Tempers fly, secrets are unearthed and friendships shattered
when the spouse of a Justice League of America member is found
brutally murdered. With the entire superhero community on
edge, fearing that their loved ones will be next, fracture
lines begin to show in the heroes' previously united front
- threatening to tear them apart before they can bring the
killer to justice...
Identity
Crisis is a cracking graphic novel. It's like a murder
mystery, but with superheroes - all of whom are playing detective
and none of whom are beneath suspicion.
When
Ralph Dibney's, aka the Elongated Man, wife Sue is killed
by a mysterious assailant everything points towards the murderer
being a super villain or hero. As the Justice League of America
(JLA) set about trying to uncover who is behind this crime,
it soon becomes apparent that Sue will not be the last target
on the killer's hit list. None of the friends or family members
of the JLA are safe.
And
for a handful of members of the JLA there is an added complication.
How can they track down the killer, while at the same time
attempting to hide a terrible secret they must keep from the
other JLA members?
This
collection is not only incredibly well written and illustrated,
but the presentation is also first rate. Titan are, again,
spoiling us with a hardback edition with better than average
paper stock.
There's
also a really interesting addition to this collection. At
the back of the book there is a run down on who the artist
modelled each character on. Once you've read this, it's worth
flicking through the collection again and you'll see it in
a whole new light. For example, Ralph Dibney was based on
Danny Kaye and John Cleese was the model for Shining Knight.
The writer and artist also discuss this collection in a long
essay, broken down into easily digestible segments.
No
serious comics collector should be without a copy of this.
