and pummels him til he flies away announcing his intent to flight into Oa at the speed of light. J'onn reads his mind and alerts the flies, who follow in hot pursuit.

spb possibly kills zuirel and ruptures breachs suit, he explodes possibly killing looker of the outsiders. when the dust settles, captian atom is there instead.

earth 2 tries in vain to stop spb but, he is ingnored. hal tells guy that troubles coming his way.

batman takes down deathstoke and alex appears saying that they've damned earth he tries to fry batman but nightwing gets in the way.
the shaggy man appear and collapses the street that they were all standing on.

the gl corp led by guy attacks spb. 32 lanterns are killed before the supes and the others arrive.

back on earth batman beats down a now powerless alex and picks up one of deathstrokes guns with the intent of killing him, but is stopped by wonder woman who shatters her sword and tells him its not worth it. he agrees and backs off just and rock slide falls on alex.

the two supermen knock spb though the remains of the planet krypton, which does effect him cuz he isn't from that universe. they then push superman though kryptons red sun and into mogo, the gl from alan moore's famous story.

the arise from three holes on the planets surface and spb, now minus armor, uses his failing heat vision on earth 1. his is attacked by earth 2 and realizes that their collective powers are fading.

he kills earth 2.

earth rips of the s shield of spb and defeats him

the gl corp plus heroes land and take spb captive.

the next day metroplis is being rebuilt, skeets and booster gold disscuss plans for the future and the fact that blue beetle is missing.

two kids find the tanget universe green lantern.

bart explains to jay garrick that his powers are gone because the speed force is gone and he does know where wally is. jay has speed because of his meta gene. bart doesn't reveal where spb was kept or his is older.

alex is killed in gothlam city by joker and lex luthor.

batman, supes and wonder woman discuss their plans for the future, superman is powerless for the timebeing and wonderman is leaving to find herself. batman is going to retract his to becoming batman, but this time with robin and nightwing in tow.

there is a two page splash of all the heroes who will be protecting the dcu in 52 inculding captian marvel in white, with cmj in red. a batwoman with red hair, an omac on the side of the heroes and j'onn in a new outfit.

the last shows that the gls have imprisoned spb inside of a red sun eater and they have posted 50 gls to keep watch at all times.

spb swears that he will escape.

Excellent read. I'll be picking up the trade.

[slipalong]

pictures of any of this???


Pretty PUH-lease??

[Nightwing]

IC #7 was one great read, and the ending was simply brilliant. I'll be picking up the trade, even though I have all the issues. One of my favorite scenes was seeing Joker killing Alexander, then laughing hysterically about it. Aswell as Bruce starting to loosen up toward the others when saying he'll be taking a trip with Dick and Tim. All in all the issue was fantastic.

Also, did anyone recognize that Batwoman had the same symbol on her chest that resembled the one Terry McGinnis wore in Batman Beyond?

[Pksoze]

I'm considering getting the trade as well.

Nothing like reading this series in one setting.

The only unfortunate part is that the series had so many fill in artists.

Other than that it was great & the ending begs for a sequel.

Yeah, but that really doesn't matter...as he can always come back from heaven.

How about Doomsday is he gone?

Cause if Doomsday died it was sort of weak.

He had half his mother 'effin face PUNCHED OFF by TWO Supermen. The jaw was practically falling off in the scan I saw.

i wouldnt do it either, i really dotn feel like doing anything.

[Binker]

Why not?

Why not? Well when I read the last pages of IC#7, I figured that you don't need 52 because the last scene is the big three going away and then cut to OYL where they come back. So 52 isn't really needed.

[Darthphere]

But 52 is going to fill in the blanks of that missing year. Why wouldnt you ant to know what happened then.

[BrianWilly]

An excellent end to an excellent series.

I have some complaints...the art was sketchy in some places -- you can really tell which were the pages that were added last-minute -- and the subplot with the Spectre pretty much ended up going nowhere at all and it was really unclear just how the heck the fight against the villains finally got resolved, though I imagine that the tide was turned when the big guns showed up.

