Comic Book Review: Final Crisis various series

For those of you who aren't comic book fans, you can skip this blog entry!
I just finished reading the last of DC Comic's "Final Crisis" issues (#7). When I read Final Crisis #6 and saw the introduction of that "wish machine" or whatever the hell it was, I knew that Superman would be the one to "put everything back to normal." - Besides him, in "Final Crisis Revelations" #5 (I think it's called that) the Spectre erases all of the bad things. To sum these storylines up, here's this horrible crisis where the world is chaos, and Oh, at the end of the world and multiverse, we'll come up with some machine that fixes everything. Stupid... and sending Batman back into prehistory or wherever the heck he is, was another stupid thing. If Superman could make things "right" then he could have resurrected Batman in present day. It's non-sensical and frustrating. Now I'm sorry I even bothered with Final Crisis. The Superman in 3-D was also horrible and not worth $4.50 per issue. The only saving graces: The Spectre (IMAGE FROM THE COVER- Credit: DC Comics) storyline was good, and so IS the Legion of Three worlds storyline (which is still going on), both of which really have nothing to do with the "Final Crisis" and Darkseid. Meanwhile, the storyline in Green Lantern, "Rage of the Red Lanterns" that started as a Final Crisis one-shot special and went into GL's own book, is a great storyline. That's it from Rob's comicbook corner!
