hobbes Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 I blew this off originally but after reading Goerge's comments on his website I may give it read. CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS (Novel) (Apr 2005) From George Perez's website: First, I've been talking for several weeks about "The novel." The editing is done and I'm awaiting notes, etc. But since I see that it's already on Amazon.com including with the cover, I thought I'd run it on this site, too. The book is a completely new take on the original Crisis story with probably 70% new material. Whereas the original was cosmic in scope, this one is very personal. I'll talk about it more over the next few months. Amazon.com doesn't yet mention that this is an original novel and not a new edition of the reprinted comic, so it's important that if you want the novel you buy the book with the above cover. The book is scheduled to be published in May, but Amazon is taking pre-orders. Cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delightful! Truly a treat to watch as you expose The Monster's innate comic snobbery! That will teach him to turn his snout to such fine writing and superior artwork! (Oh yeah, and FFB?

hobbes Posted October 8, 2004 Author Share Posted October 8, 2004 I like the idea of Crisis from a "personal" perspective. I loved the huge scale of the series but I felt that the death of many of the heroes lacked emotional impact. I think if the novel follows through with a more intimate, less cosmic approach then the story will have a greater emotional effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved the huge scale of the series but I felt that the death of many of the heroes lacked emotional impact. Exactly. When Supergirl died, I was like "THIS is what so many people got worked up about? Yeesh." It had all the emotional impact of an Image Comics swimsuit issue.