The rest of it was just flat-out awesome. Loved Wonder Woman's scene with Batman and Alex. And Superboy against the Green Lanterns. Taking Superboy into f'ing red sun Rao itself. Superman-2's death scene was great, since what he said was really cool: even if he dies or is changed or whatever, the idea of "Superman" will always be around.

Superboy's carved "S" at the end reminded me of the S that Tom Welling sometimes has on his chest in Smallville. It's fitting, since they're both just about as whiny:D.

[BlackOpsTengu]

So... when's this series going to be collected in a trade paper back? :D :supes:

[Binker]

But 52 is going to fill in the blanks of that missing year. Why wouldnt you ant to know what happened then.

I thought about that. But I doubt I need it. I know why the three left (or two, Clark just has none of his powers) and I know things are changing. Thats what OYL is about. But I won't need 52. I just don't.

[Lackey]

most people around here are picking it up because they care about more in the DCU than just the big three, but if you don't, I see no problem with not wanting to commit to 52 issues of a comic book.

[BrianWilly]

Did Zauriel "die?" I thought he was just really badly burned.

[BlackOpsTengu]

I can just see the Monty Python conversation between Superboy Prime, Black Racer, and Zauriel.

"Take him off my hands would you? Do me a favor?"

"I'm not dead! I'm just very badly burned! I feel happy! I feel happy!"

"Oh... alright." *thwock*

"Thanks."

[Pksoze]

He had half his mother 'effin face PUNCHED OFF by TWO Supermen. The jaw was practically falling off in the scan I saw.

That's pretty ironic given the circumstances. :D


This was the guy who killed Supes, he was so hyped up.

I wonder if he's dead.

[Anubis]

Of course he isn't dead. He's already been beaten to death, atomized, dumped into entrophy at the end of time, and probaly a bunch of other stuff. You really think getting a double punch in the head would take him out for good? They wanna get rid of him for good they should probally strap him to the source wall or something.

[Nightwing]

Who is Zauriel, Picture?

http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Set/4398/zauriel.jpg

Damn is that Captain marvel in the hooded all white Shazam costume? Damn!

Seems so. Apparently, Freedy is the new Captain Marvel, while Billy has gone through some sord of change.

[BlackOpsTengu]

Right, I know. This is the monster who beat up Darkseid with a smile. But still, Pre-Crisis Superman helping normal Superman take down the guy who killed him with a couple of punches is pretty awesome. :up: It took our Superman New Genesis weapons to do that much damage to Doomsday, and it healed in a few seconds. The message? Don't screw with E-2 Superman!

[hippie_hunter]

The rest of it was just flat-out awesome. Loved Wonder Woman's scene with Batman and Alex. And Superboy against the Green Lanterns. Taking Superboy into f'ing red sun Rao itself.

i just wanna know one thing- is that Batgirl or Batwoman?

[BrianWilly]

Probably Batwoman. She'll show up during 52.

I actually have to say that I'm not incredibly happy with that spread. It's a great look at the OYL heroes, but it also feels a bit rushed. I mean, did the guy even look at the Ion symbol before drawing it??

[batnkevlar]

So, it looks good... I'm wondering about what's gonna happen in 52... how does Supes lose his powers again? And how does Bats beat Deathstroke?

[GoldenAgeHero]

read the issue man. abyways superboy prime was right about one thing haljordanpretending to be a hero. i loved that line.

[BrianWilly]

Superman sent himself flying into a bunch of Kryptonite and then directly through the heart of a red sun.

It didn't show Batman directly fighting Deathstroke, but technically he fought him alongside Nightwing and Robin so it's not hard to imagine how they won.

[Fledermaus]

prep-time.

I still want to know who that red-headed Batwoman is.

[Nightwing]

Probably Batwoman. She'll show up during 52.

As well as possibly getting her own ongoing....

I still want to know who that red-headed Batwoman is.

