Infinite Crisis - Part 1 (DC Comics)
Starred Review.Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, Earth's mightiest superheroes, have lost touch with the people they protect just as the heroes of the DC Universe must face a crisis that will rip their universe apart. OMAC cyborgs ruthlessly hunt them. The Secret Society of Supervillains has organized and ravaged masked heroes everywhere. The intergalactic war between the Ran and Thangar races is spilling over onto Earth. A once well-known hero, Spectre has gone on a rampage destroying all magical beings, good or evil. Richard Rohan drives the narration with a cool, stern voice that brings the story alive when blended with the dynamic soundtrack and sound effects. Though some vocal actors aren't the perfect match to their superhero counterparts, they all produce entertaining performances. The story-enhancing music ranges from calm and relaxing to intense and rapid. All serious actions within the production have their acoustic counterpart whether it's the activation of heat-ray vision, the impact of a thrown fist or the echoing shots of gunfire. Graphic Audio delivers an action and sound effect–loaded audiobook that lives up to its tagline, A movie in your mind.(May)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
