Best Crossover of 2008
Jim Doom says: New Krypton!
Thanks to that great New Krypton #1 special, I’ve started buying Superman and Supergirl, whereas I previously only bought Action. My initial plans were to just avoid the crossover and drop Action for a while. Good work, DC!

There’s nothing better than a crossover where you can skip parts of the story and not be confused at all. The only issues of New Krypton I bought were the Special, Superman and Action Comics. The Supergirl issues were very Supergirl-centric, and therefore quite skippable to someone who doesn’t normally read Supergirl. And I didn’t even realize I skipped a part early in the crossover when Part 3 or 4 took place in a Guardian one-shot. It’s nice to be able to read only the issues I want to read and still get a complete story.

While the ending could still end up being rotten, and the new status-quo they’re setting up doesn’t look all that terribly interesting, this crossover has been incredibly fun the past couple months.
When is DC going to learn that they can make an amazing crossover by just giving Geoff Johns a paycheck, a couple extra writers, and free reign over whatever he wants to do? After Sinestro Corps in 2007, New Krypton in 2008, and Blackest Night in 2009, I’m starting to think they’re getting the idea, but why waste time with filler like Final Crisis and Batman RIP when you’ve got this guy working for you? He’s a cut above the rest, clearly.
