Multiversity

Also Bart is in the new 52 but only as Kid Flash which is more than what Wally has right now. Also I wouldn't mind Bart being the Flash of Earth One anything but Jay and Barry.

I hope they'll be Batman and Superman in the pulp world, green arrow and green lantern in Shazam world.

I'm curious if Chris Kent of Earth 11 will be Clark's biological son.

"I hope they'll be Batman and Superman in the pulp world, green arrow and green lantern in Shazam world."

Huh?

Originally there was going to be a Batman in the pulp world.

There was also a hal jordan in the shazam world.

Oh I see what you mean.

Constantine is the Superman of the Pulp World; by way of being a fusion of Dr Fate with Doc Savage ;one of the inspirations of Superman .

Multiversity is finally coming out in August this year.

We Ocho now

I'll believe it when it's in my hands.

Well, there are now solicits for Multiversity, so...I guess it's a done deal.

Its so fucking teal.

Guys I think its happeneing.

THE HYPERCRISIS IS REAL!

So...

The map is awesome

Higher res than all the other images I've seen online. If it doesn't look like it can zoom in, try clicking it, this link doesn't do that magnifying glass thing.

Still can't make out most of "Hell," except bits about the Triumvirate and Neron.

It looks pretty Gygax'd up. Dream is order, Nightmare is Chaos, Apokalips is the Pit, and New Genesis the Pinnacle. I do not think the Pinnacle and the Pit relate to Good and Evil. I think it has more to do with personal efficacy and freedom.

Notice the destroyer looks like a uterus. It's the largest Bleed ship. The Bleed is the red stuff the Earths are suspended in in the Orrery of Worlds. It's technically called the Ultramenstruum. Because comics are monthly.

The carrier is that carrier.

All the Gods are still born from Dream, Dream is on top and on bottom.

The Bleed drill focused through Heaven connects to Earth 30.

The Bleed drill focused through New Genesis connects to Earth 51, which is where Kamandi, OMAC, the Great Disaster, and the Atomic Knights take place.

The Bleed drill focused through the Underworld connects to Earth 31, which is where Year One, ASBAR, DKR, and DKSA take place.

The Bleed drill focused through Apokalips connects to Earth 6.

The Bleed drills focused through Hell and Skyland connect to unknown Earths which will probably be covered in the maxiseries.

YHWH/G-d/Adonai/whatever's situation is still rather complicated. The Presence is now though to be the Overvoid by the hyper-scientists on /co/, God only being the person who shows up at the end of Lucifer, and no one else.

There are still only four Bleed Drills, the ones at Earths 6 and 52 are just powerlines.

And if you look at the chart, the bleed drills terminate at four unknown worlds.

Also Hyper-scientists, I like that.

Anyone checking out any good annotations?

Also there are caps and scans of Hell that you can read on the net.

I looked closer, the Bleed drills from Skyland and Hell end at [[Rule63 Earth 11]] and Earth 43 respectively, and the ones from Heaven and Underworld end at unknown Earth, the power lines end at the places I said previous.

Where is a transcript of what's under "Hell?"

The Multiversity #1 SPOILERS

• Nix Uotan is reading a supposedly haunted/cursed DC event comic called Multiversity as part of their Ultra Comics line. Talking to someone called Mr Stubbs, he says he's going to vivisect the comic to see what's up. Meanwhile a voice talks directly to you, the reader, warning you of what's to come. Nix transforms into his Monitor outfit (from Final Crisis) while Mr Stubbs (a pirate version of Detective Chimp) appears and they prepare to board the Ultima Thule to go to Earth-7 and find out where the idea for the comic came from. They arrive on Earth-7 while more messages to the reader say "We need your help".

• Earth 7 is wrecked. It's so far out of tune with the rest of the Multiverse that the laws of physics have stopped. They come across Thunderer, beaten and scarred. However Thunderer didn't send the SOS in the comic (I think, this gets a little unclear because it seems like the meta-messages are both to the reader of the comic Nix read and also to the reader of Multiversity #1 itself), but a group of multiversal parasites called the Gentry did.