Could be someone current who decides to don the mask, or someone completely new.

[BrianWilly]

I honestly don't see how it could possibly be anything but the obvious choice of Barbara. I mean, it's the reverse psychology thing here ("that's so obvious, it couldn't be right") but they seem to be setting it up pretty well and coming up with someone new at this point seems pretty redundant.

I don't see Connor Hawke:(. Or Roy.

[Emerald Knight]

Connor's on an island somewhere with Mia/Speedy (read Titan's first OYL issue)

Don't know about Roy, though :(

[BrianWilly]

Yeah, but they showed Speedy in that spread.

[Nightwing]

I honestly don't see how it could possibly be anything but the obvious choice of Barbara. I mean, it's the reverse psychology thing here ("that's so obvious, it couldn't be right") but they seem to be setting it up pretty well and coming up with someone new at this point seems pretty redundant.

Perhaps they'll be using her ability to wiggle her toes again to transpire it into something more? Still, there's a slight chance it's somebody new. It'll surprise me if it's Barbara, though.

I don't see Connor Hawke:(. Or Roy.

As Emerald Knight mentioned he's on an island with Mia. As for Roy, there's always 52.

[BlackOpsTengu]

Right, in a perfect world we would have seen the full Batman Nightwing Robin vs Deathstroke fight. But Bruce cracking Slade's skull into the ground was pretty satisfying. :D

[MaskedManJRK]

read the issue man. abyways superboy prime was right about one thing haljordanpretending to be a hero. i loved that line.

I think for once we agree on something--I always saw that "yellow fear demon" thing to be such bulls**t it's not even funny.

Heh. Grace, Ravager, Wildcat, and a few others are doing the same thing.

that sounds really cool.

[Speedball]

He's behind star girl.

[Green Lantern]

Heh. Grace, Ravager, Wildcat, and a few others are doing the same thing.

I just noticed Ralph Dibny isn't on the splash page...... and one of the main characters of 52 doesn't make it to OYL...

[The Leaguer]

I refuse to believe that Zauriel is dead, and not just because my entire reality would come crashing down if he was: he wasn't shown dying, so there's no reason to assume he's dead. If he is really badly burned, he can just heal it right back up.

And even if he did die, he's Heaven designated him as their respresentative on Earth, they'll just send him right back down. It's happened before.

Other than that, the issue kicked ass. The only part that really made me mad was Batwoman. The fact that it's so obviously not Cassandra Cain is infuriating.

[Calendar Man]

"you made a LOT of mistakes. You underestimated Superman. Superboy. Me. But the biggest one? You didnt let the Joker play."

I think he's supposed to be jumping. Although given that there's no ground in that picture, they all look like they're flying. :)

Seems so. Apparently, Freedy is the new Captain Marvel, while Billy has gone through some sord of change.

Puberty?

Wow... its amazing how everyone on here seems to have loved IC #7 (and IC in general) and yet most on DC's own boards are calling it crap and saying Civil War will be better. Personally I think there is very little chance of Civil War even coming close in quality...and seriously if you didn't like IC..you may need mental help.

Also Alex is killed by The Joker only really. Lex just looks on and does some commentary.

[Green Lantern]

Isn't there that rumor of Roy being in Checkmate soon? Has there been something to confirm that?Rucka said that he will NOT be in Checkmate but that there ARE plans for him :gulp:

The DC board is saturated with trolls. I gave that place up long ago.

There are probably lots of Marvel fans there who will bash it in favor of Civil War regardless.

I'm sure 75% of DC fans loved Infinite Crisis based on just the sales.

Personally, I don't know how a board could have paid mods & fail so badly.


This board is pretty even handed & was filled with some skeptical posters when the story started see the beginning of this thread.

The fans just enjoyed the story.

As for Civil War it was ok... but I knew what would happen already with heroes arguing against each other.

So I hope it will be more impactful the next issue.

