Hey there book lovers! It is your old pal, Ninetoes. coming at you with a review of DC Comics’s Heroes in Crisis. I have coffee in my system, and my thinking cap on, so let’s do this!
A few years ago, I posted an article on the joys of reading graphic novels. Some may disregard this reading format because they feel it is “Just a comic book”, but as I stated, there is some excellent and powerful reading in a graphic novel. Heroes in Crisis proves this point.
Here is something to think about. How does a hero, let’s say Superman, handle the after-effects of being a hero. It is not necessarily a job that does not come with some baggage. He saves the world, and sometimes by the skin of his teeth, he faces villains who know his weaknesses and use them against him at every turn. Who can he turn to just to unpack what he had gone through, he cannot just turn to anybody and say he is suffering from PTSD from his last adventure.
This is where Sanctuary comes in. It is a treatment hospital for superheroes constructed by Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. Here, cutting-edge artificial intelligence helps the heroes deal with their trauma and return to the never-ending battle of saving the world. The problem is Sanctuary has been violated, murder has come to this safe haven, and the suspects are clown princess Harley Quinn and time traveler Booster Gold. But the real killer is still out there and the secrets and lives of the heroes are in jeopardy.
Now, in total transparency, I worked as a psychiatric technician in mental health services. That being said, this book hit me right in that sweet spot. Some of my more nerdy co-workers and I would often joke “Could you see Batman here looking for help?” Well, Tom King brought that idea to light (no, we never met), and he did so in spectacular fashion. The art by Clay Mann added the necessary punch to drive the idea home. Each page had me enthralled and drove me further into the book.
I loved the story, I loved the art, I loved the concept. This is one not to be missed!
I give Heroes in Crisis 5 out of 5 bookmarks!

PTSD AWARENESS
PTSD IS NO JOKE!!!!! For a comic to focus super heavy into ptsd , they knew what they was doing. And the way it ends was a mind blown moment. Literally the last person you expect to do this to everyone is the one. Or is it ?!?????!!!!???? Jk find out yourself.
