Fair enough, I just always try to booster Abneet and Lanning's stuff, since they don't get the marketing push of a Civil War or a Secret Invasion and I think that they tend to be much better. While I know it's a matter of taste, I actually really disliked Identity/Infinite Crisis and my loathing for Grant Morrison kept me from even picking up Final Crisis. I was reading 52 and actually quit reading it about halfway through. I am enjoying Blackest Night a lot as mentioned. Honestly, my only gripe with Johns is that I feel like he assumes everyone has the deep knowledge of and reverence for the DCU that he obviously doesxaos
Understandable. As I said, I loved Annihilation. But Conquest I felt was just trying to make money using Annihilation, but without the good story that the first had. War of Kings I had hoped would show the Inhumans. But SI: Inhumans, a 4 issue mini, had more Inhuman combat than WoK.
Final Crisis... eh, I didn't like that. I liked it until around the point where Batman died (even if I kinda did like his death). Then it just went down hill. But Final Crisis: Revelations was fantastic. It was kinda what SI: Inhumans was to Secret Invasion.
I personally loved Idenity Crisis and Infinite Crisis. I read Crisis on Infinite Earths before I read Infinite Crisis, though. 52 I loved.
I kinda like that writing. I don't like when writers feel the need to give history lessens. I can understand it can be helpful to newer readers, but I still prefer certain things to not be explained indepth.
