I picked up my comics over lunch.
Started reading Identity Crisis, then thought -- maybe I should read everything else first. Particularly Villains United.
Mal: You are very much lacking in imagination. Zoe: I imagine that's so, sir.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Aha. Thanks.

Well, my thought was based on nothing more than knowing that say, VU was supposed to be leading up to Infinite Crisis, you know? Rather than any spoilery type knowledge.

Who's the guy in the upper right corner?
He's Alexander Luthor, the son of the Pre-Crisis Earth-3's Lex Luthor .
Also? Wahooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Double aha.
And thanks too.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Villains United made me go "Whuzza?" And also made me go Parademon -n- Ragdoll 4EVAH!!! And then "Parademon OH NOES!!!!"
Infinite Crisis #1 was....well, I'm intrigued. I'll say that much. And -- are we meant to think that J'onn is dead? Because it seemed deliberately vague to me. Also, all the people in the Uncle Sam brigade getting killed would mean a lot more to me if I had a single clue who they were.
And the final page of IC = Teh KEWL. But I am a cheeseball. I dig that shit.

I only hope that those characters are treated VERY reverently by DC editorial, Steph. The oldest two were given essentially a perfect happy ending, and if they are being pulled out of permanent retirement off in Misy Magic Land only to have some snot-nosed writer degrade them a couple years down the line to prove how edgy and cool he is (or, God forbid, have Golden Age Lois turn up stuffed into a refigerator at some point), I will go on the warpath .

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I read IC #1 and have absolutely no clue what's going on or who the majority of these people are, particularly the old and young reversed Superman people at the end.
Guess that's what I get for most of my DC knowledge coming from the animated universe.
