Okay, I have read this issue, and for a awhile, I hard to to think of it. I found that the concept of the DC Universe going to hell mirrors how the bad the comic book itself has gotten, a sort of an artistic kind of thing you can expect from Morrison,  but it still seem rather empty with a hype and exceptions of almost 2 years in the making. I still feel like Morrison wrote himself in corner, expanding his ideas while forgetting the 7 issue limit (which I feel is an insult to the first Crisis event that lasted a whole year). And there were things I liked in this series, like Mr. Tawny's story, or how a dying Darksied became the living embodiment of the destruction of the universe. So I sort of like and hated this series at the same time, while being confuse too.
 
 It wasn't when I watched a parody video of Lost when it dawned on me, Final Crisis is basically the "Lost" version of comics, especially in this issue with the time jumps within the panel and pages, with the additions of strange things that come in and out at random with little to no explanation to them at all, even if some of them raise our interest for what was happening. 
 
So my verdict is.... uh..... still not sure of that. If your a fan of artistic messages in your comics, you might enjoy this. Same for guys who like crazy things in their comics. Either way, it happen and we can't change it... unless we become the writers/editors of DC in the future.

Okay, it is official, I forgive Spidey for One More Day. This issue has change my opinion of Spider-Man. Sure I still think he's a whiny little idiot who never learns his lesson, but this issue reddems him and almost makes OMD worth it... almost.
 
Harry is in super-suit and starts wailing on his Dear Old Daddy and Spidey talks him out of it. That's the story in a nutshell, but it has HUGE depth to it.  Joe Kelly is always a hit or amiss for me, while he writes some deep stuff, he also likes ot cross into a weird area and that lead to Superboy to be canceled. But here, he made a home-run!! I like the "angry yelling dialogue between Harry and Norman," and Spider-Man's speech to Harry seem true to the point, with some witty Spidey-Snark to it, and it also seems to define the "My best Friend is my Worst Enemy" that Harry/Peter have been know for. So yeah, buy this comic if you want to stop the Spider-Hating and remind yourself why we love Spider-Man in the first place.

I was never much a reader of Spider-Man, I loved the cartoon show back in the 90s and the movies too. But I was starting to buy them when they had Spidey reveal his secret Identity.... so you can imagine how much I hated One More Day. Not only they recton one of the biggest events of their big event, but erase over 2 decades of Spidey-History and expect us to believe things were better off, sure they brought back Harry, but they got rid of almost everything else except how Gwen Stacy made out with Osborn.
 I only hear about what happens to Spider-Man over the last year, like his fight with Freak, the chance that MJ is jackpot,  Flash Thompson loosing his legs, Eddie Brock becoming Anti-Venom, and, of course, his team up with President Obama. Around this time, it occur to me that nearly everyone but Spider-man was selling the comic, and with this issue, it was no different. 
Only this time,  I actually cared, I saw the twist the ending an online website and it seem so awesome that I wanted to buy it immediately, and trust me, even if you still hate Spider-Man, this issue will start changing your opinion.

Superboy is the reason why I am in comics today. I love him in the Reign of Superman and I grew up reading his series before it was cancel after 100 issues, even when it got a bit weird at the end with Joe Kelly and Didio. When he died in Infinite Crisis, I was sad, but at least they send him off with a bang, saving the entire, then they brought him back in Lo3W and I was happy as can, when I heard that he's going to have his own series again, I exploded in shere joy. 
 So far, we Superboy being a new place with some of his old freinds as well as new ones.  Overall, if you like Superboy, this comic is a must. The Legion, as awesome as they are, were an added bonus.
 
I can only hope that they can dive deeper into Superboy's past; like his original girlfriend, Tana Moon. In Conner's laster series,  there were a lot loose ends that need to be tied up. Besides, it been awhile since we last saw the members of Cadmus (in something good, so Countdown doesn't count.) and I would like see them again, especially Serling.

This has the best story so far in the comic's run. I liked the first issue, but many other panned it, and I felt the same way for the 2nd issue. But this was worth it.

In the Archie-Verse of Sonic the Hedgehog, E-102 Gamma wasn't destroyed in after his epic fight with the upgraded Beta and has spent this entire time, knocking off Eggman's bots all over Mobius. But after doing a job solo job for so long, Gamma is started to run down. This why Commander Tower sends Shadow in order to recruit the robot in order to repair for all the work he has done to help the world againist Robotnik, who is also sending his top agent, E-123 Omega, to Gamma, only to destory him.

This the first time we see Omega in the comics, aparently Eggman put him in storage and had him worked as a janitor (as in a gag strip in the end of the comic.) and he hunts down Gamma like Sabretooth does to Wolverine, which I could really feel in the story. We get a great deal of action and dialouge between the two bots while we see more depth in Shadow then we have in the games, as he traing to give living weapons a higher purpose than being weapons. A great issue with enough action to buy.

This issue had a decent amount of character with their own stories and foreshadowing that will lead to something later in future issues.

We have Mon-El trying to fit in as a regular cop (or as regular as you can get in Metropolis) protecting the city, which goes for the same as his Superhero Persona. After getting a lecture of trying to better job switching between identities by Jim, a mysterious military man watches over him through a secret camera.

