Infinite Crisis by Greg Cox

Based upon the comic book series by DC Comics, Infinite Crisis is about the world's greatest superheroes, Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, as they struggle with their own internal turmoil while the world comes unraveled before them. The story is hard to follow since there's a lot going on at the same time. Because there are parallel characters, it's even harder to keep them all straight and which universe you're in. I'm certain this looked far better in the graphic comic books but the story doesn't translate well into a novel. Save your money on this one and buy the graphic novel instead.

	52: The Novel by Greg Cox 52 is based upon the comic book series published by DC Comics and picks up after Infinite Crisis. The world's superheroes, Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, have disappeared or simply sequestered themselves. In their place, new heroes emerge to continue the fight for justice...blah, blah, blah. I just can't get into these type of books anymore. I found this equally dry and boring as Infinite Crisis. Clearly, the comic series was very successful for DC. For some reason, it just doesn't translate well into a novelization. I would say to skip the novel and pick up the graphic novel instead.