• Nix tries to be authoritative and take control of the situation but the Gentry remark that they want him to give up his dreams and abandon all hope and become like them. Thunderer tells Nix to flee and warn the Multiverse of the Gentry, and while Stubbs realizes that the Gentry have somehow closed off Earth-7, the Gentry agree to let Thunderer leave in the Thule if Nix and Stubbs remain. Nix tells Thunderer to go the Orrery of Worlds, the Multiversity, and call the greatest heroes of 52 earths to help.

• When Thunderer leaves, Nix realizes that his powers as the Monitor are seemingly useless against the Gentry, who use the Anti Death Equation to essentially torture souls and then restore them, only to break them down all over again. Nix then seems to sit up in his bed, horrified at what he's reading (with the Mother Box/Rubix Cube from Final Crisis on his bedside table).

• On Earth-23, President Superman saves lives and then goes to the Watchtower to meet with the Justice League of Earth-23 to analyze the robotic carcass of a villain he just defeated. With no-one knowing what it is, they plan to use Luthor's Transmatter Symphonic Array (gateway to the Multiverse). The array activates by itself and President Superman is whisked away to the Multiversity. He's greeted by Captain Carrot who introduces him to everyone else (this feels like a deliberate homage to Co IE #1) and Thunderer tells them that he brought them there to help combat the Gentry.

• Using his Braniac-belt, Pres Supes activates the Multiversity's AI, which is Harbinger. She seems surprised at how long she's been out of action (she talks of a threat to all the Monitors, and is then surprised that the Monitors are dead so it's certainly pre Final Crisis) and then says she will help them against the Gentry, to save Nix Uotan...Red Racer (Earth 36) introduces himself as a comic book geek who reads about Pres Supes in Action Comics and they realize that one world's fiction is another's reality.

• They all board the Ultima Thule and sail into the Bleed before being attacked by something and crash landing on Earth 8. Not Dr Doom wields the Lightning Axe of Wunjadin, the Genesis Egg and the Omni Gauntlets, and calls himself Lord Havok. They then meet the Retaliators (the Avengers) and while Dr David Dibble transforms into Behemoth and attacks Captain Carrot, Carrot suckerpunches him ("Who wants to argue with cartoon physics!). The FF try to stop Havok as the Genesis Egg hatches to reveal a tortured and insane Nix Uotan and Mr Stubbs (Nix looking like a soon-to-be Mandrakk) who has been tortured for eternity and is going to take it out on them. The Meta voice tells the reader "What have you done? Pray it's not too late! They're in your head! Do as you're told!PUT THIS BOOK DOWN NOW". The end.

I love it.

The Multiversity place is the monitor satellite from Co IE.

Earth 7 is a pastiche of Ultimate Marvel. From the official map: "Therefore, it should be seen as nothing less than tragic that Earth-7 was the first to fall to the Gentry. Billions of people and hundreds of super heroes perished, the world surviving as a mere shell of what it once was. Where there was intelligence and vibrancy, now only madness and death remains." Guess Ultimatum really did a number on it.

Intellectron represents DC Comics: myopic and focusing only on Batman. Lord Broken is Marvel Comics: the House of Ideas, but mining Lee's and Kirby's ideas so long that the house is growing more unstable and about to fall. Hellmachine is Dark Horse and Image, because they make all their money from Hellboy and dark and gritty bullshit, respectively. Dame Merciless is all women in comics: subservient, twisted, and barely covered. Demogorgunn is the ten thousand slice-of-life indies and Fort Thunder rip-offs.

Wow, I never would have seen those comparisons, but now that it's been pointed out to me, I definitely see where it's coming from.

Canonsorf, this is gonna be an 8 month Woodstock of annotations.

Mind are already at 1000 words.

I'm on page two.

You should do sole yourself. Its nice to not be the only Hypercrisis Bro here.

So this is definitely a sequel to Final Crisis. Interesting.

Loved the Marvel parody. I was waiting for DC to do something like this with one of their multiverses.

They already did. As far back as the early 70's, DC's had it's own Captain Ertaz world, home to an abundant gaggle of knock-off's of Marvel characters. That is, until a Doctor Doom expy, Doc Ock expy, Magneto expy, Sabretooth expy, and Dormmanu expy nuked the place. The Extremists (the group that these particular expy's were part of,) showed up in the Giffin JLI era. And they were awesome.

Why am I all of the sudden taking notice of and having a hard time believing that the person who's in this thread claiming not to be Grant Morrison is not, in fact, Grant Morrison?
