About this ebook

What happens when evil wins? That's the question Superman, Batman, the Justice League and every being in the DCU have to face when Darkseid and his otherworldly legion of narcissistic followers actually win the war between light and dark. Featuring the deaths and resurrections of major DC characters, FINAL CRISIS is more than your average multi-part event-it's a deconstruction of Super Hero comics and a challenging, thought-provoking take on the modern, four-color icons.

Ratings and reviews

Dizzy nonsense. The story jumps at random all over the place and seems to have little to no direction. Someone needs to explain to Grant Morrison what an exclamation point means and that it shouldn't be used every time a question mark doesn't fit.

This collection is a bunch of tie-in books. Unfortunately the real story happens in the pages if the actual DC titles and these Final Crises books have not nearly enough of the actual story from the larger cross-over event to make any kind of sense. The "book" you are considering spending your money on is basically an unreadable mess, like a thanksgiving dinner blended together with the plates it was served on and poured into a glass.

I love Grant Morrison more often than not, but this one's a mess. The story on Earth is really engaging, but it's continually interrupted for the multiversal Superman nonsense.
