Final Crisis #4 needed to happen 3 issues ago.
One could almost read this issue not having picked up the first 3 issues. I'm not that impressed with the artwork panel by panel, but JG JONES gives great one-page splashes (See the last page of the book for a GREAT example.)
Grant Morrison is terrific at being able to set things up for a big pay-off at the end or a follow-up. (I'm reminded of the "Rock of Ages" storyline in the JLA series written by Morrison in which Darkseid takes over the world)
How about the "
7 Soldiers of Victory"? Same thing.
I decided to stick with this book mainly because I hate having 3 issues of a series and not the rest of them. I'm glad I did, if for the only reason of seeing if #5 is even better than #4.
Darkseid is.
BACK.
