Washington Times reviews Infinite Crisis
Joseph Szadkowski of the Washington Times reviewed Infinite Crisis 1-4 this past weekend, questioning the accessibility of the book:
Billed as the sequel to the Crisis on Infinite Earths miniseries of 1985, in which DC aggressively combined its multiple versions of Earth into one, with some of its heroes perishing in the process, the current event and all of its subplots are bound to give the confused, casual comic-book fan an eye-watering headache.
I'll readily admit that I have only a slight idea of what is going on here, but it sure looks exciting as I read such mighty dialogue as "being the only survivor of a reality that never existed" and "the very fabric of existence has shifted."
So is Infinite Crisis a masterpiece only hardcore fans can follow and love?

Ha.
Remember when people used to talk about whether stories were good or not, rather than whether they're accessible or age-appropriate or a good way to bring visibility to the brand? I miss that.
Yeah, it's pretty much for existing fans that have followed the characters. But I think that's fine. There are plenty of great DC books for casual fans, like All-Star Batman. Kids will love that. It's got titties and cursing.
