  Reviews by Maurice Broaddus: Infinite Crisis
The DC universe was a confusing multiverse caused by one man’s actions “and his blasphemous actions corrupted the innate nature of the cosmos.� 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.

 Crisis on Infinite Earths
Crisis on Infinite Earths was a twelve-issue comic book limited series (or maxiseries) and crossover event, produced by DC Comics in 1985 in order to simplify their fifty-year-old continuity.
Crisis was used by DC as an opportunity to wipe much of its slate clean and make major changes to many of their major revenue-generating comic book series.
Also, Infinite Crisis appears to be an attempt to address the perception on the part of some that the DC Universe, and comics in general, has become too dark and "gritty".

 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.

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.
Now, last year's Identity Crisis set the stage for things to come, as Elongated Man's wife Sue was murdered by someone in the JLA circle, and it was revealed that certain JLA members were involved in mind-wiping villains throughout the years, and even some of their own as well.
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.

As storytelling, Infinite Crisis could be a confusing and headachy mess even if you knew most of the characters and their backstories, and didn't find phrases like "trapped in the Speed force" or "summon the Green Lantern Corps" or "drag him through the Red Sun" merely confusing, meaningless, or off-putting.
Infinite Crisis and all its spinoffs are dense with interesting themes, but not necessarily with interesting and complete developments of those themes.
The whole Infinite Crisis brouhaha began with another political metaphor, a moral dilemma touching on vital differences between libertarian and modern liberal viewpoints on the nature of the self and the proper way to treat anti-social actions.

 Infinite Crisis # 2 Annotations
When Earth-2 ceased to exist thanks to the Crisis on Infinite Earths, Power Girl's history was effectively negated, resulting in her history becoming a tangled mess of continuity that was explored in JSA Classified # 1-4.
These five panels are basically a recap of Crisis on Infinite Earths, from the birth of the Anti-Monitor in the Anti-Matter Universe, and the entropic wave that destroyed all but five of the universes that existed, to the villain's eventual defeat by Kal-L in Crisis on Infinite Earths # 12.
In Crisis on Infinite Earths, the Anti-Monitor was hell-bent on destroying the entire multiverse, and it was only through the combined efforts of the metahuman populations of Earths 1, 2, X, S, and 4 that the destruction of the multiverse was put on hold.

 Infinite Crisis # 1 Annotations
Infinite Crisis # 1 was just recently released and as far as I am concerned, the first issue lives up to the hype and excitement surrounding it.
Although infinite copies of all other planets existed across the multiverse (before the multiverse itself was destroyed in Crisis on Infinite Earths), there had always only been one Oa.
Superman is referring to the Golden Age and Silver Age heroes who died during Crisis on Infinite Earths, paving the way for their Modern Age spiritual successors, who have obviously failed to live up to the moral codes and standards their predecessors upheld.

 Sunday Slugfest - Infinite Crisis #1 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
After all the infinite crossovers, alternate Elseworlds, retroactive tweaking, major overhauls, and controversial lapses in continuity, DC has returned to the source of its most successful attempt at streamlining its once allegedly convoluted superhero universe to reconstruct its supposedly complicated present for a new generation.
Infinite Crisis #1 delivers on its promise of nonstop carnage, as each page is littered with characters fighting melee-style battles.
Infinite Crisis #1 delivers a good start to a series that has the potential to shake up a DC universe that has been getting quite stale these past years.

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.

 Infinite Crisis #1-7 - PopMatters Comic Book Review
Infinite Crisis is a loose sequel to DC Comics' continuity-fixing 1985 maxi-series, Crisis on Infinite Earths.
After Crisis, in the mid-'90s there was DC's Zero Hour which had a villainous Hal Jordan try and re-set the DC Universe.
The plot itself is of a giant scope, with Alexander Luthor and Superboy Prime, both survivors of Crisis on Infinite Earths, trying to create the perfect Earth where the heroes act like heroes, and the darker tones of some of the characters are erased.

