Some thoughts about Heroes in Crisis #6

Who is the culprit?

Heroes have been looking for peace in Sanctuary and the only thing they will find is death and nobody still realizes who the murderer is.

Feels like we're going in circles now.

Tom King brings another chapter where we see the perspectives of more characters but to be honest, is nothing particularly new and worst of all, I don't think they progress the plot so much. There's a segment focusing on Gnarrk (You know, Gnarrk, the often forgotten Caveman Teen Titan who for some reason was brought back to make the classic Titans return) which is devoted to how the savage life has affected him and it's quite frankly worthless because I don't think anybody really cares about him, not to mention that King (as expected) makes his dialogue incredibly irritating to the point that it makes me even miss his other unremarkable stories.

Harley Quinn also gets the spotlight which is centered around his abusive relationship with the Joker and her new, healthier relationship with Ivy.  I think this works a bit better since they are a few accurate moments of characterization but again, is nothing particularly new that hasn't been explored in her own book (and in a more entertaining way).

Finally, Wally also gets his own segment which is devoted to how much he misses his family and is getting tiresome. Yes, the fact that Linda and the kids were gone was part of his characterization post-Rebirth but it wasn't all of his character. Is cool that King wants to make this plot-point an actual issue but the problem is that it gets repetitive and annoying really quickly after so many issues focusing on it.

And what's that thing I said about the plot not progressing? Yeah, none of these sections really move the story when you think about it since they all take place before the murders and thus the investigation is not any clearer. I mean, I guess they're kinda hinting that Booster Gold might be the culprit towards the end but based on how things have been going so far, I'm pretty sure that's just misdirection.

Clay Mann and Mitch Gerads share the pencils and their work is really good thanks to their detailed expressions and storytelling.

Aside from that, nothing really happened. Perfectly skippable.
