Dark Crisis by Joshua Williamson

As a Crisis event, this book is incredibly disappointing. It is, at best, an homage to all the other, better Crisis books smooshed together with no actual ramifications for anything. It also takes place after the far superior Metal books that effectively served as a Crisis event just a couple years ago. It has nothing new to bring to the table. And yet, I really enjoyed it. Sampere sold the spectacle in a beautiful way and lifted the whole book onto his shoulders.

The writer really writes Hal Jordan as a real dick. Old gen vs young gen. Other than that it was a fun romp seeing all the new gen characters step up

Boring and incoherent, like a lot of williamson’s writing. I just finished the last issue and I’d be hard pressed to tell you what even happened. The multiverse is back? I think so. Speedsters can heal and fix dimensions with their speed? Dick Grayson is now in charge of all the heroes? Pariah was connected to the great darkness? No wait, he wasn’t? Things just happen in this series and then some of them get erased.

Total waste of time.
