I just want to forget about all of it.<BR/><BR/><BR/>There are still plenty of good, self-contained comics out there to read. Some even in the DC Universe that won't be jacked up by a univerasal event, universal event aftermath, universal event prelude, universal event side-story limited series, or plagued by crossover maddness.Newmie Newmzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01536002120122308738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5314000980489875634.post-6441231472117971132009-01-30T20:33:00.000-06:002009-01-30T20:33:00.000-06:00I have to give you credit, Nate, you had it called...I have to give you credit, Nate, you had it called way before I did.

The plot may twist and turn or go back and forth, but you can follow the story. At the end the all of the puzzle pieces fall into place and you see the big picture. I recommend Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughter House Five.<BR/><BR/>I do not recommend DC’s Final Crisis. It is not an example of non-linear storytelling. FC is more an example of nonsensical storytelling. It was full of plot holes and missing pieces and haphazardly executed. As for the final issue I have no idea what happened and furthermore, I don’t care. <BR/><BR/>FC was never a joy to read. It was neither deep nor clever. At best it comes across as a hallucinogen induced epiphany as told by someone completely tripping balls to someone who is stone-dead sober and just wants the balls tripper to shut the hell up, because, honestly, how can one relate?<BR/><BR/>I freely admit that I don’t “get” it. I doubt that few, if any, “get” it. If you claim to “get” it you are most likely lying to yourself to avoid feeling disappointed. If you do actually, really, truly “get” it you are either tripping balls (so you won’t get it when you come down, though you may remember “getting” it later) or you are Grant Morrison.<BR/><BR/>I've stated my opinion before that Grant Morrison is the most overrated comic writers of our time and I cite FC to support my opinion.<BR/><BR/>Now DC is building their universe (or rather multi-verse) on this piece. They’d have more luck building a house on quick sand.Newmie Newmzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01536002120122308738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5314000980489875634.post-21700384165701906992009-01-30T14:14:00.000-06:002009-01-30T14:14:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Newmie Newmzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01536002120122308738noreply@blogger.com
