The secrets of the DC Universe are hacked! Sanctuary wasn’t supposed to keep records, but now that the A.I. is compromised, superhero secrets are leaking all over the ’Net. Booster and Harley set aside their differences to focus on who they believe is the real killer (assuming one of them isn’t lying, that is). Meanwhile, Batman and the Flash continue to investigate the mysterious murderer. The answer can be found in Sanctuary…but is it safe to go digging in the crime scene?

Beautiful "Crisis"

Beautiful "Crisis"
Dark, disturbing, heartbreaking, enthralling... another fine installment to the series. Where Heroes In Crisis excels are in its quiet moments, when the art alone tells the story. These don't come as filler between action scenes-- the action is in the inaction, the desperation revealed in the silence. Best bits: Commander Steel relates what it feels like to die and how his life has become mere interludes between deaths, Harley Quinn discloses in a telling gesture the terrible price paid for loving the wrong person, and Superman strives to restore humanity's faith in its heroes.

I found every aspect of this issue to be excellent. An example of why the medium of comics is special. Art, story, characters, and dialogue all shining and working together.

4.0 out of 5 stars FINALLY! Getting some traction to this story...
Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2019

What can be set about "Heroes In Crisis" is a major letdown as far. I guess the story is not at all bad, but when it's hyped so much you expect the equivalent. As of now it has been a slow progression with some stories and confessions that are great on their own, but don't really tie up to the big story. (more like fillers than actually good content).

With this one, I believe the story is getting some traction and it finally escalates fast! Now expecting with more eagerness the next issues!

2.0 out of 5 stars Slow Moving Trainwreck
Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2019
We’re now over 55% of the way through the series and I remain bewildered as to where King is taking the story. There is a WHOLE lot of dialogue in this issue and although I think that King is a superior writer when it comes to believable dialogue I may have reached the point of oversaturation. The problem may be that the story has never captured me so a lot of the dialogue just comes off as inane yammering. There is an entire page of a character named Solstice, doing an interview for Sanctuary. She changes from some oil covered form, to a regular female and back to her original form and screams while electricity surges around her. Solstice is a very minor character from Teen Titans but I had never heard of her before this and these kinds of brief appearances by super obscure characters are like speed bumps on an already shaky plot. Why spend so much time making characters relatable that almost no one cares about? If King decided he was going to take Solstice and do something interesting with her that would be one thing but these one page throw away interviews break the momentum of any plot he’s going for.

I wrote in my review of issue 4 that I believed that this entire mystery of the killings is a red herring. I don’t believe that Harley Quinn did it and I don’t believe that Booster Gold did it. I suspect that the killings didn’t even occur. My guess is that it was the AI in Sanctuary that did SOMETHING but I’ve never found the story compelling enough to actually care. Does this issue advance the plot one bit? I would say… nope. Tom King is one of my favorite writers and the art in the series is spectacular. I just think the execution is horrendous and King may be blinded by his own emotional attachment to the project. There is a speech by Superman that is so over the top that I couldn’t help but cringe. I’m sure King spent a lot of time crafting it but in the real world it would have gone over like a lead balloon.

Every month, IGN gushes over the latest issue of Heroes in Crisis and every month the comments below eviscerate it. The disconnect between reader and reviewer is just astounding and it’s not just IGN. The last 3 issues have had very weak aggregate scores in the low 7’s but a surprising amount of reviewers are giving the books 9’s and 10’s. Issue 7 has an aggregate score of 7.4 from professional reviewers but the user rating is a 5.6. As lukewarm as the professional review scores have been they are well above the average reader. The number of issues shipped dropped from 140k with issue 1 to 83k with issue 3. A 41% drop in 2 issues is pretty bad. I get no enjoyment out of reviewing something Tom King produced this harshly because I’ve really enjoyed other things he’s done including Mister Miracle but with every issue I become more and more convinced that the series is beyond saving. I want to be proven wrong but for me, this one is a dud.
