If I understand it right the New52niverse is called Earth-Prime.

Which, pre-Flashpoint, was the name given to... us. We were Earth-Prime, the original world. Or at least, it was a world meant to be the most like us.

But in the current DC multiverse the series that we all read all take place on Earth-Prime.

There is also a chance I'm an idiot and wrong, but this is how they designated them last I remember.

Earth Prime wasn't us. It was supposed to be us if Superboy appeared here. Turns out he was a whiny rear end in a top hat.

Earth-3: The home of the villains in the current Forever Evil event. Because.

It's not a "because" situation. N52 Earth-1 is presumably the Earth most books take place on. Earth-2 is the one Earth 2 takes place on. Earth-3 is something of a traditional name for the Earth where everyone is evil, so they went with it for Forever Evil.

Good job DC. People ask you to put colorists on the cover so you just remove everyone from the solicits.

$10 says they don't actually have creative teams yet and they're just going to pull names from a hat to put together the DC Editorial Vision.

Where on Earth did you hear good things about Countdown?

I think Hannibal Tabu liked it, but Hannibal Tabu has terrible taste.

Anyway, Countdown was awful except for a few unintentionally funny bits. Final Crisis is good but intentionally disjointed and the original TPB left out some pretty important parts of the story.

I remember hearing some good things about the initial Deathstroke nu-52 series, as it was written as big mindless action book.

I think Gavok liked it, but Gavok likes everything.

That sounds incredibly depressing considering the huge stable of characters they have to work with.

Also because it's a MOBA. At least having Russians screaming epithets at you seems more appropriate for something DC-based.

They're only good if you play them enough to get to the point where you can yell at people for not knowing how to play.

No, see, it's how you keep from getting stale. Replace an industry legend with a total unknown and a distinctive artist with the guy your house style is based on. That's just Innovation 101, right there.

I think Azarello has said that leaving the book was his choice. Three years is a good run. Chiang might not have had a choice, though.

To be fair on that:

The map here shows that Kory's on Florida (Malibu, specifically)

And here the guy asks for his execution to be outside.

So I think is clear they moved to other place and the distance between those two points allowed for Roy and Jason to catch up with them.

The guy DID lived on Malibu

This makes it funnier because Malibu is in California.

Know what is weird about the original Jason Todd thing? At the moment when he's punched back into life, it shows his grave disappearing, but his coffin is still there. Does Batman just bury a bunch of coffins just in case?

That feels really weird for such a versatile guy to get locked down. Especially these days when it seems like more and more big writers are working anywhere.
If true, I hope it gives him a position of power and he gets away from being just an Inhuman/Thunderbolts type fixer over there. Would that stop him doing Letter 44 at Oni?

e: Here's his blog post about it: http://charlessoule.wordpress.com/2014/09/02/why-i-did-it-on-signing-with-marvel/

"Exclusivity" just means "you can't work for DC/Marvel while working for Marvel/DC." These agreements have never stopped anyone from doing creator-owned work published by other companies. Letter 44 shouldn't be affected at all.

What are the earths showed on the picture?

I can recognize 90's DC, Tangent, Flashpoint, the Legion, the JSA and the old Crime Syndicate.

Curious about it but not really that interested on it.

Top: 90s grim n gritty, Pre-Crisis Earth 2, Earth-3, Charleston
Middle: Flashpoint, ?, ?, Wildstorm
Bottom: ?, ?, Tangent

It's cool that I get two months of not buying DC comics. Granted, the two I'm reading (Batgirl, Gotham Academy; RIP Wonder Woman) will probably get canceled before this anyway.
