![]() I've no doubt that one day we'll learn that the Earths are infinite once again.Īs a fan of the various DC Who's Who series (currently being discussed on the endlessly entertaining Who's Who: The Definitive Podcast of the DC Universe show), and the many encyclopaedias released down the years, I love handbook pages, and the ones sandwiched between the framing sequences here don't disappoint. Or at least, what the 52 - that's Earths 0-51 - we're being told about are. Currently, we're in a rebuilding phase, with Morrison using his grand adventure to classify and clarify what the 52 worlds of DC's post-2011 Multiverse are. 'There's just too much continuity, wipe the slate clean-ish'Īnd every time, after a few years, they - or a new set of hands - realise what has been lost: the JSA returns the Multiverse is found to persist the old continuities survive in these worlds. 'Parallel worlds are too tough to understand, merge them!' 'The JSA members are too old, the kids won't relate, kill/banish them!' Several times over the years we've seen editorial regimes decide their comics cloth is too large, perhaps unwieldy, and hack it back. □The very notion of 'the local multiverse'.Īnd, as the phrase goes, much, much more - writer Grant Morrison is a perpetual motion ideas machine, inventing new concepts, revamping earlier ones, unravelling and expanding the tapestry of the DC Multiverse. ![]() □Dr Will Tornado and his Metal League of Earth 44. ![]()
