For me, Final Crisis issue #1 was rather disappointing. Whether it be the bitter taste in my mouth from the instant message I received weeks ago reading "Johnn Jonnz", or the mediocre issue... I was not impressed. This is supposed to be the "be all end all" of runs, finally bringing to a close 20 YEARS crisis' and it just didn't deliver that POW! My only hope is that next month brings redemption for the run.

I´m sorry I really am. I tried to like it, but it was to weird, and despite me liking weird, Final Crisis wasn`t the place to do so. I didn`t want dense and intricate writing, I wanted to get in to the story right away. geoff Johns did just that with Infinite Crisis 1 and even Bendis did that with Secret invasion. I stilll have hopes for the story, but IMHO, this issue was weak. I give it a 3 of 5
