Updating "interactive" map. http://www.dccomics.com/blog/2014/08/18/the-map-of-the-multiverse Really, they just link to a piece of art and bio for each (3 so far) Earth. I assumed Earth 8 had something to do with 70's-90's DC with the bullet logo type stars around the '8', but I guess not. e: Oops. Didn't click the full bio. I guess that's a Cap America type shield around the 8. quote:

I didn't think it was as good as FC:Superman Beyond (as a similar thing.) Would have wanted it a bit longer for what it packed in. BTW, Action Comics #9 is confirmed as required reading. It's a buck on Comixology in the Multiversity sale, as well as the aforementioned Superman Beyond. Definitely read it first. https://www.comixology.com/Multiversity-Sale/page/3152/?tid=B140819002_DC_Multiversity_Sale

I think his strongest message is "Comic fans are gay." e: Feeling the chill of probation, facetious comment refers to digital page 26 in the comic. Barry Convex posted:So are there two Nix Uotans or what? Who drops the comic midway through? This time Nix isn't really Shazaming out of a real world boy, but is his imagined representation diving in while he's exploring and analyzing comics, maybe?

Superman Beyond could be okay if you just know that it starts after Lois had been critically injured in the Daily Planet blowing up. I cant remember if it has a totally satisfying ending if you don't follow Superman back into the end of Final Crisis. Might as well read the series. You would be missing Nix and President Superman's small appearance, at least. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 07:46 on Aug 21, 2014 |

Bown posted:Gonna read Morrison's Action Comics run now. Not read any of it except for maybe the first issue. How good/Morrison-y is it? It starts off very grounded but about half way through goes totally bugnuts as the story gets concerned with 5th dimensional imps. I loved it. It's full of as much heart as it is craziness.

Read Action Comics #9 at least. It'll introduce you to one of the main characters in #1. https://www.comixology.com/Action-Comics-2011-9/digital-comic/24203 You don't need to go deep on it, but there's a ton there and it builds on a lot of his past DC event concepts. I'd recommend just jumping in and then reading an annotation page http://comicsalliance.com/multiversity-dc-comics-grant-morrison-annotations-part-1/ and see where it takes you.

It was fun. Especially since I've just finished reading the Justice Society Returns issues at the start of the JSA omnibus. It felt a lot like those. Kinda bummed that that wasn't really a GL Etrigan like I was guessing from teaser images.

It's spun out of Superman Doomed and Fututres End. Not related to Multiversity except for involving stuff like Red Son characters, which are on Grant's map. Expect contradictions to the Multiversity guidebook if anything. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 01:14 on Nov 12, 2014 |

Senor Candle posted:What? I didn't think it was spinning out of anything. Just two months of filler so people can move. Yeah. That's why it's happening but it's had a little set up. Superman Doomed ended with Spoiler... Braniac sucking out the brain energy of everybody on the planet and Superman whacking him into a black hole where on the last page he ended up here  and a future big monster Braniac is talking about collecting multiple versions of people in Futures End.

Read Thunderworld. I love how he went from maybe his most complex comic to maybe his most simple. The guidebook is advertised as the next thing in the back, but I feel like I might want to read it last.

I thought the Johns/Frank Shazam trade was great. You're painting a dire picture of horror kids when it's really pretty fun and innocent.   The book's worth it for the facial expressions.

There's no harm in picking Multiversity up without being a well read Morrison devotee, but if you've been enjoying it, you should get a huge kick out of Superman Beyond and Action Comics #9.

The Wildstorm Universe wouldn't exist cause it was explicitly smooshed in to make the New 52 at the end of Flashpoint, right? e: I mean, they could have ditched anything anyhow (except the established Earths Morrison wanted to use while planning way before the reboot) so who really cares, but that one was shown merging.

Morrison loving LOVES DC, dude. If he was mad about them futzing with continuity (the third time they've done so while he's worked for them,) he wouldn't have constructed a new Superman origin for them right after FC. I'm sure that aspect is a big part of the fascination for him. He had an arc in Animal Man dedicated to the continuity ghosts created by Crisis on Infinite Earths. e: and of course the depiction of DC history through Crisises in the guidebook. Hands of the creators and all that. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 23:46 on Feb 7, 2015 |

It's within the 60 years later 2016 section without any other time marker, but the Freedom Fighters unveiling scene has to be a flashback, right? Them being survivors of purges from the 50's and 60's doesn't go with the year, making me think that's the start/first incarnation of the group. Is that Phantom Lady there and in the opera house? If it is, she's had a costume change from the earlier scene. I guess Uncle Sam is usually immortal or swapping bodies of old patriots, so his age might not factor, though he is just a hologram elsewhere.
