(B+) 78% | Good
Notes: Though hardly deep (a shallow sweep), it's certainly extensive, a hero blitz in bite-sized bits, it's never lore-intensive.

The second volume of this Crisis On Infinite Earths companion series contains the modern history of the DC's heroes. Really beautiful art, George Perez was truly at the height of his powers during Crisis and post-Crisis period. All pieces were gorgeously illustrated but I couldn't miss how more detailed the Teen Titans piece was; Perez co=created the best version of this teen team and the love shows on the piece.

Libro dos de dos.

Segunda parte del repaso que Marv Wolfman y George Pérez hicieron sobre el reestructurado universo de superhéroes surgido tras la maxiserie "Crisis on Infinite Earths". Un paseo colorido y elegante que presentó a los personajes de la casa en su entonces nueva línea temporal, sirviendo también como introducción a posibles nuevos lectores.

I can't say this made me excited about the DC universe, although I found some characters interesting and I like how it asks the question of what it means to be a hero. I think someone who has been a longtime fan would enjoy this book more than someone who is just getting into it.
