The new Science Fiction Book Club catalog came today.<\/p>\n
I was flipping through the Altiverse flyer–Altiverse is the comics and media SF flyer–and what I noticed on the cover of the flyer was Superman holding the broken body of Supergirl, one of the seminal images from DC Comics’ 1985 crossover, Crisis on Infinite Earths<\/i>. My first thought, the SFBC is again offering the trade paperback collection of Crisis<\/i>.<\/p>\n
I open the flyer. No, it’s not the comic. It’s a novelization of the comic.<\/p>\n
No offense to anyone involved, but twenty years on who was screaming for a novelization of Crisis on Infinite Earths<\/i>?<\/p>\n
Kingdom Come<\/i>‘s novelization a year later I could understand. But Crisis<\/i>?<\/p>\n
I’m going to have to think on this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
