Spoilers. Final Crisis is a series that’s both mind-blowing and disappointing, a trippy, swirling superhero epic that amazes in some parts and really boggles in others. Big, grand moments awe, but fizzle quick. There are questions left unanswered: How did Barry Allen resurrect, exactly? How did the New Gods return? Where and when did the resurrected Batman reappear? What exactly did Renee Montoya do?
There are new characters that look great but add little to the story. And the cosmic-scale puzzles aren’t easy to understand or unravel. Still, some of them are reminiscent of Grant Morrison’s other imaginative science scenarios in All-Star Superman.
The art of the final issue is solid; as expected, Doug Mahnke capably illustrates earth-shaking, detailed battles and quiet scenes, extra-challenging story structure notwithstanding.
