I think quite a bit is happening in Infinite Crisis, it just doesn't seem like the cerative team is terribly interested in showing it to the reader. Monologues about the "darkening of the DCU" are allowed to stretch for numorous pages, while the destruction of Atlantis is relegated to a side panel. It's kind of a bummer, because it was the greand scope of events in the original Crisis on Infinite Earths that made it compelling. This is just whining, and not even particularily interesting whining.

Yes, I'm reading it. No, nothing is happening.

Jhunt has it.

I haven't been reading it. I probably will pick up yje trade paperback collection however; just to see what all the fuss was about.

The Earth-2 Superman and Lois Lane are acting spectacularly out of character, for one. (I'm sorry, but I do not buy that any version of Superman ever would actually try the "destroy the universe so I can recreate it" bit.)

It's pretty much the comic book equivalent of getting all your action figures out on the floor and having 'em get into a humongous smash-up melee. Not a lot of substance, but it's a fun read. Your mileage may vary.

I read the first two issues, then I got confused, and realized it was a post-WEF self-esteem grab. It doesn't even have the action figure crash cache of the origin Crisis or even Secret Wars because you're too busy trying to read the meta-musings between the lines.

Looks to me that they are killing off characters that were brought in from other companies that DC bought and were introduced during the first Crisis. (Blue Beetle is a good example).

We might not see anything real specific until the issue before the whole "One Year Later" thing.

I haven't been buying it, but I've been pretty heavily skimming it at the store. (And no, the retailer doesn't mind.) I can only echo everyone else about the first 3 issues.

I saw #4 today, though, and things actually happen on-panel, front-and-center.

I couldn't really say whether what happens is good or bad. I haven't really liked what has passed for development in the DCU for a while now, so I can't get too exercised about it. I'm not their target audience.

The page is down on Newsarama, but Dan DiDio, in response to the gender of Tempest's son suddenly being switched is "the great thing about Crisis is..."

...Sigh.

I really dug #4, and (as someone else pointed out) stuff sure seems to happen. Much of it will no doubt be overturned with the old Cosmic Reset Button, but it still a really good read for the moment.

Emo Superboy.

I just read a borrowed copy of issue #2. There is one idea in there that, in the hands of someone like Grant Morrison, would be stunningly good--the idea that somehow the wrong EarthN survived. But overall, eh.
