It just seems funny that there is an article about Infinite Crisis in the NYT.

"I think people feel it's dark because it's so compelling," Mr. DiDio said. "They don't know how our heroes are going to get out of the danger."
Mr. Rucka agreed: "When they're saying 'it's too dark,' they're saying, 'I'm scared.' "
Condescending, much?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Sigh.
I think they may be missing the point of the complaints. I haven't seen anyone say that things are too dark because they're seriously afraid for the characters. I have seen a fair amount of bitching about dark for dark's sake.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Really, I see more "it's too dark -- this is getting effing boring already" complaints than "it's too dark -- hold me, I'm scared".

It's like the mission statement is, "None. None more dark."

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Interview with Dan Didio about Infinite Crisis: [link]
NOTE: contains a thumbnail of the cover of #2 (Power Girl on a blue background), which is *not* the real cover for #2 -- clicking on that thumbnail (Power Girl) opens the *real* cover, which is SPOILERY AS FUCK.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Who's the guy in the upper right corner?

Of the real cover? Some iteration of Superman, I'm assuming. (Robo-Superman?)
I am definitely hitting the comic store on the way home.

I picked up my comics over lunch.
Started reading Identity Crisis, then thought -- maybe I should read everything else first. Particularly Villains United.
