Infinity Man and the Forever People #1 review

Was anyone honestly anticipating Infinity Man and the Forever People #1? Was Infinity Man ever a “thing”? And I’m not talking about that hunk of a rock that’s part of the Fantastic Four, but actually a real deal? I don’t understand DC Comics logic sometimes. Infinity Man and the Forever People seems like a shot in the dark, betting everything on red, the luck comparisons could go on forever, or infinitely (see what I did there?).

From my questioning about Infinity Man and the Forever People #1‘s market, I’m sure you already know I didn’t quite care for the book. You would be partially correct in your assumption. It’s not that I didn’t care for the book, I just didn’t see who’s actually gonna read the book and why they would even want to. It’s a decent book, doesn’t blow you away in any retrospects, it just merely exists among all of the other wallpaper patterned DC books. And because I’m being brutally honest at the moment, I still don’t even know who Infinity Man IS in the book, if he’s even in it at all. (spoiler, he is)

One thing is for certain in Infinity Man and the Forever People #1, Keith Giffen and Dan Didio like aggressive gestures. The book pours out theater style poses with a very early 90’s retro art style. It was one of the rare things I actually enjoyed in the book. Wondering who hunkers down into a linebacker stance to yell at the person right in front of them. Seriously though, open the book and tell me that each person isn’t angry and ready to take off in a dead sprint in every page. Go ahead, I’ll wait.
