Tales from the Dark Multiverse:

     

I just... Death of Superman's the story I was mainly interested in and to summarize... Lois Lane gets super powers and proceeds to screw everything up. There's a lot of sexist jokes to be made about this story but we're better than that. Knightfall was okay... but then it's just Evil Batman 3.0. I guess having Bruce go evil was a twist, but seeing Jean-Paul go completely dark was just... I don't think he'd be powerful enough to join a Dark Justice League though.

Blackest Night is kind of meh... or at least it is until Lobo goes ham on Darkseid. Jesus.

Infinite Crisis felt like "gee, I guess a lot of things are falling spectacularly into place to make Ted Kord the world's greatest villain" the whole way through. Felt like a rehash of Batman getting infected by Cyborg's "Alfred AI" and going full ham on the rest of the world. I guess that's kind of the point of these stories.

Everything goes tits-up fast.

Dark Multiverse: Crisis on Infinite Earths. A twisted version of the Flash. That's what I'd go by. Or if you want something more modern, Dark Multiverse Flashpoint for the twisted Flash. It was mentioned before, but I'm starting to get why the Anti-Monitor is so evil. His brothers get to look after vast and expansive universes, while he's stuck with one Crapsack World of a universe and his larger goals don't apply anymore thanks to the Source Wall. No wonder he wants to destroy and absorb the positive multiverse

I'm wondering if, like Darkseid(and the rest of the New Gods), they're going to retcon/more establish the idea of the different versions of the Monitor brothers beings different aspects and avatars of the real thing that we see with the creation and Perpetua. Something like this, where what we see are various cross-sections on the multiverse similar to how a sphere can make varying circle cross-sections on a flat plane

[up][up]Super speed is one of the most broken power sets one can have and often the best counter against a speedster is another speedster.

Wonder what shrinks would write about trauma caused by having died a violent death.

I think the ribbing about replacing batman and his villains focus'd on breaking him is calling himself out too

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Morrison made fun of himself in this issue, too. After all, he also had the JLA fighting big anthropomorphic enemies during his run.

@ Rodimus Prime: What's weird is that Eobard Thawne is the first evil Flash from the Flash's perspective, but Hunter Zolomon is the first one born. Well, the regular Flashes at least

So Judas Contract is going to be the next Dark Multiverse storyline? Hmm...might we be seeing a Dark Side Beast Boy?

[up]Don't forget about Rival. If we're talking Evil Speedster Dopplegangers, he was the first.

RE: Milestone Media lawsuit getting settled: Hope it's in favor of Dwayne's wife and mom.

It really isn't fair that Static isn't around because three of Dwayne's "friends" screwed him and his family over, especially when he's up in the Promised Land.

RE: Grant Morrison busting balls via Green Lantern: Blackstars:

Essentially, he said that the League is going up against crazy-ass bad stuff from beyond whatever is beyond the stars that hinges on negative stuff is getting old, Batman's rogues personally attacking Batman is getting stale, and Heroes in Crisis left a lot to be desired. But I'm not sure what Morrison is getting at with Bendis' Superman run?

Anyone want to elaborate on that one?

But I'm not sure what Morrison is getting at with Bendis' Superman run?
He's more making fun of Bendis's dialogue then his run on Superman. Because Bendis has a certain, uh, way of writing dialogue.

It feels like Morrison whinging about stuff Morrison himself might do, it's just bad because he didn't write it. He's the sort of writer who thinks any idea is a good idea, but only if it came out of his brain.

Yeah, they're pretty much the same person, just sometimes he wears a wig to make you think he's two different people.

It's hilarious to me that of all the Tales of the Dark Multiverse central characters, Sinestro ends up being the most heroic by the end. Poor bastard needs a hug.

Speaking of Morrison, do we have any idea when Multiversity Too is likely to drop? I want those Lovecraftian horrors to stop nomnomming the pre-Flashpoint multiverse. tongue
