Final Crisis by Grant Morrison

4.0

Grant Morrison's entry into the Crisis saga feels very different from the earlier books in the series. In fact, it has little to do with the multiverse at all until the final act, where it becomes something of a deus ex machina. Instead, the story opens with a superhuman murder mystery which quickly spirals into the tale of a world where the forces of evil finally with the ultimate conflict with the world's superheroes. When the multiversal elements enter the story, it functions less like a Crisis story and more like part of the grand meta-narrative that Grant Morrison has basically spent his entire career writing. As someone who likes the meta-narrative, I enjoyed this book. For people wanting another true DC Crisis, however, it's understandable that they were less than pleased.
