Earth-27: a world where Linkara reboots his show once a year to reflect DC. Earth-89: a world where Linkara's favourite company is Image and he has a burning hatred for everything DC. Earth-7: a world where Linkara exclusively reviews comic book movies and shows. Earth-260: a world where Linkara is a badger who reviews late night talk shows. Earth-666: a world where Linkara is a backwards speaking demon who reviews manga and rarely reviews American comics. Earth-40: a world where Linkara loves Frank Miller and blindly defends him. Earth-1000: a desolate planet ravaged by war, disease, and famine in which Linkara reviews rocks that he finds on the ground. Earth-2: a world where Linkara reviews department store lamps for a living.

Linkara-AtopTheFourthWall Earth-50: linkara is an actual magic gun-wielding hero that is the universe’s first champion (there’s 5 other champions in that earth) who was born in what we’d call DC’s Bronze Age. Earth-51: same thing, but he‘s a justice society hero from the golden age (he then has a son who’s a part of infinity incorporated). Earth-52: same thing, but he’s a dark age “hero” with a muscle, gun and pouch fetish (AKA: rob liefeld). -A Dr Manhattan ripoff/pastiche then rebooted earth 52 (which is named Earth-new 52) which has linkara as a dumb Emo teen (like new 52 lobo) with a collar fetish (AKA: Jim lee whenever he makes costumes). Earth-53: same thing but he’s made as a champion in the silver age with a legitimately Hilarious female harlequin sidekick coloured in rainbows from the 5th dimension that he shoots out of his fingers. (because silver age).

wasnt there an episode where there was an anti-linkara or something like that, like Linkrara dressed as a pirate with a goatee? Maybe that evil Linkara loves our Frank Miller but hates his universe's because, there, Frank is know for his ponderate political opinions, respectful portrail of women and for presenting every super hero equally, never making any of them to be he best, especially Batman. xD

@@calsh14 they originally had planned to do something with him but thanks to the fact that one of the showrunner Andrew kerisburg was accused of (and probably did do) many sexual misdemeanours to both men and women that many stars also complained about , so they decided to scrap his ideas and start fresh with their own. I think Crisis on infinite earths is really good not great like Crisis on earth X , Elseworlds or Invasion but still really good; what I think helps it is the fact that Marv wolfman himself co-wrote the entire story and dialogue with Marc Guggenheim, many writers & directors for the crisis (before you ask he was credited in part 4 as it was the most significant of the parts ). I think crisis would have been even better if Warner movie division just let them use some characters and not threatened them with taking characters away (most notably Superman and Bruce wayne despite Bruce not being able to use the Batsuit thanks to the deal Warner movie agreed to in exchange for him being on television? ), Greg Berlinati and Marc Guggenheim both along with Pete roth went to Warner bros to ask for a raise in budget to include as much actors they could but they were dicks to them.

And when the Reader can't take it anymore and he/she picks the gun and aims it straigth to its temple feeling distresed because of the atrocity he/she had just witnesed. as he/she closes his/her eyes. Pulls the triguer... But... There's no sound... But there's a BANG!!! Alright.... as a the white flag pops out off the gimmicked .38. Forcing the poor soul to finish the comic thus enduring the tourture thats Marville.Ending on the reader Bitching about it on the internet.

Sergeant Rock would be wonderful to see a highlight of as a Retrospective. Funny enough when I was a kid my Grandma had trunks of old comics that, after I discovered Comics and told her about, she took out for me. Stuff my father had. Including Sergeant Rock. I fondly remember them, but in a very dim sort of way. The details have faded, just the sense of adventure and fun remaining.

Sergeant Rock and Easy Company... it was honestly one of my first comics. I would LOVE to see them highlighted. It's funny. I got into comics because my mother wouldn't sign a permission slip for me to attend outdoor school. So for 3 weeks I was just sitting at a desk they told me to sit at in the annex of my elementary school. Inside that desk, was a random collection of books. Some of these books were ones I've tried to track down at stores before by could never find. Including things like a book about Spiderman (Included a bunch of comics like his origin, first run in with the Green Goblin, the Vulture, etc. As well as little articles between comics talking about the hero, his powers, his supporting cast, comparisons to other heroes like how his webbing could resist 80% of the Human Torch's max heat, turn invisible in an hour like Sue Storm, a one inch thick strand looped around The Thing would hold him still, and how flexible it was compared to Mr. Fantastic), the Fantastic Four, Captain America... I went to my Grandmother's after that first weekend and mentioned the comics. She went up to the attic to take out my dad's old trunk filled with his comic collection (That I had never heard of until then). Included a ton of Gold and Silver Age stuff. Captain America and Sergeant Rock and Easy Company were two of the more numerous ones that I just devoured.

Marv Wolfman is my fucking favorite comics legend. Other people are like Lee, Kirby, Kane, Ennis, Morrison, and Ditko, but for me, Wolfman is the MAN. He did The New Teen Titans and gave them an actual identity beyond "Justice League Junior", wrote the original Spider-Woman comics, created Blade, wrote Crisis, made Dick Grayson the character he is today - not an easy feat. He was way ahead of his time and broke boundaries. I love the shit out of him.

