Happy New Year! I'm at home, waiting for this big snow. Ugh. What's worse is that I have to go to work with these weather conditions. Oh well.
Well, here it is. This is the thing that got me introduced in to DC Universe as a whole because beforehand, all I knew was Batman, Superman, and the JLA.
Countdown to Infinite Crisis
Writers: Geoff Johns, Greg Rucka, and Judd Winnick
Pencilers/Artists: Rags Morales, Ed Benes, Jesus Saiz, Ivan Reis, and Phil Jimenez
Through this 80 page comic book that cost one dollar, I got hyped up for this event call Infinite Crisis. It was April 2005, I think. I’m at Outer Limits in the ‘Boro where I see this 80 page thing for a dollar. I, being a guy who loves cheap things, got this and then eventually read it. I liked it. The artwork was gorgeous. Also, the story was engaging as well as sad. I’ll get to all of that soon.
The whole book revolves around a B-list (or C-List) superhero called Blue Beetle aka Ted Kord. He’s kind of a second rate Batman, but more technical and less brooding. Anyway, he, in one way or another, somehow gets involved with about every corner of the DCU in this book. So let’s get to the story, shall we?
