A review by sean_from_ohio
Final Crisis by Grant Morrison

3.0

First off, Grant Morrison is the most overrated writer in the history of comics. He has grand ideas that never come together well. Here, there is so much thrown at the wall that nearly nothing sticks. There are some good things, but they are overshadowed by terrible things. Why, in a giant crossover were a Japanese super team highlighted for no reason? Why was the set up so terrible? Why were there so many missing elements? Why weren't any of the obviously important tie-ins mentioned? Why were Martian Manhunter and Batman treated so underwhelmingly? I could go on. The art, mostly by JG Jones was phenomenal. This book is why DC Comics fails when it comes to crossovers. Overall, a beautiful, yet bloated mess.
