	Identity Crisis (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Identity Crisis is a seven-issue comic book limited series published by DC Comics in 2004, written by Brad Meltzer and penciled by Rags Morales.
		Previously, it was determined that in the post-Crisis DCU, only a handful of other heroes knew the secret identity of Batman and Superman (or in the case of Superman, that he had a secret identity at all).
		The Crisis of Conscience storyline from JLA #115-120 shows the breakdown of relationships within the Justice League of America over events that occurred in Identity Crisis.

	Comic Books Commentary: The Identity Crisis in DC Comics' Identity Crisis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Identity Crisis, this summer's hot mini-series from DC Comics(site) by novelist Brad Meltzer(site), has embodied in the title not just the whodunit nature of the plot but his interest in the shift of traditional fl-and-white heroes to ones with shades of gray.
		In Identity Crisis, members of the Justice League of America (JLA)(info) face some of the most heinous crimes committed against them, and then use their power to reach beyond the law, foregoing some of their most cherished convictions in order to deal with these harsh realities.
		Identity Crisis is about opening Pandora's Box, but not in the way that most people seem to be approaching this subject.

	Identity Crisis (ISBN 1401206883): Very Well Said™
		When I first heard about Identity Crisis I wondered how the death of a character as minor as Sue Dibny could possibly be the setup for such an important mini-series but the story turned out to be one of the most emotional comics I've read in the last five years.
		Identity Crisis is not badly written when taken as individual issues, its only that there are no rewards waiting--other than the sad lesson that all too often hype is only hype.
		Identity Crisis is so full of continuity errors, inconsistencies, plot-holes, red herrings and bad characterisation that had it been a novel, it would have been roundly trashed by any self-respecting book critic.

	Brad Meltzer: Identity Crisis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		But the art is the other half of any comic book story, and if it's not dead on, it doesn't matter how good the story is. So...I speak to Rags almost every day, even though he certainly doesn't need my help.
		The worst part is, the comics industry believes it, forever wondering how they can be "accepted." Let me tell you something, just because something is in a graphic format doesn't mean it needs to be apologized for.

	Crisis Team: Meltzer, Morales look back at "Identity Crisis" - Comic Book Resources Forums (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		With the hard cover collection of "Identity Crisis" now in bookstores, and the launch of "Infinite Crisis" only one week away, CBR News caught up with writer Brad Meltzer and artist Rags Morales to discuss the impact "Identity Crisis" has had.
		Although it looks like "Identity Crisis" was designed to be part of a master plan by The Powers That Be at DC, Meltzer insists his story didn't start out that way.
		Identity Crisis was announced about a year before it came out, maybe longer.

	Comic Book Resources - CBR News - The Comic Wire
		Such was the depth of their partnership on the award-winning DC Comics miniseries, which recently was collected in a hardcover edition.
		Elements from "Identity Crisis" also were used in several regular titles-- perhaps most significantly in the recently completed "JLA" story, "Crisis of Conscience"-- as well as the "Countdown to Infinite Crisis" one-shot and the various mini-series that have led to "Infinite Crisis."
		Until "Identity Crisis," most of the press Meltzer had received was for his novels, best-selling thrillers including "The Tenth Justice" and "The First Counsel." "Identity Crisis" was only his second gig in comics; the first was a six-issue arc on "Green Arrow" that followed filmmaker Kevin Smith's run on the title.

	Books \| Crisis indeed
		Identity Crisis, now reprinted in a single hardcover volume (from DC), was a big event in mainstream comics by any standards.
		Identity Crisis is almost incomprehensible to readers who aren’t already intimate with its dozens of characters and their relationships.
		But what Identity Crisis is presenting as exhausted illusions are the idea of heroism itself — the ethical compass that orients superhero comics — and the notion that major comics stories should speak to an audience greater than long-devoted fanatics.

	Identity Crisis - PopMatters Comic Book Review
		Originally released as a seven-issue mini-series last year, Identity Crisis weaves together a tale of rape, violence, murder, lies, and deceit in with fantastic ideas, such as "mindwipes" and the very concept of the "superhero", into a taut, engaging, and affective tale that answers two fundamental questions of superheroes specifically and comic books generally.
		With those two events, Identity Crisis brings an honest-to-God danger back into the ranks of the jokey villains of DC's Silver Age, while brining to the fore the notion of identity itself, both of the secret variety as well as what the identity is of this league of supposed heroes.
		With muted colors, heavy situations, and motives of glaring ambiguity, reading Identity Crisis is like watching the network news: the good guys rush into battle with who they think are the bad guys, only to find out they might have been wrong, thus compounding the original problem.

