No, I haven't got it yet. They don't come out for another three hours, silly. Can't wait to read it tonight, tho!!!!!!!!!

Not gettin' it until Saturday. I am sure this will redefine my world and that nothing will ever be the same again!!

<---flings 12 pounds of bagged dog poop at DC for showing the HALL of JUSTICE in the last issue of JLA. Looking forward to the debut of the TroubleAlert, where forest rangers, ship captains and fire chiefs can instantly contact the SuperFr...err, JLA.

The recap:

The story starts off with all the heroes in a CHURCH. Green Lantern flies out in mid-service. But there's all kinds of Volcanoes and random catastrophes going on! Fans, what does this mean?! Mr. Terrific shares some incredibly UN-funny banter with some other hereos. There are now multiple Earths everywhere. I hope they can make Earth-Winnick and Earth-Johns... which can be the self-contained Earths for all future shitty stories and characters.

Wonder Woman meets the Earth-2 Wonder Woman... in what has to be the UGLIEST rendition of Wonder Woman to ever see print--- barely beating out Wonder Gorilla. They talk.

Lois Lane suddenly dies and Superman-2 decides to blame Superman-1. They have a BIG FIGHT spliced with a blatant homage to Action Comics #1. Too bad the writers didn't read the other 800+ issues of Action.

Meanwhile, Booster Gold has blindfolded and kidnapped the new kid who has received "The Mantle of the Blue Beetle". Last month Booster snuck into the kid's room while he slept..this month he blindfolds and kidnaps him. I DON'T want to speculate on what Booster will do to him next month. They sneak into the Bat-cave, which is apparently no longer guarded by Mike the Alligator. Batman has been formulating a plan to knock down his malfunctioned Brother Eye satellite. He has a hologram displaying his propsed team for this SPACE MISSION--- it includes some Green Lanterns, along with ...Green Arrow and Black Canary. Cuz' if you're going into SPACE, you need a guy who can shoot arrows and a hot blonde who can do somersaults! Sheesh. Booster drops into his on-again/off-again recollection of "future events" (call him Starhawk Lite or "One Who Kinda' Knows Some Random Shit") and suggests Batman use this new Blue Beetle kid.

Alex Luthor babbles some more about certain Earths and his big cannon-thingie. He says that Lady Quark was from Earth-6... so she's apparently upgraded her Earth by TWO in the last 20 years. There's also "Breach, the Captain Atom of Earth-8"..which, accoridng to Luthor is where the Huntress, Kyle Rayner and the new Firestorm should'a been. Nightwing and Superboy meet up in some apparent "final mission to save things by the World's Next Finest Team". Exactly WHAT they're doing..the readers, the heroes and the writers don't know... but tune in next month!

Helping with the random evacuations is the female, good-guy Dr. Light.. the same one who was crippled and stripped of her powers only 4 months ago in Green Arrow.. a book one of the "brain trust" of this series works on. It's Assistant Editor's Decade at DC! That would explain Detective Chimp....

Big "climax" has the SHOCKING RETURN of Superboy-Prime. ...who's apparently robbed the Anti-Monitor's armor (but, but...wasn't the Anti-Monitor a big guy and isn't he stuck in Alex Luthor's big cannon-thinge... must.. not... fight....plot.. fuck-ups...)..or else he stopped by 1992 for some electro-shoulder pads. He sorta' looks like the Eradicator from "Reign of the Supermen".

Five pages of "One year Later" solicitations close out the book. These will RE-DEFINE THE DC UNIVERSE!!!!! One sale now!

This issue did nothing for me. Feh. Somehow, the return of SBP was pretty anti-climactic, maybe to go with his new anti-monitor garb.

You know what really scares me about DC and Infinite CRISIS? Right now DC is being shaped by guys who loved their early 80's comics.

So in ten years, does that mean a "new generation of hacks" will come in to DC and write "ZERO CRISIS" where they bring back Gunfire, Kyle Rayner as GL, Guy Gardner:Warrior and Azrael, while having Doomsday and Bane behind the whole plot? Instead of lame George Perez imitations, they can get someone to do lame imitations of Jim Balent and Mike Deodato.
