Jim Kingman If Infinite Crisis #1 could be reviewed on the basis of anticipation alone, my silver bullet rating would need more ammunition.
After two issues of rollicking good times, the stakes are raised as the super-powered Freshman endeavor to fight crime.
"Prom Night" Keith Dallas We all know what happened when insecure, nerdy, ridiculed high school brainiac Peter Parker got bitten by a radioactive spider and obtained superpowers: after the avoidable murder of his Uncle Ben, he learned that with great power comes great responsibility.
“Act One” Michael Deeley Frankly, I expected something weirder from Grant Morrison.

“The Ring of Truth: Chapter Three” Bob Agamemnon Plot : The three-way confrontation between Agent 355 (Yorick’s protector), Hero (his sister), and Anna Strong (of the mysterious and almost certainly insidious Setauket Ring) is brought to a climax, but not resolved.
“Superboy and the Legion” Keith Dallas Teen Titans #16 offers a very engrossing cover: Superboy, Kid Flash and Wonder Girl grapple with The Persuader over his atomic axe in a mock World War II Iwo Jima pose.
“Chaos, Part Three of Four” Jason Cornwell Plot: As a small army of former Avengers cluster around the ruins of the Avengers Mansion, we see this collection of heroes is on hand when the place comes under attack from a full scale assault by a Kree invasion.
"Hero's Journey" Jason Cornwell Plot: The book takes a step backwards to look at key events in the life of Hero Brown, in an effort to reveal how she changed from a loving sister into a man-hating Amazon who was looking to kill Yorick.
