DO IT SLAVE...

Seriously though best comic this year...easily

I will defeat all bad comic book events with the power of CRITICISM!

I did like when Ultra decided to switch from thought balloons to first person narrative captions.

Well that happened.

All in all, I'd dare say this whole thing has probably been the most meta comic I've ever read, and that Grant Morrison is most definitely a crazy person in the best way possible.

little batman hanging himself depresses me :(

(seriously look at the earth 17 image during that spread of alternate earths action poor wee guys in the background)

So I haven't read this yet, but I'm definitely interested. Is it true that the villain is the Anthropomorphic Personification of fans losing interest in comics? That's just classic Morrison right there. We already had Mandrakk as the personification of Executive Meddling-mandated Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy, so now it seems he's going after the other side of the coin.

By the way, in case you didn't know there's going to be a sequel next year. Also by Morrison, of course.

I'm not sure the villain is 'fans losing interest in comics', but it's definitely in the same ballpark and you're not that far removed from whatever it is the villain represents.

I'd probably have to read the whole thing again to recall exactly what's going on, because man is it is a doozy. There's definitely a heavy meta mind screw element going on over the course of the entire thing. Not the kind of thing you easily wrap your head around.

First I've heard of it, but I certainly hope it's as good as the first round.

Maybe there'll be a meta contextual plot about reoccurring 'big' events that happen every year anymore and how they seem to keep declining in quality.

This was the big villain revealed at the end. It's never stated what, exactly, he's the representation of, but if I had to guess, he's the personification of big crossover events, which makes sense because he states that his minions are already consuming the first Multiverse, with this being "Multiverse-2."

Thats how i saw it with the gentry being the personification of the comic companies being enslaved to the big crossover

I see his name is "Empty Hand." A possible condemnation of writers running out of ideas and just falling back on big dumb events?

There's also the Giant Hand at the Beginning of the Multiverse.◊