Later on, Black Lightning takes out a bunch 3rd Rate bank robbers with high-tech stuff, while being watched by the Prankster watches him through a secret camera...

Then we have John Irons giving a man (Atlas?) a tour of Metro's sewer/pipe system.

We then have Jimmy interviewing Zatara about the strange beams that affected Supergirl and Superdog a few issues back, durning Atlas's great return from years in comic limbo, when Parasite is about attack, wanting to taste the power of magic.

In another "then," we have The Guardian give us the background for the Science Police's top officers and givng us a hint about a next mission, mostly lickely about that alien in the test tube, wearing a LoSH Ring.

And for our final then, we have Mon-El looking all the good he has done and feels atop of the world, which in all comic book stories, he begins to fall from the sky.

This was good issue, giving us a decent amount character background. The only bad thing I could say that, as a reading of the 90's Superboy series, it was great so see Guadian back in action, but it was bittersweet for me since they kind of made it that Guadian's connecting from that seires didn't "really" happened, especially since in one issue of the series, Sharpnel was the one who personally murdered Guardian... temporaly of course; and they made no refrence to this. Sure Jim said that "Sharpnel will be the last thing you'll see," but I doubt there was a connection. And what ads in the irk, Sharpnel himself doesn't make any refrence to his killing of Gaurdian, he just makes a one liner as he fights Mon-El. He didn't even say something like, "I took you down once, Shield-Man, and I can do it again!" when he was fighting Jim. While this part was the only thing I found rather annoying, I still really enjoyed the issue.

This issue was basically about Scourge in his Super form and pwns everyone in sight, which is about it, but don't be fooled, it's pretty awesome. There was a brief moment when Shadow had to take care of Metal Sonic, but that will be cover in the last issue of  "Sonic X" and the "Sonic Universe."

Also we deal with a personal dilemma for Sonic, facing somebody else who is Super while he's normal (but he did fought his Super-self in space, but that's another story). And personally, I was a bit disappoint about the resolve, but then again, using Socurge's own pride as his downfall was peotic and I do feel like Super Socurge maybe be due for a comeback some time in the future, which tends happen alot in comics, so I'll be happy when it comes around again.

We're at the half-way point now and nothing seems to happen so far, just the aftermath of the Anti-Life Equation set on the world, the surviving heroes and villains, more Barry and Wally moments, and Darkseid's return.

I seriously doubt that Final Crisis can be summed up in seven issues, unless evil truly wins in the end as the promo stated. "Crisis on Infinite Earths" lasted for a full year and by this time in Infinite Crisis, the big twist already happened. But so far, the bad guys plan has been going smoothly like well stack dominoes despite the confusing Countdown storyline. Also, has this is suppose to be the biggest crisis of them all, it seems to have no effect in other DC titles. Sure justice League help contributed, but that's about it. Heck, the Teen Titans had a tie-in with the Sinestro Corp. War at the end of the "Titans Tomorrow Today" storyline.

What I'll say is this: Grant seems to always have a surprise up his selve when it come sto big events, so maybe the hitch is yet to be seen.

This issue pretty much has almost every hedgehog known in the Sonic franchise. Shadow's appearance came out of nowhere, but I suspect it will be explain later on, but Scourge's reaction to him was priceless. I like how they introduce Silver into the series while, at the same time, reintroducing an old hedgehog from the Penders-Age of the series, the ye Olde English speaking Rob O' the Hedge, sort of balance of new and old to the fans of the both the games and comic.

It was cool to see all the Hedgehogs fighting each other. Rob vs. Metal, Shadow and Sonic vs. Scourge, Amy vs. Rosy, Silver making everyone stop  by leviating them when none of them even acknowledge him when he was asking questions, follow by everyone ganging up on Scourge. They haven't explain much of Silver's orgins so far, it's implied that he's from Moebius' future timeline, but his plot of the story is the same as Next Gen: destroy Sonic for something he may or may not have done that caused the end of the world.

Matt Herms, who drew a few issues back, done the colors here and I think he did a great job with the lighting effects for the most of the page, either be it indoor light, moonlight, or Special Effect Lightings.

The only real thing I had againist this issue is that we finally see what Super Socurge looks like, and Ian and Tracy made him a cross between Super Sonic and Dark Spine Sonic, but that's not the bad part. The bad part is that we don't see him actually see Scourge transform, nor the 'Anarachy Beryl' that allows him to do so. He just plops down on his throwne in normal form, followed by a close of up Sonic's face with the lighting of the tranformation, and we get a final page of a true bad hedgehog. When Knuckles turned into Enerjak, there was an 'mid-morph' form of him before crossing over completely. There was even a light show when Sonic and Scourge tapped into Master Emerlad. It would be have been cool to see Scourge holding the jewel with 'negative energy' surgeing around him as he tap into his super-form, but I guess this wil be left up to the fan-dom to make up.

Once again, another great issue from an overlooked seiries.

