DC Final Crisis 7 first impression review

This is my immediate first impression just after reading DC comics' Final Crisis #7 of 7. I have been a religious comic book reader since the mid 80's. I am the person my friends and family turn to when they have questions about comics. That being said, I have no idea what the heck I just read!

Hah Im younger than you and you can't even understand a simple comic like final crisis. or youre just ranting for the fun of it because people rants about it too. Talk about wanting popularity through youtube..

[ProzacMan]

itestudent. Since you are advanced beyond your years, please explain the series to the rest of us. Not just the parts about Darkside. What were the other story threads about? What are the implications of the ending and how does it effect DC books from this point on? Can you back up your claim of understanding or are you just seeking popularity by ranting about other peoples Youtube videos?

I criticized Final Crisis on the Something Awful boards and got suspended for it. There are a lot of big Morrison fans there. You should read the threads there to see how much they read into it.

Apparently Countdown to Final Crisis doesnt really count as the build up to Final Crisis. The real build up took place in some of the issues of a series called Seven Soldiers of Victory. All the stuff about the New Gods happened in those books. That is where all the details of the Omaga Sanction are. Those books are were people are getting a lot of what they are reading into the New Gods/WTF happened to Batman. But that only answers about one third of the questions from the series.

No, Superman sings that note to "cancel" Darkseid's abstract form, outside of Turpin's body (As Superman says in that page, "Everything's just vibrations, really. And counter-vivrations that cancel them out") It's just a bit of Silver Age-style science.

I actually liked that bit. There's some poetry to defeating the god evil with music.

It would have jived better if Morison had used Coundown's version of the Anti Life Equation. In that series it was a song that the Pied Piper discovered and played on his flute. Since Morison apparently retcond it in favor of the literal equation we seen in the book. It also would have helped if that was the end of the fight. The stuff with Vampire Monitor still is a mystery to me. We haven't seen him in the main book since issue 1.

Dude, I undertastand Final Crisis and it's not to complicated... I mean it's hard to understand if people r the typical marvel reader that only reads shit like secret invasion and that stuff. Kudos for your comment and don't ever get dissapointed by the thumbs down.

[DamianRavenblood]

Superheroes in the DC U have finally acheived that mythological status with Final Crisis. The Marvel U has gone nowhere near that. Final Crisis is entirely about keeping the constant true mode of reality away from the borders of the fatalistic fallen (satanic) nihilistic idealogy of Darkseid and his lord Mandrakk.  The New Gods aren't just metahumans, they really are the stuff of mythological Gods. DC version .

batman died then only red robin knew he was alive and is trying to get hi back and the antiverse is trying to kill superman

[GayComicGeek]

Yeah, this series sucked monkey balls. There was no point except to it except to send Batman in the past...apparently with his utility belt...and that's it. Morrison was totally incoherent in his writing and it skipped around so much that it was impossible to follow along unless you had a masters degree in Morrison theology.

Yeah, Sups 3D helps when you read it to understand FC. Doesn't make it better in my opinion, but at least I didn't feel like a n00b anymore :P

Grant Retconned by Marvel.

DC Retconned by Morrison.

[BrandonHex101]

I been reading comics since before you were even sperm and I didn't get FC at all. I had to have somebody explain it to me and then I realized because I had missed Superman 3D, I missed alot of what makes it make sense.
