DC Comics and Infinite Frontier #5 Spoilers and Review follows.
Revelation…
…Death and…
…Destiny?!
Plus some The Suicide Squad film, in theaters and on HBO Max now, hype.
The book opens with Psycho-Pirate getting readers caught up on the last four issues.
We then see his pitch to characters from across the multiverse to join his Injustice Incarnate that debuted at the end of last issue (full spoilers here).
In modern day, the Injustice Incarnate take on our heroes and seemingly include…
…Director Bones in his previous Mister Bones persona, but…
…does not include Extract who is from the same defunct Earth 2.
The Golden Age Green Lantern is ready to literally channel the Justice Society of America (JSA) and fight alongside his kids, Jade and Obsidian of Infinity Inc., against this threat.
President Superman is also in on that action, but first wants to save Barry Allen Flash from blinding fueling whatever it is that is key to Darkseid’s plan, but…
…he must confront a former friend and…
…partner in the Justice Incarnate…
…who has a Flashpoint vendetta.
In the end, our heroes are chained up allowing Darkseid to harness the energies of the multiverse with…
…a Dark Nights: Death Metal reviving Black Lantern Roy Harper being a key to it all?!
He seemingly sacrifices himself to free the heroes, but…
…in that effort…
…plays right into Darkseid’s hands as his Omega Lantern not really a Black Lantern?!
Next up is the finale in Infinite Frontier #6 (of 6) in stores next week.
After that, in November 2021, we get a new follow-up 5-part limited series called Justice League Incarnate.
The Pulse:
An intriguing yet convoluted issue; it’s always hard to make these broader cosmic narratives make sense in a plain language kind of way. I was entertained though and the art was decent. May need to read this a few more times to better understand what’s what and who’s who. 6 out of 10.
