G., Mahnke, Doug, Pacheco, Carlos, Clark, Matthew: Books Review: Morrison ponders what makes a hero-and it's not superpowers - It's easy to say that DC Comics' "Final Crisis" crossover deals with supervillain Darkseid's plot to overthrow reality, and the subsequent deaths and corruption of various DC Universe characters. Sure, writer Grant Morrison includes plenty of the epic, property-destroying slugfests that are the hallmarks of events such as these. However, he's got much more on his mind than providing empty spectacle. He's interested in answering the question "What makes a hero?" His answer: Being a hero doesn't require superpowers. It requires not only sacrificing for others, but also doing things that make you uncomfortable-qualities all of us can aspire to. Batman, of course, makes the ultimate sacrifice with his life-though, this being big-time comics, the Dark Knight's death wasn't permanent. (Morrison himself brought Batman back to the land of the living in a subsequent storyline, "The Return of Bruce Wayne.") Superman also risks his life for the DC Multiverse's sake. Indeed, the DC heroes exhibit traits that the villains covet. Darkseid's minions want to steal Batman's "superior physical prowess, strategic acumen and courage"-because those are the qualities that make Batman what he is. (It's not gadgets like Batmobiles or Batarangs. Sorry, toy manufacturers.) How Morrison tells his tale is just as interesting as the questions he addresses in it. All of the concepts in Darkseid's Anti-Life Equation-including loneliness, alienation, fear and despair-equal chaos. Morrison expresses that chaos in the way he tells his story. It's a method that demands much more of the reader's attention and thought than the typical superhero saga, but the payoff is well worth the effort. In Morrison's view, every element of the Anti-Life Equation represents the antithesis of what makes a hero, and the qualities that make heroes what they are-not just self-sacrifice, but also self-confidence and relatability-promote the power of hope in the face of dire circumstances. As Batman's trusty right hand Alfred puts it, "No matter how dark the night...there will be no hiding place for evil." Not even an evil as great as Darkseid, who personifies the hate and the chaos that drive this story. Despite the presence of many different pencillers, the art holds together well throughout. J.G. Jones eventually needed help from Carlos Pacheco and Doug Mahnke to complete the series, and Lee Garbett pencilled two "Batman" issues pertinent to the story. All of the pencillers and inkers, as well as the letterers and colorists, maintain the story's epic scope from beginning to end, and keep everything uniform so the changes in artists aren't so jarring as to take the reader out of the story completely. This capstone to the trilogy that began with "Crisis on Infinite Earths" and continued in "Infinite Crisis" demands careful reading, but both the themes and the storytelling method will reward readers so inclined. Because Morrison expresses the power of both superheroes and storytelling, "Final Crisis" is a work that deserves to be studied and revisited. Review: Brilliant - Another year, another comic mega-event. Or so it would seem that way anyway. Let it be known from this point forward that Final Crisis is definitely unlike any other comic mega-event you'll ever read, mainly thanks to the fact that none other than Grant Morrison (New X-Men, All Star Superman, Batman RIP, Animal Man, Doom Patrol; c'mon, you know the list) is at the helm. With Final Crisis, Morrison offers up a different sort of superhero story that begs the question of just what it really means to be a hero: what happens when evil wins? That's what we learn as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Hal Jordan, the rest of the JLA, and every other person on the planet enter the darkest hour the world has ever known, as Darkseid brings his denziens of Apokolips to Earth, and everything just seems to go to hell from that point forward. While it certainly helps a little bit being brought up to speed by checking out the side stories, tie-in's, and lead-up's to this event, what makes Final Crisis so good is how different a path it sets itself out on compared to other, more linear mega-events like Infinite Crisis, Secret Invasion, Civil War, and the like. To be honest I wasn't too thrilled the first time I read through Final Crisis when released as single issues, but reading it over again in this collected format has certainly helped make me realize just how grand a canvas Morrison has been playing with here. The artwork from a variety of contributors, including J.G. Jones (whose contributions are sadly not as profound or present as one would hope), Doug Mahnke, Carlos Pacheco, and more besides is wonderful as well, and nicely complements the scale of Morrison's story, even though it should go without saying that Final Crisis is a superhero epic that is definitely not for all tastes. Heroes are resurrected and die, the world crumbles, and good doesn't always end up triumphing over evil; yet in the end, there's still a small glimmer of hope regardless. Something like this is something rarely seen in mainstream superhero comics, which helps make Final Crisis all the more brilliant a work indeed. Stop reading, pick this up. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 140124517X | | Best Sellers Rank | #281,395 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #746 in DC Comics & Graphic Novels #3,521 in Superhero Comics & Graphic Novels | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (976) | | Dimensions | 6.69 x 0.71 x 10.12 inches | | Edition | Revised ed. | | ISBN-10 | 9781401245177 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1401245177 | | Item Weight | 1.39 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of Series | Final Crisis | | Print length | 352 pages | | Publication date | April 22, 2014 | | Publisher | DC Comics | | Reading age | 1 year and up | ## Images ![Final Crisis (New Edition) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71dFkREITKL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Morrison ponders what makes a hero-and it's not superpowers *by L***Y on May 29, 2018* It's easy to say that DC Comics' "Final Crisis" crossover deals with supervillain Darkseid's plot to overthrow reality, and the subsequent deaths and corruption of various DC Universe characters.
