![]() Rating: - UnmaskedNew York Times best-selling author Brad Meltzer takes a crack at the comic book spectrum with penciller Rags Morales, and the result is a life-changing event centered mostly on the minor players of the DC universe. When Elongated Man's wife is murdered, the other heroes suspect a plot to kill their families. As the entire crimefighting community scours the country for answers, five familiar heroes stay behind to guard a secret that not only brings their loyalties into question, but blurs the line ...

I don't think I'll ever be able to go back and enjoy any Ralph/Sue Dibny story the way I would have if I did not read IDENTITY CRISIS. What was the author's motivation for a work that left many fans feeling violated as they helplessly watched one of the most benign/likeable characters in the DC universe being subjected to one violent atrocity after another?