IC7 was the end all be all of comics.....and that last scene made me believe we have not seen the last of Superboy Prime

[Vic Von Doom]

IMO, Infinite Crisis #7 is one of the best comics I have read in a long time. I liked that Doomsday got taken out in a hurry. It fit in with Supes new "take action" credo. Him and E2 Supes were just like "Alright, there's Doomsday, punch his jaw off, there. What's next?" Lovely. Superman really got his time to shine in this book. Not like he never does, but I think our Supes stole this book, he got some pretty damn good moments.

I love Green Arrow with the hood. Always thought that looked cool.

I'm digging on the Seven Soldiers in that spread. I caught Shining Knight (both) , Frankenstein, Klarion, Bulleteer, and the Manhattan Guardian. Assuming Morrison doesn't bump off Zatanna, can we assume then that Mister Miracle bites it at the end of 7 Soldiers?

Also...I know Garrick is supposed to be the Flash, but Grownup Bart is still in that spread...

All in all, this book was phenomenal. Luthor owned, the Big 3 kicked butt, E2 Supes got a great swan song, and a new A-list baddie in Superboy Prime is born. Bravo, Johns, Jimenez, all the artists who pulled Phil's ass out of the fire, and DC.

Oh, and I may be wrong, but I had thought that the thing those two kids found was not a tangent universe GL, whatever the hell that is, but rather the helmet of Dr. Fate, a dangling plot thread from Day of Vengeance. It would make more sense to wrap that up than to bring back some obscure artifact.

I went to my comic store today to get IC7 but it wasn't in so I got three x-men comics instead:(:down

[supes_el]

^^ouch!

Anyway IC7 was phenomenal. Everything about it was well done. I would have like to seen a badass Doomsday and Ion in the issue though. Its great to see WW using her jet and Bats semi-happy again. SBP was a f'n powerful douche emo in this issue. Captain Marvel looks great.

So what was the thing that washed up on shore?

Also I cant wait a few years when they spring SBP back at us in a DC vs SBP thing.

[Vic Von Doom]

[spoiler]So what was the thing that washed up on shore?


I said up there I'm pretty sure that's the helmet of Dr. Fate. At the end of the Day Of Vengeance special Blue Devil chucks it into the distance.

[BlackOpsTengu]

Well, Luthor was the one who found him presumably. Joker wouldn't even know who he was without Lex. Besides, Lex rarely gets his hands dirty. I think its safe to say they both killed him.

[Nightwing]

... and one of the main characters of 52 doesn't make it to OYL...

Despite Sure already being murdered, I don't want to see Ralph suffer the same fate by being killed off just because she was. Even though he isn't on the splash page, hopefully he'll make it out alive. In Detective Comics however, he's refered to as "not available."

[The Caped Knight]

Ok who's The new Batwoman, She a redhead . Is it babs ?

LOVE the invisible plane. So goofy, yet cool as hell.

[Johnny Blaze]

I refuse to believe that Zauriel is dead, and not just because my entire reality would come crashing down if he was: he wasn't shown dying, so there's no reason to assume he's dead. If he is really badly burned, he can just heal it right back up.

And even if he did die, he's Heaven designated him as their respresentative on Earth, they'll just send him right back down. It's happened before.

Other than that, the issue kicked ass. The only part that really made me mad was Batwoman. The fact that it's so obviously not Cassandra Cain is infuriating.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha... :D

It must have hurt to see your boy punked like that. :o :(

[nite-owl]

I think my soul is being torn apart without reading IC7:(

"And what you we going to do with all this free time, Mr. Kent?"

"We're gonna make a baby, baby."

is that supposed to be dr. mid-nite at the bottom in the all-black costume? why the change in color scheme? also, who's that girl behind red tornado? the one with the red green and brown costume. who's the black and white guy to the right of wildcat?


another, non-splashpage related question. how long until we find out why dick and babs aren't getting married? they didn't show any kind of resolution to that before dick set off on his tour of the world with bruce and tim.

[Ultimate_Superman]

I am upset that we don't see the old Auqaman up there at all where is he and will he be back?
