About the authors
Geoff Johns is an award-winning and New York Times bestselling writer, film and television producer, showrunner, and entrepreneur known for re-imagining superheroes and other iconic mythologies, past and present. Johns is best known for his work on properties such as Green Lantern, Aquaman, The Flash, Superman, Batman, Justice Society of America, and most recently, the creator-owned hit series Geiger, currently being adapted for television at Paramount.
Since the beginning of his creative career, Johns' hallmark has been writing heroic and inclusive characters, including teenage hero Courtney Whitmore aka Stargirl, inspired by his real-life late sister; the Shazam Family, which he re-imagined into a diverse modern family of today; and the first Arab-American Green Lantern, Simon Baz, as well as the explosive multi-colored Lantern mythology that defined his decade-long bestselling Green Lantern run, among many, many others.
Johns’ most recognized work in television is the critically acclaimed Stargirl series which he created and ran. Some of his film credits include Wonder Woman (executive producer), Wonder Woman 1984 (also co-writer), Aquaman (also story) and Shazam! (executive producer), based on his graphic novel with longtime collaborator and modern legendary artist Gary Frank.
In 2023, Johns co-founded Ghost Machine, the first-of-its-kind creator-owned company. This groundbreaking collective includes some of the industry’s most legendary writers and artists, disrupting the old industry model by giving ownership to its creators, and paving the way for them to retain creative control and financial participation.
Born in Detroit to a Lebanese father, Johns was honored with his own permanent section at the Arab American National Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.
Drew Geraci is a comic book creator, born in Pittsburgh, Pa. An Art Institute of Pittsburgh graduate, he spent years in advertising, before turning to comics. His work has been published internationally for DC, Marvel, Disney, Golden Books and others. Credits include work for projects attached to Marvel Studios' The Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy.

Comic book highlights include Star Wars, X-Men, Batman, Superman, Birds of Prey Nightwing, JLA, Thor, and Mass Effect, based on the popular game.
Drew's currently combining two of his passions, indie rock music and crime fiction, to write his prose novel series, The Demands, published by NDY Books. Exclusively available on Amazon in both Kindle and print format. The Demands Book One was released September 12, 2015. The Demands is based on a fictional indie rock band of the same name. The band builds a following, one bar at a time, some owned by the local Russian Mob. If the mob wasn't enough trouble, they also forge through obstacles of in-fighting, audience indifference, lineup changes, drugs, family problems, back-stabbing and political intrigue. All while promoting themselves as the second coming of rock and roll. Dark Humor and dark deeds on the road to success for a band striving for survival and recognition.

The Watchtower has crashed in the JLA run with key final scene being that it was crashed by someone who looks like Superman. The single issue of the Countdown to Infinite Crisis explains how Blue Beetle died and that Wonder Woman kills the character that killed him. The Omac Project mini-series explains what are the Omacs and possibly the creation of Brother Eye by Batman. Day of Vengeance mini-series deals with the magic part of the event and Rann-Thanagar War mini-series name is self-explanatory. And don't forget the Villains United which shows how Lex Luthor creates his own Secret Society of Super Villains. Honestly I would love to see these collected in one or two "Road to Infinite Crisis" digital TPBs.
With that said, once everything becomes clear (either because you've read all of the above or checked out wiki), the book itself is amazing. Lots of narratives, epic scale and brutal fights depicted by amazing artists and dramatic storyline. After reading this I consider myself a fan of Geoff Jones now.

A transformação do Superboy Prime por outro lado é perfeitamente cabível e justificável.
No final das contas temos uma boa história, bem concisa, com consequências e o mais importante: respeitando a "natureza" dos personagens e a forma como eles haviam sido desenvolvidos e apresentados até aqui. Uma obra que não só superou e muito a anterior como a homenageou decentemente, homenageou o primeiro super-herói e encerrou sua história e usou o que de melhor a DC tinha para oferecer até então e dá melhor forma possível dentro dessa proposta.
Ps: Essa obra matou bilhões menos do que Crise nas Infinitas Terras e ainda assim passou muito mais sensação de consequências devastadoras e impactantes.
Pra fãs de quadrinhos ou da DC vale muito a leitura, mas o ideal é passar pela sofrível e arrastada Crise nas Infinitas Terras antes para aproveitar esta ao máximo.
A high impact storyline from Geoff Johns which clearly outlined the perceived problems with the comic book heroes being too dark and lacking in inspiration for readers. Here, readers get to see the paradigm being shifted as characters face up to their internal problems as much as the external ones, coming through the other side changed and hopefully improved.
The artwork is stunning and encourages the eye to look into the corners as well as focus on the focal point and to notice what is happening in the shadows as much as in the brightest light.
El hard case (de cartón fuerte y macizo)esta perfecto, el libro es un oversized bien logrado y con calidad tanto en hojas como en impresión, los extras son la cereza del pastel(bocetos, notas, arte no ultilizado, variaciones de los dibijantes)
Todo en conjunto forma un absolute digno de biblioteca
Si lo puedes comprar no te podrás arrepentir
