sdelmonteNo time to really say much today.
In short? Final Crisis is a mess. It borders on the incoherent, it doesn't feel like a Morrison comic at all, and all the pretty artwork by JG Jones can't save it. I will try the second issue in hopes that things make more sense, or that at least we get some Morrisonian weirdness. But all my hopes are on the verge of being dashed.
Batman, part two of "Batman RIP" is a bit scattered as well, but the art and power of the narrative do wonders to keep me reading. Things are coming together, even as they are falling apart for Batman. I am not sure I love what Morrison is trying to do, or how he's doing it, but I can see that he is giving this his all and in a very gripping way.
All-Star Superman brings us the penultimate issue of this series, and after the brilliance of the last issue, this one seems a bit flat, and adds a new character who doesn't add much to the tale. (ETA: the character did appear before, I recalled, but still doesn't add much.) But it still reads very well, and Morrison continues to write a nearly perfect Superman. I suspect that the final issue will bring everything together in a way that makes me happy.
