We all know by now that you either love or hate Final Crisis, and I have to say I loved it. Everything hurtles towards it's conclusion and the atmosphere of the book is strange and, well, more than a little apocalyptic. I truly think it feels as final as the title suggests, because I have to wonder where another writer could take the DC event from here. It seems BIG too, so big that the book itself cannot hope to contain the full breadth of the story, so you get snapshots of it instead, and it falls to you the reader to infer and imagine the full scale. A kind of event-impressionism (too highbrow? Ugh!) if you like. I know part of me hoped for an all out Supes/Darkseid smackdown, but I've seen it before, and this wasn't about what we've seen before.
There's been many comparisons between this and Secret Invasion, but I think this works far better as an overall story. There are more "ideas" flying about in this book than Bendis manages, and honestly felt this seemed more complete. While there are tantalising suggestions of what may come next, they don't feel as though they are simply setting up the next event the way SI did. Also, since Bruce Wayne/Batman is my all time favourite character, the final page was just what I'd hoped for (even heard the B:TAS theme music strike up in my head when I saw that shadow).
As for the art, Mahnke's no J G Jones, but he's still damn fine. And just look at the guy's pace! I mean he contributed to # 6 two weeks ago, then had Superman Beyond last week and now this!! Didio, this man saved your ass!
So just put me in the camp that salivated over every second of this issue and the series overall. I make no apologies for that, but to an extent I understand the ones that disagree. For me though, I just want to find the time to read it again, only this time in the intended order that's been published this past week.
Art: 4 - Very Good
"While there are tantalising suggestions of what may come next, they don’t feel as though they are simply setting up the next event"
that’s gotta be a good thing.
