Man, ridiculous multi reboots like this are why i never got into comics regularly. I know they do some of these to make it easier for new readers to get into things, but for me it has the opposite effect. They can't ever get rid of all the old stuff, because it will alienate old readers, and that makes new/occasional readers like me feel like I NEED to catch up on all the old stuff to understand everything. I'd prefer if they just occasionally released summary volumes of all the important points of a character for new readers to catch up with. Otherwise, I'm sticking to the movies and TV shows that seem less interested in injecting themselves into the decades long continuity of the comics.

Josh Rizzo if you are a company, you cater to the best compromise for all fans. Not the best thing for one snowflake. Sure, DC can alter their comics to something you and your generation will love...then what? What happens when you, or others of your generation get tired of comics? How do they make money? Answer is simple, they don’t. Their wants>Your wants.

DC has actually only had 2 reboots. Crisis and Flashpoint. Every other "reboot" were more retcon events. Similar to how Convergence and Rebirth are ACTUAL reboots, but just reconning new elements into the continuity. Marvel does retcons too, but they kind of "just happen" instead of being explained in an event. The reality there has only been 4 cannon superman's. Golden Age, Silver Age, Post-Crisis, and New 52. The same with Wonder Woman, Batman, and other characters. Events like Zero Hour, Infinite Crisis, Final Crisis, and Convergence still retained the same continuity, they just added elements from older previously "wiped out" continuities. Again Flashpoint is the only other real reboot where the super heroes were placed with different versions.

I think it stands to reason that even the most well-versed and expansive collectors find this series of reboots confusing. To be honest, I don't think I will ever truly follow all of this. I do, however, appreciate al the time it took for you to put this together, Rob. This would be a LOT of work, and likely lead to a series of blank stares and empty drinks afterward.

+ComicsExplained Cool video and it helped a little. Just a suggestion; it'd be great if you could do an in depth breakdown of each reboot both DC and Marvel have gone through over the years would be great. I know I might be asking too much, but now I'm interested in what actually happened in the stories and not just how they affected each multiverse respectively. Thought it'd be a cool idea if your looking for one for your next video series. Just do me a favor and give me a shout-out in the first video if you end up doing that. Other than that keep doing what you're doing I enjoy it along with all your other subscribers.

All these reboots really annoy me, especially Flashpoint and Convergence. I kinda feel like they should've at least given the Final Crisis multiverse a chance, instead of almost instantly diving into Flashpoint. I'm just hoping that this next reboot doesn't mess things up more. Whilst Convergence was weak, the end goal and ideal to have every continuity co-exist may sound like a mess, but at least each person could go back and follow the stories of the continuities they liked, whilst not worrying about the ones they didn't. But, I get the feeling the next reboot will just be another New 52, if you know what I mean.

So let me get this straight, DC destroyed their multiverse after Crisis on Infinite Earths and reformed it into one singular universe, then they literally rebooted that universe in Zero Hour, brought back the multiverse again temporarily in Infinitive Crisis but at the end of that it dissolved back into one universe but then fragmented into 52 parallel universes and created the 52 multiverse? Holy shit that's insane.

Great Video, Rob. It is nice to see a longer video. It definitely reminds me of when you first started. A bet with more refinement. While I fully understood what happened in the video, it made me cognizant of one fact; why Comics are so niche nowadays. I understand why Crisis on Infinite Earths needed to happen, but essentially all these other huge story events/ "crises" boil down to lack of a cohesive continuity amongst DC. To be fair, there will be no such thing as a perfect continuity. Even in the most robust ones, you are bound to encounter problems. I know this being a diehard EU fan of Star Wars(hence, one of the reasons why I was open to the EU going away. Though, I'll admit the decision was handled poorly). Having all these events go down so as to restart with number one's, can be quite confusing to newcomers of comics. Especially, if they are required to have some background information on these events and the writers do not convey this information. I'll always love DC. Especially, for the Marc Wolfman and George Perez run on the Titans and Aquaman. But rebooting yet again after a major event just is going to make it harder, relatively, for newcommers to get into DC comics. It is this reason why I loved the Ultimates, as it gave a cool refreshing take(except Ultimatum. Screw that comic). Overall, great work as always Rob.

I don't know if you skipped because of time constraints, but what of DC's brief flirtation of "Hypertime?" From what I recall, it was basically a multiverse of sorts, but with "alternate timelines." Except that it had the main DC timeline, with other timelines branching out from it and occasionally intersecting with each other. Nothing really came out of it though except a couple story arcs from Superboy (Kon-el/Connor Kent's first series) and Flash. Personally, I found the distinction between parallel universes and alternate timelines to be a false one.

