And that’s a problem because the book assumes you’ve read them all, launching straight into the references to them from the beginning.

I read one Countdown to Infinite Crisis book - The OMAC Project - two years ago and none of the other various titles so a lot of what makes up Infinite Crisis is a total mystery to me. So killing them all, not to mention countless innocents, isn’t at all hypocritical! Why? Because the current superheroes are just too dark and gritty for their liking. The story is that the Golden Age DC superheroes, who were retired at the end of the original Crisis, have decided to come back, kill everyone, and destroy all worlds, forming a single perfect new world for them alone. Did someone say Sequel To Crisis On Infinite Earths? No? Well, Geoff Johns wrote one anyway - this is Infinite Convolution!
