Grant Morrison's original stuff is great, but I hate it when he tries to write superheroes he didn't invent. He doesn't get it and it just doesn't work. I'd like to think this collection just doesn't include some issues that contained pivotal plot points, because otherwise Morrison's penchant for obfuscation is so out of control that he's totally incomprehensible.

The story bordered on good, but it was all over the place. There was no central character or storyline, and you never know what significance any action was supposed to have because on the next page something different is going on, and that character from the page before may never be seen again. Stuff just happens and doesn't mean anything. ( )

I read in one night, and was not impressed.

The story was all over the place with a plot that fell into the sinkhole of the universe. Basic story is that Superman is the superguy that everyone trusts to fix all wrongs... what a boyscout. These Crisis books seem to be more about throwing as many characters and confusing stories together as possible to get everyone's attention. Ugh. ( )
