(This certainly deserves its own thread, considering it is a company-wide event, instead of continue posting in the old thread)

Does anyone think it can live up to the hype? Most fans are geared up soooo much for this event. Can it really be as good as people expect?

This will live up to the hype. It didn't even start and it already looks good.

Im hoping so! I wouldve kept all the other heroes to a minimum. Im sure theres gonna be a few useless tie-ins now that pretty much all DC is involved.

Pfffttt....that shouldn't be too hard.

I'm sure my 8yo son could write a better story using Howard the Duck, Rocket Raccoon and Wonder Man's ex-sidekick Spider than 'Final Crisis.'

💃

i will buy this, i hope its good

With the sheer number of non GL related black lanterns involved, i doubt anybody can seriously expect it to be a solely GL event.

That said, the GL's will be the focal point, which is fine imo.

and the build up has been nothing short of excellent.
