Now THAT is how you write a quality comic book. The artwork is spectacular -- there's scarcely a panel wasted, not one that isn't very dramatically blocked and quite a few that are right up there with great moments on film. The story is gripping and written with a surprisingly careful hand. Too often, comic book writers remake the characters they inherit in order to ink their own private childhood fantasies. Meltzer, on the other hand, did his homework and took the time to parse out the many facets of the DC heroes and villains, creating a story that flows naturally from what previous writers have told us and reminds us of quite a few things readers might have forgotten over the years. A really strong series that strikes a great balance between the legends of DC characters and more human, vulnerable moments -- a dichotomy that is, after all, the point of Identity Crisis.
Thought this was just okay. The entire book was set in China, which was interesting, but I found all the history and names referenced very confusing.
