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.

Hm, read Villains United...
Gail didn't do her homework. She has Luthor torturing and apparently fatally shooting Pariah. Who happens to be invulnerable on a level eclipsing the Pre-Crisis Superman—even those big anti-matter clouds that were destroying whole universes in Crisis weren't able to cause him injury. Admittedly he has no offensive powers, but defensively I don't think anyone short of the Spectre could harm him.
She should have had Psycho Pirate or Dr. Psycho manipulating his mind, a method that has been effective against him in the past .

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Matt, do we know that he was harmed? The failure may not be on the writer's part, but on Lex's. Which doesn't help that much, now that I think about it...

Talked to a friend about IC #1, now thinking that I may need to read "Day of Vengeance".

They had him scream in pain and then collapse while showing what looked like blood (the black ink Comics Code Authority-approved variety) dripping down. Also, those stint/probe thingies on his face looked to be penetrating his skin .
FTR, In Crisis #12 he was being batted around by defensive countermeasures that drew blood from the Earth-2 Superman and just waved the heroes onward while saying not to worry, he was invulnerable .
