Final Crisis Rage Of The Red Lanterns #1
DC Comics
Johns, Davis & Hope
I can’t explain what this has to do with Final Crisis because I’m not reading it and this issue really gave no indication that it was connected to it. What I can say is if you are a fan of Green Lantern or plan to read the Blackest Night arc next year then you must purchase this comic. It’s essential reading. It’s also an excellent story. It makes me wonder why Green Lantern wasted seven issues on the red lantern subject when this issue was really all that was needed. If you felt Secret Origin was a waste of time, fear not, this issue is absolutely not.

Final Crisis Rogues Revenge #3 of 3
DC Comics
Johns & Kollins
Well, the Rogues certainly stole the stage from the Flash this time around. The mini series wraps up without holding back anything. We get lots from the core Rogues, Libra, Pied Piper, Zoom and Inertia. We even get a little appearance from a Flash. This series ends showing the ugly side of most of the bad guys. However, the story manages to hold the Rogues up as the protagonist rather nicely.

Final Crisis Superman Beyond #1 of 2
DC Comics
Morrison, Mahnke, Alamy
I’m torn with this issue. On the one hand I knew what I was getting into with reading a Final Crisis tie-in, not having read Final Crisis Main. However, I hit the jackpot with Rogues’ Revenge and Requiem as I thought they were among the best comics of the year. Being the big Superman fan that I am and with the added gimmick of 3D how could I not push my luck a third time? I should have walked away from the craps table because this issue confused the hell out of me.

Final Crisis Rogues’ Revenge #2 of 3
DC Comics
Johns & Kolins
I am not reading the main Final Crisis series. I am reading this mini that may tie into the main one, but it simply makes no difference to me. I am finding this mini series to be among the best of the year. This second issue is outstanding on every single level. I can’t possible recommend this issue enough. In fact, you don’t even need to have read the first issue to like this story. That’s some high praise indeed.

DC Universe Last Will & Testament #1
DC Comics
Meltzer, Kubert, Kubert & Dell
This one shot does a quick lap around some of the main players in the DCU on the eve of a huge battle. It focuses on one low level hero, Geo-Force, and how he deals with his demons. The story is very interesting and has a great and unique ending, but I felt the story was told in such a way that I didn’t really care about this character, whom I know very little about. In some ways, I couldn’t even figure out how he was considered a hero. The artwork was very strong. Overall, this comic probably wasn’t worth the extra buck in price based on my level of enjoyment.
