Final Crisis by Grant Morrison
5.0
Purely magical storytelling, Jack Kirby DMT for the 21st century and beyond, compressed metafiction for the age of twitter and youtube. Superheroes as grand narrative, pure love for the DC Universe.
It's a story, like Morrison's Seven Soldiers, to which other writers will be playing catch-up for decades. He's simply too good for comics, and with the sheer amount of fanboy wtf-responses on the internet, the nerds don't deserve him.
That aside, this story is borderline unreadable if you don't have at least a passing knowledge of DC Universe cosmology; I'd consider Jack Kirby's New Gods/Fourth World stories, the origial Crisis on Infinite Earths, Infinite Crisis, Morrison's Seven Soldiers, and a passing knowledge of all major DC players to be a base prerequisite for getting the most out of this book.
