Page by page, panel by panel annotations of DC Comics' summer events and crossovers
Added the notes on the various tie-ins to Infinite Crisis this afternoon; you can find them from the Infinite Crisis home page linked on the right in the sidebar.
Still need to go through and make sure everything that needs to be a link is sorted but it’s almost there.
Finished off the annotations for Infinite Crisis this afternoon – well, the main series anyway – so have posted them. You can find them in the link on the right hand side.
I need to copy over the stuff from the old site about the Collected Edition and the tie-ins which I’ll make a start on this week and then update the links within the notes.
Then I need to finish off scans from the Collected Edition and look at incorporating new notes on the Infinite Crisis Aftermath series (particularly the Battle for Bludhaven) and the Brave New World one-shot. I had all good intentions to do those years ago but never got round to it. This new site’s as good a time as any, I guess.
Stay tuned – more stuff coming soon.
Okay, maybe not youth…
I’m in the process of copying over my notes from the old Annotated Infinite Crisis site and had honestly forgotten how much stuff I’d put into that; not just the seven issues of the main series but a whole bunch of tie-ins and other odds and sods. It’s going to take me a while to get all of that over here, re-do some images, put correct links in to new pages and so on, but it’s getting there.
The reason I mention this now is because I was working on the notes for issue #4 and came across this:
Page 24 – Panel 7 From out of the Speed Force, grabbing Superboy-Prime around the neck comes Flash (Barry Allen), grandfather of Kid Flash. Barry is rare in the world of superheroes: a character who died and, to this day, remains dead. He has appeared occasionally (usually in The Flash during a time-travelling storyline or as a flashback) but in the present day he is still dead, having given his life during Crisis on Infinite Earths.
You have to bear in mind that I wrote the above in 2007 when Barry Allen was indeed “a character who died and, to this day, remains dead“. The idea of bringing him back at that point and basically negating his hugely heroic death in Crisis, was just unthinkable.
And then they went and did it just a year or so later.
Death – it just doesn’t stick, does it?
I’ve put together the page of Crisis #7 cover homages – you can find it here.
If you know of any that I haven’t included, get in touch.
