Infinite Crisis #1 was an incredible beginning to the series (and one of the best DC single issues in recent memory), but unfortunately it never reached that mark again. The last issue fight scene was pretty cool, but DC really made some mistakes with this mini.

Civil War started well and got better up until the finale, which was by far the weakest issue of the bunch.

The 2 companies had ample opportunity to clean their respective universes up. Marvel has failed now 2x in a row (the joke that was HoM and recently Civil War) and DC failed with Infinite Crisis. I am not reading 52, so I cannot say anything about that at all.
