With only two more issues left to go, how can Morrison make the world less fucked up?
That was the thought racing through my head as the issue kept going. So much bad things are happening right now, it's hard to think that Morrison can write a 'happy' ending for this event. Or is he really going to do that? Considering Dan Didio and Morrison got into a huge arguement about the ending of this event, it's not hard to tell Morrison didnt want a 'happy' ending for this.
This was a soild issue all around, but nothing special really. I mean dont get me wrong, this is far and away the best Crisis event DC has ever done. But this really felt like a way to get us into the next two issues, probably some big shit is gonna go down so we need to get the story going. Stuff like Mary Marvel who is asking for punishment in a sexual way, to Libra wanting to rape Supergirl, to Darkseid's speech to the masses; some stuff in this was pretty disturbing. But what I love about Morrison is the stuff that makes us want to think. That whole scene with the changed monitor and the man in the purple cloak...that is what Morrison is best at. Making our head hurt at times, but still providing a rich subtext and making us wanting to think instead of seeing yet another battle.
J.G. Jones and Chris Pacheco are the best artists for this event. It should be one artist since Jones had all the time in the world to get this done (like he had a full year advancement didnt he?). But as what the art is, it's still pretty damn good. Someone else mentioned it but you can definitely tell from the page colors who is doing what (White is Pacheco and Black is Jones). But you can just tell from the art styles on how different it is. Pacheco seems to have lack of panels (like the scenes with Green Lanterns) and makes everything kinetic. While Jones uses a more detailed style with the panels and everything is more mellow and cool. Again it's a shame that we couldnt have one artist (heck we got a 3rd coming for #7) but it's still good.
I didnt understand the last page of this issue....I still dont understand some aspects of this story....I still dont understand why Jones couldnt just get his ass off the couch and pencil on time....But I dont care to be honest. Final Crisis is just a fun read every month and I cannot wait to see the repercussions of this event. Morrison is doing some of his best work this year, and I hope he continues to work for DC cause he clearly (by miles) the best writer for the company.
Art: 4 - Very Good
