Comics this week

Final Crisis #4- Grant Morrison writing jujutsu lasted three issues of Final Crisis, keeping readers off guard by challenging the straightforward nature of good vs. evil. Say what you want about Morrison’s writing (I myself am not a great fan), but the mood is perfect. The mood and mystery pay off here as at the end of this issue, Darkseid and his gods kick the human race from pillar to post here. All that is left are 6 Watch Towers and the rag-tag heroes and villains who still have free will. However what is a Crisis without strange concepts that make your head spin? Barry Allen reverse-engineered to life out of faster-than-light particles? Darkseid picking Turpin as his new host? These strange crazy ideas make Final Crisis an extremely fun read.

Secret Invasion #7- There they go, the big showdown! Every hero and villain in the Marvel U against the might of the Skrulls. Good, because the sooner this series end, the better it will be for everyone. Secret Invasion has overstayed its welcome.