I believe that the 'Rebirth' reboot will be heavily inspired or even based on the DCEU films, perhaps they will give backstory to Batfleck's twenty year history, Wonder Woman's 5,000, Superman after man of steel and BvS and the rest of the heroes. This may be done so the comics can sell more. It's called DC 'Extended' Universe after all, maybe an extension of films, comics, shows, animations and even videogames.

You did good job explaining the subject in the time allotted. But DC still had a few very soft reboots leading up to infinite Crisis and before Final Crisis. With a Rebirth here and a Secret Origins there tweaking some of the rebooted continuity. Not to mention trying to bring the Kingdom Come universe into DC continuity and Hypertime. Still a good peak at the major reboots. You can entire episodes of the three Crises and pick apart and analyze the insanity of Final Crisis and Convergence. Love to see more in the future. Thanks.

What a mess. It still cracks me up that they let green lantern and batman's continuities continue especially since in that window there are crossovers with other DC characters that were 100% rebooted.

People seem to forget that these "so many reboots" took place over 80 years of comic history. That's not that many. Christ. This isn't like rebooting Hulk movies 2.5 times in the course of 10 years.

This is why rather read the Wiki or watch your vids since the TimeLine for me is like wrestling with a puma.

BIG correction: The character that you keep referring to as the Earth 3 Lex Luthor is incorrect. The Earth 3 Lex Luthor was the father to this character, ALEXANDER Luthor. As with the the rest of the Earth 3 universe Lex Luthor and his wife, Lois Lane died (or disappeared) along with that universe's entire existence. Before the destruction of Earth 3, Lex Luthor put his infant son (Alexander) into a space ship and sent him (eventually) to the realm of The Monitor. This story is intentionally a reproduction of the Superman origin.

You should really do a history of Brainiac video. That would be amazing.

Dear ComicsExplained. This video was kind of helpful and gave me a little bit more background. Back can you go a little more indepth with the history? I mean, this was good but I didn't get most of you points you were trying to make. I don't fully understand what Multiverse really is. But what I'm most confused about is all these reboots and where to start on reading comics. I'm new to comics, and all of this history is kind of confusing. I mean, can you give me some suggestions as to were to start so I can receive more background information? I'm new to comics as I said, and I don't know where to start. So when I see like a cool Series I want to read and it says like Earth One or like New 52 I'm soo confused. Please give me some suggestions.

I really do thank you for explaining the WHOLE DC Continuity, quite the remarkable thing given that sometimes not even the most hardcore or they`re own writers can`t do it as well .... having said that ... even if DC has great heroes (batman of course, but not limited to him), I prefer MARVEL because even when dealing with multiverse situation the stories are much more cohesive, proof is that .... They`ve only needed 1 REBOOT

I'm just kinda curious what happened at the end of Convergence? I didn't read the main event, cuss each time i picked up an issue, it just a lot of fight scenes with brightly colored costumed people i don't know punching eachother, and when I DID see someone I know it's like "Flashpoint Batman and Parallax Hal, what?" I only picked up tie in issues to characters I cared about, and I got the basic gist. Specific DC universe publication timelines are put in a dome, and some guy who looks like brainiac or maybe he is brainiac puts random characters from ANOTHER dc universe and they fight and ... something happens, I dunno. Anyway, I'm just curious what happened in the end? I know of the Lois & Clark comic that came out afterwards, I assume that's a result of convergence? Just curious, did anything like ... happen, in the end game of that event?

Do you have anything explaining Blackest Night and Brightest day? Are they post new 52? I've been trying to get into DC's heroes but they are far too complex, Now I see why.

Great video Rob... but seriously.. Why the hell is the DCU so confusing and convoluted? Reminds me of Kingdom Hearts.... Hmn.. Maybe a Rob Explains Kingdom Hearts storyline... Can't we just get so simple like Superman punch a hole in fabric of time and space... everything and every dimension goes into it and we have a new dimension mixed in. Boom... Done... simplified without tons of crap to add to the storyline. [Puts up Flame Shield] By the way Rob, did you finished the Convergence videos? Have to check on them...

This is so confusing... So, the order would be like this, then? Crisis on Infinite Earths, then Zero Hour, then Infinite Crisis, then Final Crisis, then Flashpoint, and then Convergence. Is that how it goes? Am I missing a series? I'm interested in reading them (already finished CoIE), but it seems convoluted enough to almost not being even worth the time...

It almost seems like everthing in DC Universe .Has it going back to Crisis on Infinite Earths .And that was back in 1985..So the one moment in DC Universe has a ripple effect all the way to current events in the DC Universe .
