	Reviews by Maurice Broaddus: Infinite Crisis
		The DC universe was a confusing multiverse caused by one manâ€™s actions â€œand his blasphemous actions corrupted the innate nature of the cosmos.â€� During Crisis on Infinite Earths, the universes were merged into one, consolidating the histories of the characters and their various incarnations.
		While Infinite Crisis is a sequel of sorts to Crisis on Infinite Earths, it also springs from some of the events and revelations from Identity Crisis.
		Infinite Crisis is as self-contained a story as Identity Crisis, meaning that the bait-and-switch feeling you may be experiencing is because this story is also part of an larger on-going story setting up the next big event, 52.

	Infinite Crisis
		Infinite Crisis is the title of a seven-issue comic book limited series published by DC Comics beginning in October 2005.
		Although the first issue of Infinite Crisis was released on 12 October 2005, the plot threads, and various precursors, had been explored for a long time in many major events, such as the 2004 mini-series Identity Crisis.
		Infinite Crisis was announced at the end of March 2005, with the release of Countdown to Infinite Crisis (which had previously simply been solicited as "DC Countdown" to keep the title and nature of the upcoming miniseries a secret) followed by four six-issue miniseries.

	Amazon.com: Infinite Crisis (DC Comics): Books: Geoff Johns,Phil Jimenez,George Perez,Jerry Ordway,Ivan Reis,Andy ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		INFINITE CRISIS is the hardcover collection of the hottest story in comics: one that changes everything you know about the heroes and villains of the DC Universe.
		Infinite Crisis picks up after the events of Identity Crisis and a number of lead-in mini-series', and comes on the 20th anniversary of Crisis on Infinite Earths, which was one of the few cross overs that actually delivered on it's promise and changed everything about the DC universe at the time.
		Infinite Crisis is considerably more tragic than the original Crisis on Infinite Earths because it involves the descent of some of DC comic's greatest heroes.

		A: Infinite Crisis is a 7 issue miniseries to be published this October by DC Comics.
		A: Countdown to Infinite Crisis was an 80 page one shot that introduced most of the plot elements that will feature in October's Infinite Crisis.
		The events in Infinite Crisis are going to change the DC universe drastically, and we won't be going back to the way things used to be.

	Infinite Crisis #1 - PopMatters Comic Book Review
		Crisis on Infinite Earths was the 1985 maxi-series written by Marv Wolfman and drawn by George Pérez created to try to streamline and simplify 50 years of continuity by drastically cutting down the cast of the DC Universe and starting many characters almost from scratch.
		Infinite Crisis makes no claims about doing similar, but the series' devotion to past continuity makes it almost unapproachable to anyone but the most rabidly dedicated DC fan.
		And since Infinite Crisis is rumored to be a series that will have a lasting effect on the entire DC Universe in the years to come, the series will be picked up by a number of new readers just to see what changes will be made.

	Countdown to Infinite Crisis » PopCultureShock
		Countdown is a decent enough comic on it’s own in terms of the writing, the way it ends seems like they’re desperate to add some zing for fear that it won’t be taken seriously otherwise.
		Regardless, the art is a secondary consideration in the case of Countdown to Infinite Crisis, and with that as a given it does it’s job for the length of the story.
		Countdown wanted to get a rise out of the comics scene and as of the writing of this review, has done admirably well.

	TheFourthRail.com - Critiques on Infinite Earths (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Crisis on Infinite Earths is pretty much required reading in order to fully appreciate not only the tone of this story, but the plot itself.
		In the original Crisis, there was no tearing down of the heroes before the major event, and in that respect, Infinite Crisis has set itself apart.
		Crisis on Infinite Earths was special because it was basically creating a whole new sub-genre for super-hero stories.

	Infinite Crisis - Uncyclopedia
		DC Comics had done a Crisis on Infinite Earths aka COIE series and it had confused the readers.
		Identity Crisis - Heroes had undergone Identity Crisises and created their own sockpuppet identities, it was revealed that Ambush Bug had found the Anti-Monitor's armor and that this would make him the Apex Predator for the upcoming Infinite Crisis.
		So DC created Prelude to Infinite Crisis and Countdown to Infinite Crisis by trying to explain the events that were happening, all the while killing the sockpuppet C-List super hero known as The Blue Bettle.

	Countdown to Infinite Crisis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Countdown was a special 80 page comic originally priced at $1, much lower than would normally be the case for an 80 page comic, although the second printing was priced at $2.
		Countdown was bannered as a bridge to all four of the Crisis leadup titles, but featured each of them unevenly.
		Countdown was reprinted as part of the trade paperback collection of The OMAC Project, published November 2005 (ISBN 1-4012-0837-1).

	andPOP \| DC Goes Into 'Crisis' Mode (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		It's called Infinite Crisis, a mega crossover that extends across all of the books in the DC universe, sure to effect continuity and the future direction of all DC heroes for years to come.
		It was Crisis on Infinite Earths that eliminated the need for multiple earths and multiple versions of the same superhero, allowing continuity to run smoothly and making DC Comics easier to follow.
		The lasting impact of "Crisis" is that its effects on continuity are still being felt today, something that DC hopes to repeat with Infinite Crisis, so it's appropriate they paid homage to the original in the title.

	Gay League - DC Countdown
		Thematically, COUNTDOWN mines similar emotional territory as IDENTITY CRISIS, and explores the personal threat posed to a hero and those close to him when his secret identity is discovered.
		The seriousness of the dangers the heroes faced in CRISIS were palpable, and there were dire consequences as several heroes struggled and perished in their attempts to save the universe.
		Overall, COUNTDOWN is more of a prologue, or sampler of things to come in the DCU, rather than a satisfying, complete story, which is more of what I was expecting.

