Before Infinite Crisis began DC advertised that one of the four titles would lead right into Infinite Crisis. It was a perfect half truth! Rann-Thanagar war only talked about it towards the end and it wasn't the major cause of the war or anything. This is what happens at the end. A black hole forms, or somekind of Anoyomalie appears and a few people go out to check on it then the book is over with. THAT IS A "WHAT THE F%^&^* MOMENT!" Anyway, with that said lets look at this story line. The planet of Thanagar has been moved out of place by Rann technology, or so the Thanagarians think! Rannians being generous people offer to take the Thanagarians to their homeplanet (bad idea). The Thanagarians soon feel inferior (second class citizens) and they start to revolt on Rann. They also recuirte a few alien species to help them like all of them! It seem they want something called the zeta beam devices. (imagine star trek teleporters) However, the Rannians are unwilling to share this technology with anybody. As is their right, we don't just give our advance tech to any country that ask and neither will anybody else so everybody decides to try and take it by force when these types of situation arrises. Lets look at the faults of this book, If the Rannian's have technology that can teleport a being or a group of people from one place in the universe to the next. How come they don't use it to position their men in the perfect place 100 percent of the time? I mean behind the enemy, planet to ship transport or even planet to planet. Here is an idea, why not modify the zeta beam device to look for every quantum signature of the atomic structure of all the Thanagarians on the planet and teleport them to deep space or a distant planet. (Hey it's comics, people) Characters that I didn't care about, somebody dies and I don't give a damn. They don't take the time and introduce her to new readers like me, I've been a long time Marvel person and coming over to DC I don't know everybody just yet, but they introduce this character who I'm assuming hasn't made an apperance in over year (How long I've been reading DC at this point) and they introduce her in panel three and kill her in panel five or some S(**& like that. Main Villian is too easily defeated. The little girl looks like a grown midget ... I mean little person. There is suppose to be like a thousand different races against Rann but where are they? One last thing, The Zeta beam device teleports you by giving one a huge dose of radiation. Now I may only be getting my master's soon in phyiscs but huge doses of radiation such as that catman from another planet got should have killed him or he should have shown terrible radiation sickness. Every form of energy that arrives in huge doses has some kind of adverse effect on the indivual, unless of course then they get superpower then it's a positive effect but to have nothing at all happen to this catman from another planet is just a little too much. I can suspend my knowledge of physics and chemistry for a better story but when such atrocities does nothing to help, I can't over look it! This is something I can't over look, Sorry DC Comment | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)
