I'm wondering how many of you are enjoying the Final Crisis tie-ins. On a personal level i still don't see how they fit in all the way. although superman beyond was cool in 3D. But i want to know everybody else's opinion. Oh! and if you are enjoying them which ones are your favorite and would you recommend them.

Well, "Legion Of 3 Worlds" isn't too bad. I've enjoyed it so far. It's mostly a tie-in because it's wrapping off how the Legion was affected by the first Crisis and the Anti-Monitor's shadow creatures will return. I've read the first issue of "Superman Beyond" which definately ties-in. We know it takes place between issues #3 and #6 of the main series. "Rogue's Revenge" takes place before everything goes to hell. "Revelations" starts during issue two and we're seeing how it ties in to date, since it'll set up Spectre. What I've seen of the previews for these two series, they look to be very good. The only one that sticks out is "Last Will & Testament". I'd say at best aside from "Superman Beyond", I'd go with "Revelations". It ties in a lot more closely. The Legion story should only concern you if you have an investment in the Legion characters.

Rogue's Revenge is a grand revisitation to Johns & Kolins' FLASH run.
Revelations has been pretty decent so far. Really liking Phil Tan's art.
Legion of 3 Worlds - it's Johns & Perez, so that can't possibly suck. The development with Supermanboy Prime (namely, the whole Legion of Supe-Villains admission) was very interesting.
Superman Beyond 3-D is your typical Morrison yummyness; plus, personally, it was the least annoying & headachy 3-D comic I've ever read. That alone deserves praise.

Rogues Revenge is a stroke of genius, Im genuinely loving villians ive, in the past, have had no time for.
Revelations is so-so, I havent gotten into it yet.
Superman 3D....No....Just No.

I liked it to, but it took me awhile to figure out what Grant was alking about when he wrote about the Omnimonitor and the Monitor civilization

I've gotten every tie in so far except for Last Will and Testament and have loved most of them. Rogue's revenge is by far the best one. Revelations is pretty good although I got into comics around Identity crisis and Green Lantern Rebirth so I like the Spectre and the new Question. I like Legion although I know nothing of the characters and Superman Beyond just makes little sense to me although i've only done one readthrough. But I would suggest Rogue's revenge to anyone even those not following Final Crisis. The others I would say it's up to the reader although Superman Beyond seems like it will tie directly into Final Crisis so it might be crucial.

Rogue's Revenge has been fantastic.
Legion of Three Worlds...just couldn't get into it.
Superman: Beyond: trippy.
Haven't read Revelations.

Last Will and Testament I have not read, was it like a tie in with the Final Crisis logo on it?
Legion of Three Worlds- Love it, though I have been following the buildup of Johns Legion story since the JLA/JSA crossover. Still I think it's great without reading that.
Rogue's Revenge- Johns again, he can do no wrong.
Revelations- I like it because I like the whole Lillith story and I love the new Question. I would reccomend maybe one of the others over it, but it's still very good.
Requiem- Ties into Final Crisis the most but is not necessary, a very good read nonetheless.
Superman Beyond- Grant Morrison wrote it, confusing at first, but still good.
I mean I found all the tie ins great, all worth buying, and all better than the Secret Invasion tie ins in my opinion.

Revelations: Slow build, still getting used to the 'new' Spectre and Question.
Rogue's Revenge: Brilliant. This is making me want to go out and just pick up as many Flash back issues as I can get my grubby lil' mitts on.
Legion of Three Worlds: Meh. I like it and I love Perez of course, but this reeks of yet another Legion re-boot.
Last Will and Testament: Out of all of them this seemed the most unnecessary.
Superman Beyond: Fun, cosmic story that literally 'leaps' off the page.
Requiem: Great farewell to one of the underrated BACKBONES of the DCU and the heart and soul of the JLA the Martian Manhunter.
Can't wait for next week and the Rage of the Red Lanterns.

It takes place two days after the Anti-Life Equation was unleashed. It's only real purpose was to allow Meltzer to finish a subplot that he had been working on during his JLA run. Had he not done "The Lightning Saga", he would've gotten to it.

I have been enjoying the Rucka/Mrorison/Johns tie-ins a lot, but regret having spent money on the others (Requim and Last Will and Testament).
