THE ART
To begin, the art is avant-garde DC art. The artists on the crossover are Mark Verheiden, Tom Derenick, Ed Benes et al. With writers Greg Rucka and Gail Simone, the Infinite Crisis prelude deconstructs the DC Trinity. In the most important story in the event, the artists’ pencils with curvy physiques and high octane perspective in muted and bloody coloring make the comic a true present.
Certainly, Tanya and Richard Horie’s coloring matches the pulp tone of the story arc with the right contrast between skin tone, muted blood and darkness. And the composite pencils of DC powerhouses have distinctiveness. Notably, their proportionate musculature and curved physiques have added fatality. Nevertheless, the comic excels at drama and the panel below shows the artists’ mastery!
THE FIGHT
In a pulp gladiatorial battle, a mind-controlled Superman battles Wonder Woman to the death in space and on Earth.
The battle to decide who is the strongest superhero!
WINNER: WONDER WOMAN WINS
