A review by hakimbriki
Final Crisis by Grant Morrison
5.0
If I ever hear someone ask the question "What is an acid trip like?" I would be more than happy to give that person a copy of Final Crisis.
I really understand why Final Crisis is hated amongst the Comic Book community. Apart from Batman's death, the event is pretty much 'uneventful'. Morrison giving important roles to lesser-known characters (Turpin, Mister Miracle, Nix Uotan the Monitor...)may also confuse newcomers to the DC Universe, and some subplots developed in tie-in issues are integral to the core story (i.e Batman's escape from The Lump, etc).
I absolutely loved Final Crisis. Some might call it disjointed, pretentious or confusing, I call it surreal, genre-transcending and horrific. Morrison inject weird and clever Sci-fi concepts into the one of the most enthralling comic book storylines I have ever read. I particularly liked the idea of the "orrery of worlds", which gets me excited about Morrison's next DC event - Multiversity.
