Infinite Crisis Omnibus (New Edition) Hardcover – June 19, 2018

Infinite Crisis was the 10th anniversary "tip of the hat" to Crisis on Infinite Earths, DC's original attempt to clean up their story continuity with both critics and fans. It's ironic that years after all the work they did to eliminate multiple earths, the concept reappeared over and over in different flavors such that the concept is far more confusing today than it was back then.Infinite Crisis is really a number of different storylines woven together. They could be read separately with a great deal of enjoyment. But woven together. it's a wild ride that incorporates nearly all of the DC Universe.Center to the entire story is a separate piece, Identity Crisis and the Justice League storyline it is based on. That itself is a masterwork by Brad Meltzer and is a must pre-read for this tome. In short, villains learn the Justice League's secret identities. Zatanna mindwipes the villains' memories, making them forget the information. But it won't be the last time. In Meltzer's followup, it's revealed that Zatanna's whent a little further in her mindwipe of Dr. Light after a truly villanous episode of his, with the Justice League split on it's morality. And when Batman wanders into the scene, they do a little job on him too.It all comes to a head as Batman discovers what was done to him. Feeding his paranoia on motives that are anyone's but his own, he creates a system to protect Earth from the heroes...and it gets hijacked and altered. And that is where I have to stop to avoid any spoilers.This massive volume puts all of the different pieces of the story in convenient reading order. It's a great way to get the feeling of the whole story without yanking out multiple books or individual comics from your collection. The pages are a very decent weight and printing quality is good. I've heard negative things about DC's binding on their omnibuses (glued instead of sewn) so I handle it with extra care. It a heavy book, as many of these omnibus type books are. This isn't for laptop reading: a sturdy table top is really required.I recommend this highly to DC fans of the past and present. Good drama, and great storytelling.

Man such a good story. Everything you need is write here. Worth the cash. A bit heavy. Worth the cash If you want a great DC story

I really love omnibus volumes because entire story lines are collected into one volume (or multiple volumes). As is the case with Infinite Crisis Omnibus, several years of stories across multiple DC tiles are collected in one giant volume with over 1400 pages of goodness. Collected here is Day of Vengeance 1 - 6, Rann-Thanagar War 1 - 6, The OMAC Project 1 - 6, Infinite Crisis 1 - 6 and all the tie ins. It is a really good deal to get all the connected stories in one volume. It is fun to read as it is a sequel to the 1984 Crisis on Infinite Earths. In addition, the issues collected here are presented in reading order which made the whole reading experience that much more enjoyable. That's all good.However, there are several drawbacks which if it were included could have made this a great volume. First is the Brad Meltzer limited series Identity Crisis was omitted. This is a crucial story leading into the events of Infinite Crisis. Even the the stories included referenced the events in Identity Crisis. My recommendation is to read Identity Crisis first before reading this omnibus. Second is that this volume did not include a table of contents which made it difficult to figure out which part came from original published comic. Lastly, covers of the original comics were not included. Part of the joys of comic books is the cover and even for reprints, many fans like to see original covers.All in all, still a fun read but DC could have made it better.

Beautiful book

I missed the issues and minis leading up to the actual event, it's nice to experience them. they are all well written and would've been deserving of their own TPB on my shelf, but now they get to be apart of the re-reads of Infinite Crisis, and exciting action blockbuster that really pays off long term fans with twists and turns and connections to even the least expected characters.

Greate comic novel, they should make a movie

Reading it. Loving it!

Awesome story, beautiful cover, the dust jacket is just a little faded at the bottom.But what most got me sad was the binding that doesn’t goes up when the book is open.Apart from that, it is a worth one
