Breja: No way in hell am I spending this much time listening to Linkara :D And there is no way anyone could convince me it's "one of the worst storylines ever written". I've seen way, waaaay worse. Granted, that's not much of a praise, but still. Final Crisis, pretty much the entire Morrison's run in Batman (and Batman & Robin and Return of Bruce Wayne), Civil War, Brightest Day, Clone Saga...and way more stuff I can't even remember now. Next to all that Cry for Justice is really not that bad. At least it's self contained, relatively short and to the point, with mostly good artwork. Really, it's just a mediocre mini-series and I'm amazed people still feel so strongly about it after all this time. Nothing about it warrants even remembering about it six years later.
I guess our taste in comics is very different. Even if I don't share the praise for Morrison's Batman run, it had at least a meta level and some very good ideas (e.g. I loved the way he brought Bat-Mite back). Same goes for Final Crisis, which was confusing, but had some substance when you wanted to think about it (the only thing I really disliked was that the awful 3-D version of Superman issue). Civil War had a very good idea and was very well written for the most time. And even the clone saga tried at least something new (even if it was too long and contradicted itself in the end).
Cry for Justice was just a piece of shit. It was badly written, made absolutely no sense and sacrified a very good character just to create a shock moment. The only thing that was were the drawings (which probably distracted many readers from the terrible story) even if they were a little too static for my taste.