	STL COMICS - Calling All Comics - A CLOSER LOOK AT THE IDENTITY CRISIS - by KEVIN McCARLEY
		The ramifications of Identity Crisis have yet to be played-out, as many questions were left unanswered in the final issue.
		The character hit hardest by the whole crisis is undoubtedly Ralph Dibny, the Elongated Man. Not only has he lost his wife, but she was also his best friend and constant mystery-solving companion.
		And although the effects of her death in Identity Crisis will undoubtedly change Ralph in some way, it will also change some continuity in the DC Universe.

	Identity Crisis = Train Wreck - The CHUD.COM Message Boards
		Identity Crisis had, and still does have, potential, Identity Disc is by all accounts a knockoff of The Usual Suspects.
		While I'll gladly concede that Identity Crisis is still unfolding and might have more of a point that darkening up the DC universe, we're 2/7ths in, with the next issue going to have a big fight scene, so it's possible to start drawing some conclusions.
		I kind of have a guess on what the Identity Crisis in series is. While most of the online spectulation has been that it is about the Superhero's identitiies being reveled to the public, I believe it is about what happens when the loved ones identities are found out by supervillians.

		Identity Crisis is well-crafted, with strong writing, gorgeous artwork and a truly fascinating premise.
		Unfortunately, what Identity Crisis has been sold on, and indeed what this first issue turns on, is the death of a JLA member.
		I'd like to be able to write off this one glaring flaw as an unfortunate side effect of the nature of event comics and the recent decision by both big companies to view short-term shock value as more important than the caretaking of their long-developed shared universes, but unfortunately I can't.

		NRAMA: Speaking of the killer’s identity, you knew from day one that fans would have theories about who the killer was, and up until issue #7, there were plenty of theories out there.
		In that examination, we were able to acknowledge that, especially in comics, there are things worse than death -- most specifically, the death of ideals, the death of faith, and the death of self.
		NRAMA: That said, from what’s being brought to light, DC is using Identity Crisis as a springboard for both a large handful of follow-ups as well as a start event for a larger universal change among the characters.

		Both the appeal and the outrage of “Identity Crisis” is the way it alters the characters’ lore.

		But this year a little comic book called Identity Crisis dared to mix up convention by showcasing a typical by-the-numbers murder mystery that promised to “shake up” the entire DC universe.
		A relatively minor character that the majority of Identity Crisis readers had never heard of before, Sue had always been more of an un-stretchable appendage to her husband, The Elongated Man (a gay man’s fantasy hero if there ever was one).
		Now, I’d pretty much given up on Identity Crisis the moment Meltzer left us all hanging in the penultimate issue with the possibility that the humble and wholesome hero, The Atom, offed the wife of one of his best friends.

		With comics, however, a writer is dealing with franchise from start to finish.
		The Elongated Man is one of his favorite characters, and this setup has certainly put Ralph front and center in what DC has proclaimed "The Comics Event of the Year!" But as I said earlier, Sue was as much a part of the Elongated Man as Ralph.
		Their vengeance is put into motion at the end of the book, but I can't help but feel they are mistaken, or at least misguided in their conclusions.

	Review of the Brad Meltzer Graphic Novel Identity Crisis
		In the world of people who buy individual comics on a monthly basis, this DC Crisis is months in the past and they're already in the middle of the (as I write) forthcoming DC Crisis, Infinite Crisis (which, when it is collected will be around June 2006 in the UK).
		And, to really get things messy, let's not forget that this, seemingly ongoing, Crisis is, in fact, the longest (in terms of time to bring all volumes out) and largest (in terms of amount of copy generated) that DC have yet had.
		We'd grown up with the Silver Age heroes, and we visited with the Golden Age heroes in the annual JLA/JSA "crisis"; we had Earth-1 and Earth-2 (and 3 and X and S and Prime and...), and we had 'imaginary tales', and we even had tales that existed in their own continuum and nowhere else.