Ian Flynn is definitely leading to something big since issue 189 with the evil counterparts of Moebus and their invasion, something I hope as Big as Enerjak Reborn, if not bigger. For the last couple of issues, we've been introduced to some of the new characters. Boomer is a like a guy with a muscle car with his 'implants.  And Miles is definitely a little scheming boy genius. Patch has been establish as old school Antoine, being smug and pompus, but actually having the skills that Ant earned overtime.  The only one I haven't understand is who Princess Alicia is. Princess Sally is considerate, humble, and a brilliant tactition as a leader a leade of a team or a country, but being overthrown by Scourge to make room for Fiona, you have to wonder what's Alicia's postion fitts her personality.

Another leading up storyline is seeing how the once 'great' Dark Legion is doing working for Robotnik. The way the big fat Egg has been treating him, he's either goign to do something tottally evil to them, or they're going to make Ro-butt-nik lose soemthing. So far, the evil doctor has lost his robotic form, his Robians (roboticed Mobians), Mecha, ADAM, his control over Angel Island, and even his city is nearly wasted; so it will be a wonder whta will happen next if the Dakr Legion will get the upperhand.

The epilouge story was great. The way that Sonic's dad interact with his son's evil counterpart was classic on so many levels and I wish I see more stuff like this in other comics: Parents of heroes standing up to their kid's enemy. That would be a great idea for the X-Men. Not to mention it's give Scourge, the evil recolored hedgehog more depth as a character with his 'Daddy' issues that we're going ot find out in latter issues.

Another reason why I like this seires is that it's pretty much self-contain, but also it's weakness in noticablity. You just need to read in order to understand what's going on with the world without second guessing who is really who, when and where the story takes place; something that Marvel and DC should try abit more with Wolverine and Batman. And with that said, I'm can't wait till next issue to see all of the 'Sonic the Hedeghog' cast's douplegangers in Moebus.

Superboy was the first main stream comic book series that I bought. I started around Karl Kesel run on the second half of the series and I loved it.  Then Joe Kelly took over and it was okay. Not bad, but not great except for a couple of issues. Then Palmiotti and Didio gave the Kid a job as a super-attendant for slum apartment building and I didn't much care for it. Sort of like how kid actors in popular shows winding up in dead end jobs in their adult lives.

But this issue finally shows Superboy as I remembered him: a kid who is destined to inherit the superman title but can't seem to do anything right, especially when it comes to saving his friends. Even though seeing Superboy in the last couple of issues seem bad to me first, but I came to see that it was interesting to see a super hero  without a secret identity trying to live a normal life.

The ending of the issue was very well written, an end of one adventure for the Teen of Steel but gives ground  to a new one that will take place in Teen Titans.

I was hoping to get the previous issue of this series, but I couldn't find it my bookstore before this issue came out, so I am not up to speed of the entire storyline.

Basically, Logan made a deal with the High Evolutionary to take his Animal nature while a lemur-man named Prosimia had turned Shadowcat into a... cat.

Overall the story is very basic, the writer seemed to rush the story too much, giving most of the characters little depth and very quick turnarounds. If the this story arc was at least 3 or 4 issues long like  a 'Power Pack' or 'Sonic the Hedgehog' storyline, I would have love it. The fights between Man-Beast and the the High Evolutionary were amazing, but the epic showdown between the Feral New-Men and the Passive New-men was nowhere to be seen. What really bothered me was the price of this issue. $3.99 seemed a dollar too much for a simple 32 page comic, which includes the ads. If those have any of Kirby's work, then you should remembered how he could divide one issue into four chapters every 6  to 8 pages; a bit cut and dry, but a story that has a beginning, middle, and an end in one issue.

The art of the book was very good, it was the reason why I bought this. Not of lot of kid-friendly, comics get this kind of style, or at least from Archie or DC's Adventures.

Also, the art and the story seemed to pay tribute to the late Mike Wieringo, a former penciler of Marvels' works and an animal fan. And since this issue is dated on the month of Wieringo's passing away. The ending of the story really made me enjoy the issue. It was Marvel's way to honor one of their late artists and he love of stories.

After reading Infinite Crisis, 52,  and Countdown, you know that this issue is basically the first step of what's to come.

They have the main characters ready to be influence the events that are going to happening  in this issue. I may or may not spotted some clues what will happen in the future. My first thoughts on Final Crisis is that it's been about two years since the last Crisis, and I wonder what's going to be in store for DC Universe dning and after this. I just hope that they don't pull a One More Day on us.

I have been tempted to buy this volume since last summer and couldn't buy until after the school. At first, I was disappointed that it didn't really live up to the months of waiting (got so desperate that I found out the major plot twist but not the entire story itself).

Story: Even though the story sort of takes place in between and we're not given everyone's back story, but the story's plot and development makes up for that, even though they don't give out all the answers. So I gonna buy the 'Tales of Tellos' issues in order to found out for the fun of it. I like how they how included the two prologue  prelude issues in here too.

Art: It's Mike Wieringo. He balances out the realism and cartoonism in a good way. The colors are brilliant and amazing. Each of the characters have their own unique look.

Overall: If you're a fan of old school comic story telling, and sick of your favorite heroes either going emo or dying for promotional stunts, this book is for you. It's fun and suspenseful. But I can grantte you, once you read this, you'll want more.
