  1. Hilarious! Welcome to the critics circle! Hope to read more of your humorous tirades!

  2. Read Batman 682 and 883 which explains what happens leading into FC #6. Read Superman Beyond 1 and (2 which is coming out this week) which will explain his being absent up to FC #6. This book was my pick of the week.

  3. "I’m just thrown into a world that doesn’t quite make sense to me or anyone but Grant Morrison. Sometimes I don’t even think he knows what he’s writing half the time."

    Wrong. If from the start you refuse to learn the rules of the game Morrison’s playing, of course you’re not going to like or understand it. If after six issues you’re still trying to read this series in the same conventional way that other series are read, then you’ve got problems.

    There are many problems with Final Crisis #6, many things Morrison could be legitimately blamed for (so many panels with Tawny in them; so, so many precious panels with Tawny). But readers’ adamant refusals to learn–he can’t really be blamed for that.

  4. Hey Flapjaxx!! 🙂 

    I want to learn!!! Why would I stick with the book for this long if I didn’t want to learn?!? Please Flapjaxx, teach me to read the Grant Morrison way! I WANT TO LEARN!! I understand that this is the way he writes but it’s a little frustrating when you get more Tawney BITES panels and less Batman and Superman panels for your 4 bucks.

    I appreciate you reading my review.  

  5. Thank you, Eadge, for that review.  It’s like you reached into my skull, sifted through the debris and typed up what you found inside.

    I also have to agree with your response to Flapjaxx: teach me, FJ.  Teach me how to read this story.  Tell me the secret, the cypher to breaking Morrison’s code.  I WANT to enjoy this story.  I REALLY, REALLY do.  And I’ve held out hope.  I keep buying it thinking it’s gonna change.  That it’s gonna get better, that it’ll finally all come together, make some sense.  But it never does.

    So maybe I’M what needs to change.  The problem lies in me.  Teach me, man.  Lay it the fuck out and take me to the Promised Land, Brotha Flap, because I am obviously just do goddamn stupid to read this book.

  6. Sorry Flapjaxx but to say there are special rules for following Grant Morrison’s writing is ridiculous. I consider myself a pretty astute follower of Grant’s work & I found F.C # 6 utterly confusing.  I’ve been following this title from it’s inception & it does feel like there are HUGE gaps in the story, & I love his work.  I was a huge fan of Invisibles & JLA but this isn’t making much sense.  The concepts are great but the execution is definitely flawed.  Plus if this a company wide universe changing event you shouldn’t need an appendix to get through it.

  7. This review should be worshipped. It is hilariously awesome! I am so happy it got featured.

  8. I enjoyed this issue more than previous ones. Saying that, I agree with Eadge about the whole ‘Batman escaping’ bit. It’s an important part of the plot, it should be in the main series!!
