Infinite Crisis #6
Written by Tony Whitt
Tuesday, 18 April 2006
(excerpt)
Alexander Luthor continues to try to
create the “perfect Earth” with the help of Brother Eye and the heroes
whose power he has tapped for his tower. Meanwhile, the Supermen of
Earth-1 and Earth-2 put aside their differences to fight for a common
cause, while the Superboy of Earth-1 and the Superboy of Earth-Prime,
who has managed to return to wreak more havoc, simply fight — and this
time, it’s to the death.
There’s one heckuva lot going on in this
penultimate issue of Infinite Crisis, so don’t feel inadequate if you
find yourself getting lost. Hell, the busy art layouts are enough to
induce that sort of confusion, let alone a script that’s choc-a-bloc
with this and that happening. The fault for the business of the layouts
cannot be laid at the feet of Phil Jimenez, Jerry Ordway, George Pérez,
and the eight (!) other artists charged with bringing this epic to the
printed page. Writer Geoff Johns has given them a lot to illustrate and
keep clear, so it’s no wonder when some of the most interesting bits get
lost in the shuffle.

stalking legislation and the inherent distance of internet communication
allow) via

(excerpt)
Even though the art was split among
several hands, I really didn’t feel the dissonance. For the most part,
the guest artists stuck to specific storylines, and that makes sense in
the overall tapestry. It certainly made sense for Perez to do the
two-page spread of the multiple Earths in conflict, given his history.
(The page is also home to a fantastically elaborate in-joke; Earths 154
and 462 are slammed together into a new Earth where the heroes are
waging a . . . wait for it . . . Civil War. Yeah, 154 + 462=616. Funny).

Sunday Slugfest - Infinite Crisis #6
Posted: Sunday, April 9
(excerpt)
Michael Aronson:
Infinite Crisis is a big, giant, incoherent, wonderful, silly mess. I
can’t help myself, my fanboy passion kicks in whenever I look at this
comic. It needed eleven artists because this comic would have killed
only one. Infinite Crisis is truly the spectacle so large that even
George Perez, the Hercules of crowd scenes, needs ten collaborators to
illustrate this book. I love InC for that.
Kevin T. Brown:
Overall, IC #6 is the best issue to date. It’s also the toughest one to
review. I felt after issue #4 that Geoff Johns had hit the pinnacle of
the series. This issue proved that wrong. While that issue and this both
have received the highest bullet rating we can give, I would have loved
to go much higher. Right now I feel like Nigel Tufnel saying we should
go one louder. Heck with it, this review goes to 6 Bullets. One louder.
This issue is deserving of it. Man, what a ride!

For sheer volume, April 5th was a good comics week for Perez fans:
- JSA #83 Second Printing has a cool 'negative exposure' of the cover of the first printing
- JSA #84
- Infinite Crisis #6
- The Official Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide #36
Not sure if there's anything
Perez-specific in it, but InQuest Gamer #133, also released April 5th,
includes a preview of the Infinite Crisis Vs. collectible card set.

INKING JIM LEE's INFINITE CRISIS #6 COVER

Infinite Crisis #6 has been moved up a week and is now scheduled to ship on March 29th (previously listed for April 5th), according to www.dccomics.com and www.newsarama.com .
From George Pérez
I've been reading a bit of misinformation regarding my involvement with
INFINITE CRISIS #6. When I read I was drawing all of Issue 6 I knew that
the lines of communication had gotten tangled up a mite.
Here's the real scoop: Due to scheduling
conflicts and time constrictions I will only be drawing 5 pages of issue
6, instead of the originally planned 12. Three of those pages are being
reproduced from my pencils while the others (a double-pager) have been
pencilled and inked by me.
This will allow me to get right to providing more artwork for Issue 7, although I don't know exactly how many pages that will be.

Our Worlds In Crisis
Contrary to an earlier rumor that George
Perez will draw the entire issue of Infinite Crisis #6, I hear that his
page count for that issue will be closer to 17, so that will still leave
almost half the issue for the rest of the artistic team to handle.
(If true, there is a Minor Spoiler ahead. Don’t select the Inviso Text if you don’t want to know.)
I’m also told that the Multiverse will
NOT be reestablished at the end of the miniseries. As before, there will
be just one Earth.

A double-page spread of the skyline over Titans Tower and the Golden Gate Bridge showed many, many Earths in the background sky.

