I guess I can see how some of you aren't in to Final Crisis, but I don't see how some of you same people can rave on about Secret Invasion when it's been four issues of the Avengers doing nothing in the Savage Land and various heroes popping in and out of New York City and doing nothing.

Because they didn't unplug the internet because an e-mail was sent out.
no they just hacked a whole network that tony stark set up to control the weather
that's a whole lot more believable
wait what
the skrulls aren't controlling the weather what the fuck are you talking about.
Seriously though. What's the deal with the "paleolithic revolution" in Final Crisis? I'm honestly wondering if there was some sort of Homo Erectus uprising in the DCU's past.

It could be a reference to that scene where the First Boy invents crime-fighting.

they hacked Tony Starks entire network
that includes (presumably) his wheather machines as seen in MA
But...how would they know about that in the present?
They have people who've been alive that long in the DCU.
Seriously? They have Homo Erectus walking around in the DCU? I know Vandal Savage is super old but I didn't think he was a whole different species. Color me intrigued.

I think the difference is that they made a logical progression for Stark's network, to breaking it down. (Jarvis would have access to something like that.) Now, it may not be very realistic and logical, but it's internally consistent. The internet working like that is not.

Savage has been called "the last Neanderthal" before. At any rate, Anthro was fighting him in issue 1 after getting the symbol from Metron so there's at least one person on earth who might recognize the symbol and how old it is.

Fuck you I've been a hideous DC fanboy for years and even I can't figure out what's going on here. This story sucks and you know it.
hey i'm just raggin' you a little man, it's cool. but no, i don't think the story sucks. it's definitely not all being laid out in front of us, but that doesn't mean it won't be. honestly, and i'm not trying to be sarcastic here or anything, i don't know why everyone who has these problems with it doesn't just stop buying it for a bit to see how it shapes up. wait for the trade, even.
I'm just frustrated that there is SO MUCH weird being packed in here, all at once. I'd rather they did a longer (maybe weekly? they seem to love that these days) book that explained what was going on a bit more. I'm going to have to buy a million tie-in books to figure it all out and I hate when that happens.
At least for Secret Invasion I can get by with just the main book and the two Avengers titles.
Coming at this from a Marvel fanboy's perspective, I've found it's just pretty good to just roll with the story so far in FC. I've always been of the mind that there is a lot more room to accept just crazy-ass fantastical stuff goes on in DC than Marvel, so I have no problem with what's gone on so far, up to and including issue 3. Anyway, Morrison said before FC #1 even came out that Mary Marvel was going to fuck up WW's shit. So I hardly see that as a surprise. As for Oracle, I am stupified by some of the comments here. Web Goddess is blindsided by an e-mail doing things e-mail shouldn't be able to do (especially to her). Why wouldn't her reaction jump to unplugging her goddamn computer?
But I especially like the comment about SI. Because you're right. It's much easier to just buy the 16 issues of Avengers that tell the backstory. Meanwhile, the only known FC tie-ins I can guess are really important are maybe Resist, Submit and (ahem) Revelations--all of which are maybe 3 issues each, max. Really, there is no question over which company is doing a more thorough job of milking the shit out of event tie-ins this summer/fall. I though DC Universe #0 summed up the backstory pretty well: gods warred, evil won. After that, any further discussion feels academic because the villains are gods. I figure if the Legion of Three Worlds tie-in is premised on it taking the entirety of the LSH to kick Prime's ass, then worrying much on what Renee Montoya is doing and why one of the Checkmate kings cares is something that is setting up for a bigger part in the future--say when they cover the month between Oracle getting mail and the Flashes reaching Bludhaven. Or not. Who knows?
I still like it. And, really, the discussion about Mary Marvel's attire is best left to the tools on scans_daily.
If you're saying Rage of the Red Lanterns isn't important I'll be disappointed

Thank you Crimsondude! I haven't read Final Crisis, but in the scans I've seen it seems pretty blatant that Oracle's referring to unplugging HER OWN COMPUTER. She doesn't seem to be saying "kill the entire Internet!"
She's just trying to get her own computer disconnected before badness occurs.
Are you reading the same page everyone else is reading?

No, I have to agree with him. It is perfectly reasonable to assume she's talking about unplugging her computer and killing the net in the sense of killing HER connection. Not as in hack the internets. All of them.
it makes no sense for her to be talking about her own computer because it's not like Terrific is in the room with her. The only one who could unplug her own computer is herself.
You posted your 'stop' message while I was posting that, so I didn't see it until after the fact. If only there was an omniscient super-secretary in real life.
it is not gravity that makes Mjolnir impossible to pick up. it's Odin's will, and being in space doesn't stop that
Yeah if that is true it doesn't make sense. I don't know too much about Thor, hasn't really ever interested me
I just liked Hulks beating stuff and the part at the beginning with CAN YOU HERO DO THIS? PUNCH OUT THE WATCHER! with the picture of the watcher's face doing the slow-mo ripple effect

If you take out the parts with the Red Hulk and Thor, Hulk #5 wasn't that bad.

Course, that's like 2 pages.
Supposedly you can only pick up Mjolnir if you're "worthy" of it, and if you do you get the power of Thor. At least that's how it always used to work.

So Invincible Iron Man was good but Larroca's art seems to have really taken a dive. His faces were really distracting for me.
The best part was when Tony was teaching Pepper about the magnet and she started to float and then BAM GIANT MARIA HILL FACE, WHY YES I ACTUALLY AM BIG BROTHER WHY DO YOU ASK.

so please let's just drop it because it is only going to get worse
ugh. no. just... no
it is not gravity that makes Mjolnir impossible to pick up. it's Odin's will, and being in space doesn't stop that
well wouldnt it technically be Thor's will now? Since Odin is dead and the Odinpower has been passed on to him?
Not that it makes a difference, and I havent read the issue yet anyway.

At least she has a sense of humor about it.
