@@alijahfaust It happened last year with both a DC title and a Marvel title. In Thor 2020 #2 the issue starts with another universe being consumed by the Black Winter. On page 4 it clearly shows the Justice League but doesn't show them up close and only names them "A sun god, A god of emerald light, a god of dark, perhaps,a god of the ocean, of speed, of strength". As for DC, in Doomsday Clock issue #12, Doctor Manhattan is reviving old universes and on page 34 he says, "On July 10th, 2030, the Secret Crisis begins, throwing Superman into a brawl acrsosss the universe with Thor himself...and a Green Behemoth stronger than even Doomsday" Clearly referencing Thor and Hulk.

Nah, Secret Wars was mildly entertaining until Hickman realized the rest of Marvel was not along with changing everything forever and had little time before finishing the series so the ending was a let down but in his defense 2015 Marvel was a trash show. Bendis was 3 maybe 4 events behind schedule, his X-men series was still dealing with the events of Original Sin when everyone else was writing stories set during Time Runs Out or pre-battleworld. You had series set during the start of Secret Wars "Last Days of..." when Secret Wars was on issue 5 out 9. By the time SW#9 was out you had other series set during 8 Months later revealing nothing in SW mattered at all. In contrast DKDM lasted forever and quite frankly it was not worth the time or money. Reminds me of Maximum Carnage, a tiresome event that should had ended in four Issues because the writing was sub par but was extended to the point no one cared. Starting Future State which is yet another Goddamn reboot from this event is just some old BS.

No, the WW we knew is the Death Metal Wonder Woman There is no Wonder Woman on Earth 0 anymore. (The previous center of the Multiverse) She choose to be with the hands so she could help them write down the Omniverse properly, and then, at some point, she will return to her earth.

This whole event has been a meta commentary on DC’s future in the comic industry. The Batman Who Laughs representing The Who say screw continuity in favor of the story, while Wonder Woman is the old guard trying to continue on with a consistent continuity but knows one day they’ll run out of options and that their characters, writers and stories will eventually become overused and stale, and a new generation will take their place one day. However, at the end of the day, if the comic industry is kind of dying as whole because people just aren’t buying comics enough for publishers to keep their doors open, the medium will die just like others before, in a way, being wiped out by humans hands that created and supported their stories to begin with.

[@leovanilla6833]

I think a good middle ground would be to continue forward from here in REAL TIME. So Bruce and Clark are about...40ish? Write stories for them but continue to age them as our real time goes on. So when ten years pass, they are 50ish. This way they can be a mainstay, but by the time they die of old age, we will have been introduced to many new characters that we will eventually be fine with taling over mantles instead of just Future Stating everything.

[@sespider]

Yep. Was just about to point that out. Pretty obvious for anyone paying attention. "The Elseworld" text box is blue with a red X in the background. And Marvel is best known for the X-Men. Who's logo is literally a red X with a blue background. Plus; in Marvel's last big event, we see a red and blue blur (Superman) and a black blur (Batman's jet) in a couple panels. That said, Marvel's multiverses have yet to join as DC's has. And thus there in only one Marvel gateway (aka 616) in DC's now single universe. Likewise, for Marvel, there is but one DC gateway. But at this time, we do not know what that gateway looks like. The biggest (and coolest) thing to take away from all of this is that every DC universe bubble can now access this single Marvel gateway. Resulting in endless crossover possibilities.

Hey Rob, bit of a physicist here to shed more light on the whole "universe ending in a big crunch" idea. The theory is known as the "Big Crunch" (seriously!) and posits that if the amount of matter in the universe is greater than the power of dark energy (the universe's expansion), then eventually expansion will slow down as gravity overtakes it. This is the theory DC tends to prefer as it can be used to propose a "cyclic universe", known as the "Big Bounce", where another universe is created from the crunch of the previous one. The next theory is the "Heat Death", which posits that if dark energy is bounded, then eventually, every star will fizzle out, every black hole will fade away, and (if protons decay), every atom will eventually decay away. Basically, infinite darkness. Ansem would be proud. The last theory is the "Big Rip", which posits that if dark energy is unbounded, then the universe will continue to expand faster and faster until individual galaxies, star systems, stars, planets, and even atoms will be torn apart by dark energy. The timescales involved here are... incredible.

Elseworlds is a DC imprint. What they're not telling you is that the other center, Elseworld's opposite, is called What If... :)

[@spencersss1251]

The great thing about this is the possibilities it opens . First like you said alternate versions interacting and potential stories. The fact that they stated they’ll get glimpses of potential future as and past as things stabilize means they can write stories and see what works some stuff just be a alternate universe and others the set future and past of this main universe characters. They can also introduce characters from other universes too.

How long before they figure out this is just a huge mess and an excuse for not being able to keep up continuity? This seriously sounds like a car crash in slow motion

How so? DC is basically going back and fixing the mess that they created with the original Crisis event while incorporating everything that existed after that failed attempt to fix things.

My theory is that he exists. However the power-scaling will vary between universes if he does, in “His” universe he is the literal god and the true meaning of prime one million, but compared to the main universe Superman or Superboy-Prime he will not be stronger than them.

[@louisdellalucca8969]

I sound like a broken record at this point, but I STILL thinks its a wasted potential, not using Clark from the Watchmen Universe. I can see it now. He just holds out his hand and says "You have broken countless universes... YOU WILL NOT BREAK MINE!!!!"

[@SuperShanko]

Plus side, it’s good that they let the OG DC crew get this win. It would’ve been shitty to let Watchmen’ish stuff be the ones to take the Ein.

[@louisdellalucca8969]

@@SuperShanko thats true. Plus Batman with the Black Lantetn Ring was badass. Maybe they're holding onto "Clark" for another story.

[@robfalgiano]

Yeah bringing in Manhattan Clark at the end would have felt way too convenient.

[@robfalgiano]

When you think of how difficult it was to make this story conclude in a satisfying way, this is a strong finish. I wish there was a way they could retain the Death Metal character designs for WW, Superman and Batman or give them their own world to play on, though I guess that would defeat the purpose now that they’ve completed their mission. The arc of TBWL was completely unpredictable. I love that he god as far as he got. Taking over like a boss but taking it right to the edge before defeat.

Crisis Energy & Anti-Crisis Energy sound like a way to discuss writers or publisher mandates that come into comics & ignore continuity for sake of making usually ridiculous to happen. Where the other represents writers who come into a story & weave a tale that draws from the continuity etc to tell an epic. Respecting the past while forging its own path & all that.