WIZ CHI '05 PEREZ COVERS INFINITE CRISIS
posted 08-06-2005 07:28 PM
BY NATHAN JEWELL
Bob Wayne, Greg Rucka, Dan DiDio and Joan Hilty were on the Infinite Crisis panel at Wizard World Chicago.
Not a lot of new announcements were made, but the panelists did say
that Ted Kord, Max Lord, Sue Dibny, and Barry Allen would not be making a
return to the DCU after the Infinite Crisis.
RANDOM NOTES
The new 52 weekly series is directly spun out of events occurring in Infinite Crisis #4,
which ships in March of 2006. There will be multiple teams on 52 to
ensure that it's a continuous event and will come out on time.
DC announced that fan favorite artist George Perez will be drawing all the seven covers of Infinite Crisis.
There was cryptic news that Keith Giffen
is working on a new series, but the publisher would not confirm what it
was about or who was featured in the comic.
DCU continuity will be sustained after the Infinite Crisis.
These titles are unaffected by Infinite Crisis: Brave and the Bold, Plastic Man, the All Stars line, and Legion of Super-Heroes.
These characters are not coming back to the DCU: Ted Kord, Barry Allen, Maxwell Lord, or Sue Dibny.
When asked about a possible new Blue Beetle, the panelists said, "If there is a new Blue Beetle, it won't be Ted Kord."
Keep checking back with THE PULSE for more from Wizard World Chicago.

TROJAN WARRIOR: JIMENEZ TALKS: "DC SPECIAL: THE RETURN OF DONNA TROY"

Donna Troy was one of the most beloved members of the DC Comics Teen
Titans. Fans mourned her death in the "Graduation Day" mini-series and
rejoiced when DC announced the four-issue "DC Special: Return of Donna
Troy" mini-series by writer Phil Jimenez and artist Jose Garcia Lopez.
However, when some readers picked up the first issue of the series they
found it wasn't quite what they expected and some were left confused.
CBR News chatted with Jimenez by phone last week for some clarification
and background on the series and some hints on how it ties into the
looming "Infinite Crisis."
(excerpt)
After the DC Universe settles down from
the events of "Infinite Crisis," readers can expect appearances from
Donna in a monthly DC book. "I think there's been some talk. The plan
had always been that once she was reintroduced she would be placed in
either the 'Titans' or 'The Outsiders.' I suspect it will be one of
those books."
Jimenez has enjoyed crafting a story that
reintroduces one of his favorite characters and places her at the
forefront of the big events in the DC Universe. He urges readers who may
be confused or have questions to stick with the book. The final two
issues of "The Return of Donna Troy" should tie things together for them
nicely. "I just hope readers remembers that it is a four-issue series,"
Jimenez said. "Just because everything wasn't explained in issue one
doesn't mean it doesn't pan out over the other three issues."

DC'S EDITORIAL CHANGE-UP: DIDIO EXPLAINS

The changes coming to the DC Universe following Infinite Crisis won’t be
limited just to the characters. DC Executive Editor Dan DiDio has
confirmed for Newsarama that, following the seven-issue Infinite Crisis
miniseries, DC editorial will see a significant change as well.
In a brief chat with Newsarama Friday
morning, DiDio initially explained some of the rationale behind the
upcoming “One Year Later…” jump all the DCU titles will experience
coming out of Infinite Crisis between February and March of 2006.
“We had an editorial meeting to talk
through Crisis - how we’re going to handle it, how we’re going to
coordinate it, and how we’re going to follow it,” DiDio said. “When the
suggestion was made by editorial of maybe doing a leap ahead in
storylines, it gave us an interesting hook that would really play
nicely, because it would allow you to get back into your characters in
their own individual stories again, without being made to feel that
they’re all coming from the same place and the same time. With
everything running as tightly as it will be in Crisis, the last thing we
wanted to do was follow it by having all the series coming from the
same exact place, and the same exact time, because that can get a little
redundant. This allows for every series to have its own individual
identity again, and allows us to get the balls back up in the air as
quickly as possible and get right back into the heart of what makes each
character special.”

05 SUMMER PREVIEW: THE RETURN OF DONNA TROY
written by Chris Ward
printed in WIZARD #165 (Jul 2005)
www.wizarduniverse.com
The former Titan resurfaces with clues to 'Crisis'.
It's a brand-new dawn for Donna!
Originally Wonder Girl Donna Troy, seemingly killed in Titans/Young Justice: Graduation Day mini-series but instead transported to a strange world, roars back to life in DC Special: The Return of Donna Troy.
written by Phil Jimenez with art by Jose Luis Garcia and George Perez,
the four issue mini also serves as the official prologue to October's Infinite Crisis mini-series (drawn by Jimenez and written by Geoff Jones).
"This series sets Donna Troy up as a
major player in the Crisis itself," the writer says. "It also connects
to the cosmic events of the Rann/Thanagar War and the Teen Titans and
the Outsiders. We're using her background and history to explain why
she's so pivotal to the DC Universe, and why she, more than anyone else,
has to be in the role she's about to take on."
Plus August's issue #3 is girl-on-girl action when Donna tangles with current Wonder Girl Cassie Sandsmark!
