Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Dr. Gym'll's Cultural Rarities The Official Infinite Crisis Spoiler Thread

At some point, Perez does a few pages that "shows the entire history of the DCU itself" (Dan Didio). I'm curious to see these!

What? No spoilers for #2 yet? Come on! I can't pick up my issue until tomorrow, maybe.

<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">We get to see Animal Man say goodbye to his family in the first few pages. Unfortunately, we all know that means that TPTB are setting my favorite character up to die. *sigh*

We see New Cronus's group which is a homage to the group on the Monitor's satelitte in Crisis. The Society is stopped from capturing Power Girl by Superman of Earth-2.

The Daily Planet confirms the deaths of Doctor Polaris, Black Condor II, Phantom Lady II, and the Human Bomb. Damage is in critical condition. And Uncle Sam and the Ray II are missing.

After the Society fails to capture a Marvel Family member, Lex decides to use Black Adam for his evil scheme. The other Lex is in the arctic in the battle armor confused. Also in the arctic, Power Girl meets the rest of the Crisis crew who recap the parallel Earths, Crisis, and subsequent merged Earth storyline before PG touches the apparently dying Lois Lane of Earth-2 and regains her memories of Earth-2.

A different Booster Gold & Skeets from the future arrive on the Moon in search of "his" League apparently too late. He settles for looking for the Blue Beetle's scarab.

Joker murders all of the Royal Flush gang trying to figure out why he was left out of the Society.

Batman talks to Brother Eye and learns that the OMACs are amassing to kill Wonder Woman and the amazons for killing Max Lord.

And lastly, Superman of Earth-2 reveals that because this reality has grown too dark because its mostly based on Earth-1, he intends to remake reality so that Earth-2 is the primary world.]Here's a spoiler-filled synopsis of the issue! Read only if you can handle the truth!

Quick question...have you ever seen such a HUGE endowment on Power Girl? She's gotta have some strong back muscles.

They did seem to get bigger as the story progressed. And I didn't think that was possible.

Wally Wood would be proud.

Also, more Amazons get killed.

How is it that there are still any left? It seems as though every single crossover or DCU-wide event ends up wiping out dozens of Amazons...

Glad I decided to stop on the way home after leaving work tonight. Only two copies left at the shop (both of them the Perez cover). Love the Legion AR scene. Especially since they picked one with Garth.

Perhaps they have learned to reproduce without.... er males.

Okay, Kal-L somehow wants to replace the world we have known since Crisis with one which is tilted more towards Earth-2. I, for one would love that, but that I can't imagine DC would do it. They essentially would have to remove the Big Three from their line altogether.

On the other hand, they do have that All-Star line now...

Hey I can dream can't I?

ANIMAL MAN: I hope this doesn't mean bad tidings ahead for Buddy Baker and family-- funny, how I didn't know how much I'd missed this family till I see them again.
NEW CHRONUS: What a setting- I hope it survives the Crisis. Though I'm not sure I want to see Donna as primarily a space-bound hero.
POWER GIRL: an issue against the Psycho Pirate, Giganta, Mr. Atom grouping would've been more worthwhile than the last issue of JSA CLASSIFIED. Wow, was the scene between her, GA Superman, and later Lois, effective. With a Perez-drawn history lesson. Good stuff. Though I'm not sold on the latest version of Power Girl's origin, her reawakening was certainly presented with emotion (hers) and passion (the creators).
Don't know what to think yet about the LUTHOR(s) and BOOSTER GOLD developments. I *do* know that seeing the Amazons and Themyscira getting blasted once agin is tiresome. Couldn't the latest crisis-causing baddie pick on some other group?

Beautiful art... I'm surprised there wasn't an image of Phantom Lady, Black Condor and the Human Bomb impaled on the Washington Monument. Sad, sad-- but at least there's hope for the Ray, Uncle Sam and Damage.

Re: Nightcrawler's synopsis:

I remember the narrative switching from the Batman/Brother Eye scene to the OMACs, but I didn't interpret that as meaning Brother Eye was telling Batman what the OMACs would be doing ...

Color me surprised when Amethyst and Metal Men made a brief appearance in IC #2....that was totally unexpected. I dropped my jaw when I saw Amethyst defending her Gemworld from Spectre on the page next to the last page on the top right column. *gasp* I hope Amethyst will be alive after IC is over. *finger crossing*

Soliticiations from Silver Bullet Comics on IC #5:
"Supermen clash in IC 5:

"The DCU shakes apart as Superman of Earth 2 finally confronts our Superman. Meanwhile, heroes are disappearing throughout the DC Universe, a transformed villain returns, and the mystics of every world and dimension seek help from the very Spirit that is destroying them. Retailers please note: This issue will ship with covers by Lee & Hope (approximately 50%) and Pérez (approximately 50%)."


The Rann-Thanagar Special also looks interesting:

"Infinite Crisis is here — and the Cosmic Storm rages out of control, threatening the fate of the entire universe! While the Rannian and Thanagarian flagships each suspect that the other is responsible for the disturbances, Donna Troy must lead her team of space champions into the cosmos in an attempt to prevent total destruction. But as the war rages on, a startling discovery will be uncovered, one hero will be forever changed, and another will make the ultimate sacrifice."

Also, Wonder Woman #226 will be the final issue. *sigh* not again, why must her book be cancelled every time when there is a Crisis?

Gotham Knights and Gotham Central will be axed as well....Perez's cover #5 looks so GREEATTT!! two supermen and two earths...wow....Superman (Kal-L) looks so pissed off so he knocks Superman (Kal-El) so hard so the wall displaying two Earths shattered. whoa! Lee needs to do better on the IC covers. ( I think his #3 is the best of them all I believe.)

Man. Rucka's books are getting it left and right... Uncool -- I like him!!

not sure if I am right, I think, that Nightwing is also facing the axe, #117 will be his last issue.???

Rucka's been such a big part of IC that he has to have something lined up. Like the inevitable WW relaunch.

I'll miss Gotham Central, though.

Devin Grayson is off the book with that issue. The current artist, Phil Hester, leaves two issues before. Haven't heard about a cancellation, but I wouldn't object to a relaunch there either.

just from Newsarama....another title bits the dust...like Wonder Woman....it's the Flash....his last issue will be in January. Same before as COiE....Wonder Woman and Flash titles were cancelled after COiE.....now this...

Aaargh!

I just reeeeally got into this title with the Titans arc. I've been buying up back issues like a maniac, and I added it to my preorders last month.

Hopefully it'll be back after whatever happens in the Batbooks settles down after 1YL...

It is a great book.

Current rumor is that it'll be relaunched post-IC. Probably hoping that a new #1 will boost interest.