 DC Comics' Infinite Crisis
Newsarama is reporting here that when INFINITE CRISIS is all said and done, all DCU title will jump ahead one eyar in the timeline -- that is, the March 2006 issues will take place 1 year after the end of INFINITE CRISIS.
In the second issue of DC’s mystical INFINITE CRISIS lead-in mini-series, we are treated to much of the same: Willingham’s skilled pacing and slightly disjointed dialogue, Justiano’s detailed pencil only improved by Walden Wong’s inks, and a story as big as it gets propelled forward by protagonists almost as insignificant as they get.
If INFINITE CRISIS truly is an event of the scale of CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS -- a fact of which we cannot yet be certain -- then this is a likely candidate for the seed of that event.

Billed as the sequel to the Crisis on Infinite Earths miniseries of 1985, in which DC aggressively combined its multiple versions of Earth into one, with some of its heroes perishing in the process, the current event and all of its subplots are bound to give the confused, casual comic-book fan an eye-watering headache.

The editorial objective of the series (referred to as "Crisis") was streamline these parallel worlds—with their different versions of various characters—and make the DC Universe less confusing to new readers.
Regardless, across time, various "revised" DC Universes have referenced a past event called "Crisis", mainly in regard to Barry Allen (who, in the post-Crisis timeline, had existed, but was killed by the Anti-Monitor exactly as seen in the limited series).
John Constantine is also aware of the Crisis, as seen in Swamp Thing vol.

Then as we developed and planned the direction for the DCU, the story began to crystallize.  One thing we knew for sure was that we needed to create a story and event that could carry on the name and tradition of the original maxi series.

I thought it was really good the first issue, i find it kinda funny that when you look at it DC's infinite crisis came out right around the time Marvel's House of M is going to end.
Also, I believe Superman was referring to the fact that Dick Grayson of Earth 2 died during the origional Crisis on Infinite Earths.
In the origional Crisis Barry Allen died, in Zero Hour Wall died (but it was later reveiled that a unknown force saved him), and now the Flash comic is scheduled to end this month with issue #230.

It is going to be sucky in ten years when Infinite Crisis will be forgotten except as maybe a footnote to the end of comics, and all the people involved are out of jobs because the comic industry has shrunk down to even less than now due to catering to a shrinking fanbase.
When I started reading comics, it was in the wake of Crisis on Infinite Earths and I loved all of that stuff.

 PrettyFakes » Blog Archive » Thin-finite Crisis
Obviously, a certain degree of self-promotion has always been a feature of comics, given that it’s a serial medium, but if Infinite Crisis is an indication, DC has taken that feature and raised it to the level of content.
My point is, for all its apparent simplicity, this is a rich story, one in which every thrown punch or throwaway one-liner or, um, thrown-up mass of sand-vomit connects in myriad and intricate ways to a bigger backstory.
In your first essay on IC, you wrote, “Wolfman and Perez’s Crisis ended up projecting a fairly conservative ethical vision in its reduction of the multiverse to a single universe, represented synecdochally by the singularity of earth itself.

 Countdown to Infinite Crisis - Animation Insider
Additionally, DC has provided Newsarama with the four house ads for the miniseries coming in April and May that feed from Countdown to Infinite Crisis: The OMAC Project, Villains United, The Rann Thanagar War, and Day of Vengeance.
All miniseries, according to DC, will now carry the "Infinite Crisis" as part of their trade dress.
If you saw the preview in Wizard it seemed pretty clear that it would be dealt with, but ID Crisis subplots a being picked up in a lot of different titles(Flash, Teen Titans, Firestorm).

I hated the original Crisis on Infinite Earths.
It was too long, too convulated, the conversations bordered on cheesiness etc...the only redeeming factor in my opinion was that it cleaned out the multivese and set foundations for a more coherent continuity.
While the creative team involved has made every effort to echo the themes of the original mega-crossover, Crisis on Infinite Earths, Infinite Crisis reads less like a multiverse spanning epic and more like just another Superman story, albeit with more guest stars than usual.