	Countdown to Infinite Crisis: The OMAC Project - Greg Rucka, Jesus Saiz, Cliff Richards - Graphic novel review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		As we previously saw in Identity Crisis, there's someone out there who knows a lot about the superheroes, including their sacred secret identities.
		This collection pulls together the original Countdown to Infinite Crisis comic as a kind of further introduction to the series, as well as The OMAC Project and a relevant episode of Wonder Woman that ties in quite nicely.
		Greg Rucka, the writer behind Grovel favourite Gotham Central, takes the reigns for most of this volume (the Countdown section is co-written with Geoff Johns and Judd Winick), and his grittiness is welcome.

		Crisis promised (and delivered) a streamlining of the DC cosmology, which had grown cluttered by multiple realities, parallel universes, myriad variations of heroes, villains, and supporting characters, and 50 or so years of continuity.
		Crisis on Infinite Earths redefined not only the world of DC Comics, it changed the entire face of the comic book industry.
		Countdown to Infinite Crisis promises to open the floodgates on a new approach to sequential storytelling at DC.

		The OMAC project is another of the collected lead-ins to the Infinite Crisis storyline, DC Comics' major story event of the year.
		Spinning out of the events of Identity Crisis, and setting the stage for the massive Infinite Crisis event, the OMAC Project is just one of the four mini-series that set up DC's current "world changing event".
		Collecting the six issue OMAC Project mini-series as well as the 80-page Countdown to Infinite Crisis one shot, the OMAC Project starts out with the Blue Beetle discovering that something is amiss in the super hero world, resulting in getting his brains blown out.

	Sunday Slugfest - Countdown to Infinite Crisis Review - Silver Bullet Comics
		The comic is bound to appeal to longtime fans of the DC universe, dealing as it does with a conspiracy which undermines all the heroes of earth, from Superman to the Blue Beetle, from Batman to Booster Gold.
		The five short chapters of “Countdown” revolve around Ted Kord — the Blue Beetle — and his uncovering of a large-scale conspiracy to undermine the heroes of the DC universe.
		Rubbing salt into the wound of my general disappointment at the quality of the issue is the constant presence of ads for the four upcoming miniseries which spin out of this issue’s thin story.

		Infinite Crisis is a sequel to Crisis on Infinite Earths, the single-greatest maxi-series in the history of DC Comics.
		The original Crisis was one of the rare series to truly deliver a universal reworking of an entire line of titles.
		Just as the events of Identity Crisis touched down in various DC books after it came to a close, expect plenty of Infinite Crisis crossover before and after the big event in October.

	Comic Book Resources - CBR News: Talking revelations in "Countdown To Infinite Crisis" with Keith Giffen
		Last Wednesday, DC Comics released their latest universe-spanning event "Countdown to Infinite Crisis," which sets things in to motion for a massive storyline that will unfold over the next year or so.
		This follows the success the publisher had with "Identity Crisis," and given the fact that DC announced "Countdown" has already sold out of its first printing, it's clear this latest event is experiencing a similar level of success.
		With the loss of one member in the pages of "Identity Crisis" and now a second in the pages of "Countdown to Infinite Crisis," Giffen says his reaction to the deaths of both characters was about the same.

	NEWSARAMA.COM: CRISIS COUNSELING SESSION 02
		DD: While this story does not breach time to the extent of Crisis On Infinite Earths, I too share your interests in DC’s historical characters. My hope is that the Jonah Hex series catches the attention it deserves and allows us to do others series set in the historical vein.
		I can't help but notice that Donna Troy chose a collection of DC power houses to take on her quest; and the characters also possess an array of distinct powers that could be compared to the gods of Roman and Greek mythology.
		DD: The story is continued in Infinite Crisis #2 and being that I was buying my comics up until a few years ago, I know what a strain that is on the budget, but our promise to give you the best value for your dollar.

		Brad Meltzer, a best-selling mystery author, brought his serious writings chops to the comics world to which he is evidently no stranger, sowing the seeds of doubt among the previously supposedly impeccable group that was the JLA.
		And Identity Crisis accomplished just that and more, revealing the very real fears of heroes for their loved ones, and the choices they would face to protect those who were often defenseless.
		Identity Crisis had affected me so much, that when I heard the typical "A DC hero will die!" bafflegarb, I was determined not to pick up Countdown to Infinite Crisis.

		The Infinite Crisis, or rather, the Countdown to it, in the fictional DC Comics universe continues in this collection of monthly comics.
		We start to see some linking back to Identity Crisis at this point, as it's the antagonist of that story (we won't give it away in case you haven't read it) who succumbs to hosting Eclipso's spirit.
		There's little plot to speak of, and what is present is dwarfed by what's essentially a couple of battles between some very big DC Comics hitters.

	Countdown to Infinite Crisis: Villains United - Graphic novel review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Villains United sees the Countdown to Infinite Crisis series back on form in the capable hands of Gail Simone.
		Despite featuring a raft of DC Universe villains the average comic reader probably won't recognise - with the exception of Lex Luthor and a few cameos from bigger names - Simone manages to build a coherent structure around a significant cull of minor evil characters.
		The basic premise is that Luthor is looking to build a league of super-villains with the direct aim of taking down the superheroes once and for all, using the unheroic actions of the superhero fraternity in Identity Crisis as a draw to pull his unruly mob together.
