Featuring a great story, some powerful character moments and some impressive artwork, Heroes in Crisis turned out to be a fun and heartfelt comic that I had a wonderful time reading and which has really stuck in my mind. King, Mann, and their artistic team produced a clever comic that really dives into the minds of the collected heroes of the DC universe. This was a very unique and fascinating crossover comic which contains some notable flaws, but is something that I quite enjoyed. Can the killer be caught before they strike again, or will this case irreparably damage the world’s greatest superheroes? Whatever happens, the DC universe will never be the same again. As the heroes attempt to uncover the killer lurking amongst them, their world will be further turned upside down when the confessions and therapy sessions recorded at Sanctuary are leaked to the media, casting a new light on them. However, Booster and Harley are both convinced that they saw the other commit the crime, and are now out to stop the other survivor by any means necessary. The answer may lie with the only two survivors of the Sanctuary massacre, the greatest hero you have never heard of, Booster Gold, and the mad clown princess, Harley Quinn. But who is responsible for the killings, and could the culprit be one of their own? As the world’s superheroes reel from the deaths of friends and colleagues such as Roy Harper, Red Devil, Commander Steel, Poison Ivy and Wally West, their thoughts swiftly turn to justice. However, no sanctuary lasts forever, and after losing contact with the facility, Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman arrive to find Sanctuary in shambles and several patients brutally killed. Sanctuary is a hidden facility containing a cutting-edge artificial intelligence programmed to provide advanced therapy, support and counselling to any hero that needs it after harsh battles and traumatic events. Realising this and determined to help their fellow superheroes, the trinity of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman designed Sanctuary. Heroes in Crisis turned out to be a rather fun and intriguing comic, especially as King came up with another fascinating narrative.Īfter years of fighting and surviving against the very worst evils in the universe, even the greatest heroes will start to crack under the unreal pressures of their chosen lives. I was also drawn to this comic as I am major fan of Tom King and Clay Mann after the work they recently did on Batman, which featured some really cool and compelling storylines. However, I recently grabbed the Heroes in Crisis collected edition (containing all nine issues of the limited series), mostly because I had heard some conflicting reports about whether it was any good, and I thought that it would be worth seeing just what sort of comic it really was. Now I have to admit that I have been somewhat avoiding a lot of the recent DC crossover events, mainly because I think the universe is getting a bit too complicated, what with the multiple versions of characters and timelines. For this latest Throwback Thursday article, I look at an interesting DC Comics crossover event from a couple of years ago, the deep and compelling Heroes in Crisis. Welcome back to my Throwback Thursday series, where I republish old reviews, review books I have read before or review older books I have only just had a chance to read. Normally nixing the cape for the plain coat, his other attire is the same color as well.Publisher: DC Comics (Paperback – 1 October 2019)Īrtists: Clay Mann, Travis Moore, Lee Weeks, Mitch Gerads, Jorge FornesĬolourists: Tomeu Morey, Arif Prianto, Mitch Gerads Haou dresses in dark clothing, usually seen sporting a black and gold trimmed coat and sometimes if wanted, a long, blood red cape connected by purple baubles across his chest. He takes pride in his appearance, and stature, never getting his hands dirty with anything, and thinking himself superior to others. The former ruler of Dark World uses Evil Heroes (a variant to Juudai’s Elemental Heroes) as well as dark cards like Super Polymerization, Dark Calling, and Dark Fusion. Malicious and highly uncaring for anyone besides himself, Haou takes great pride in his accomplishment in conquering Dark World. He sees Dueling as a way to dominate over people and is a bit of a loner. Haou is pretty much the opposite of Juudai - cold, calm, and collected. The darker, more harsh half of Yuuki Juudai’s soul.
