Infinite Frontier #1 Review

Writer: Joshua Williamson / Artist: Xermancio / DC Comics Infinite Frontier, the flagship title of this new era of DC Comics, is here, and it infinitely slaps. It’s also only a 6 issue mini-series, which to me promises a tight story that hits fast. I’m looking forward to it.  Infinite Frontier centers around the Justice Incarnate, a Justice League team made up of different versions of mainstay Leaguers, only from different Earths in the multiverse.  For instance, there’s Calvin Ellis Superman, Flashpoint Batman, Alan Scott Green Lantern, and our main Flash. All on one team. My inner 8-year-old is screaming. The Justice Incarnate’s job is to make sure there are no major changes in the multiverse. Spinning out of Death Metal, where the multiverse died and was born anew, it’s only fitting that there’s some group that has a sole purpose to protect such a thing from happening again. 

Infinite Frontier #1 was mostly set up, which is not a complaint at all. Williamson does a good job of dropping us into this world, teaching us the rules, and having fun while doing it. I wasn’t ever the least bit confused, and I was along for every twist and turn that we were gifted.  There was a tease of what the conflict will be, though. The Flash’s job on this team is to use his Speed Force powers to travel the multiverse and make sure everything is good, kind of like a scouter ant looking for food. He manages to breach a doorway to Earth Omega, where a lot of mystery reside…