I fell Crisis on Infinite Earths was really one of the few crossovers that really changed things. Most of the others just interrupt the flow of the regular series with little last impact and what impact there is gets undone within a year or two. I think part of the strength of Crisis is they didn't really know what they had yet with events. Secret Wars was largely self contained with only the heroes' exits and returns covered in the regular books, sometimes the very next issue. It was more of a blip to the regular books. I think Crisis hit it best with the tie ins mainly being side stories with either only red skies in the background or heroes dealing with side effects of the main story. You didn't have to buy anything unless you were really interested in finding out what happened to Red Tornado after the JLA satellite blew up. The important stuff happend in the Crisis series, itself. While the initial aftermath may have been dicey (e.g. shipping off the JSA), it ultimately led to a line that embrace history in a way comics hadn't done before, outside of Roy Thomas. The Flash, especially really ran with the idea of their being a legacy between the speedsters and really built a family that loved using their powers to help each other and the public. It's why, I believe, The New 52 couldn't be sustained. It was so different from what people's perception of DC was. It didn't feel like it was really trying to build something new up. However, it wasn't without problems. I think All Star Squadron and Infinity Inc. were really hurt, and they were great.

Rewatching in preparation for the next events comics month, and this comic is even more interesting given recent events in DC. As was mentioned a few times before, DC is still hung up Crisis On Infinite Earths and so many events from DC are meta commentaries on continuity. I'm of two minds of the initial consequences of this comic. While I can see the need for streamlining, there was lore post crisis I prefer, and the idea of many worlds being merged into one is interesting, I've also never been fond of the literal retconning out of characters and erasing everything that came before as if it didn't matter or happen in some sense. I don't think those last points are true anymore, but again, DC is really weird about their continuity.

One thing to say about this story, EPIC! Seriously this story is one of my personal favorites in comics (which admittedly is very few since I'm more of a Video Game/ Manga/ Anime guy.) Though the attitude that DC adapted after this story can just be a spit on Marv Wolfman's face especially regarding what happened with Infinite Crisis and Countdown and the other DC event that Linkara will cover later this month but that's for later.

Oh god...the Losers. They are fucking awesome! Especially in New Frontier when Johnny Cloud made a last stand against a T-Rex (also recreated in the movie but with King Faraday instead)..hell, that bit with The Losers was so cool that their graves on Dinosaur Island was shown in a Superdad comic.

That whole prologue is One of my favorite parts of New Frontier. Johnny Cloud jumping with Grenades into the mouth of a T-Rex is still a crowning moment of awesome. And it kicked so much ass when the recent Tomasi Superman run homaged it.

But the light grew, and the Infinitude Shuddered! And the Darkness finally Screamed, as much in pain as in relief!" Monitor: "I am...THE MONITOR! And I have Summoned you here because your Universes are about to Die!" Joker: "Worth, Oh, Roughly Twenty-Six Million once they underwent the new computer coloration process" Kamandi: "Superman?!" Superman: "How do you?!...Ah of course, you must have met my Earth-1 Counterpart Monitor: "Lyla, what is it? Can't you bring the Luthor Baby to me?" Lyla doesn't quite know how to answer the man who has raised her since childhood. Indeed, how can you explain the sight she now sees? "For Decades, Pessimistic Placards announced 'The World is Coming to an End'...Today heralded by hail-filled crimson skies and electrical fury, the World is INDEED at it's End!"

I think the bit about servant-daughter-lady not knowing how to react to Luthor Jr. was not because of his age, but because of the energy coming off of him. If you look in the shadowed parts of his art, there are white Kirby Dots inter-spaced throughout them.

I actually started reading comics regularly with Crisis on Infinite Earths. I was away from home for the first time and, admittedly, wasn't adjusting well. I'd read comics here and there over the years, but never really got into them due to never being able to get the next issue of continuing stories. I actually started near the end, with Crisis #9. A cover with with every villain of the multiverse ready to attack is eye catching. It was a bit confusing, I must admit, two Luthors (one with hair). Brainiac looking like a robotic skeleton was new, but there was enough to figure out that it was a multi-universe story. It also helped that DC was printing Who's Who at the time and the backstory could be picked up there in the days before Google and Wikipedia. At the time, Tales of the Teen Titans was reprinting the Trigon story and that's where I discovered that Dick Grayson had grown up and become Nightwing. I thought that was really cool that the perpetual sidekick was actually and adult and a strong leader. When the last issue of Crisis hit and Wally became the Flash, I was hooked on the whole idea of sidekicks finally moving out on their own. I was vaguely familiar with Kid Flash from the old Filmation cartoons. I never really thought about it, but given where I was, it probably resonated with me.

You mentioned in here about how fast the Antimatter wave was traveling and an idea popped into my head. Since there is no reason to view this wave as a uniform shape, at least on a universal scale it could be expanding based on what it is encountering, empty space with less matter equals less resistance, therefore when hitting earth and the source for the multiverse, more resistance.

How is it DC can write good, sometimes even great, comics for thier giant reboot/retcons but always make a mess of the actual reboot leading to a even more confused continuity where nobody (including the writers) seem sure what exactly what is now the history of they characters, what did and didn't​ happen. Or worse leaves you with things that still happened so but differently from how the old comics showed it, or happened to some of the characters it used to but not to others. I used to love some of the DC comics but reboot fatigue has just done it in. Even if the current stuff is really good now I don't want to get invested as I expect it to be partially wiped away in a couple of years.

I think the main problem with "Crisis On Infinite Earths," one had led to the problems to this day, is that they didn't go far enough. Many of the problems were caused by trying to keep some parts of the old continuity while wiping out others. This led to conflicts between the titles that had to be worked out, often in ways that created even more problems. An example is with my favorite title: "Legion Of Super-Heroes." When they rebooted Superman one of the things they established is that he was never a Superboy. The problem with that is: Superboy was the inspiration for The Legion and was also a key active member of the team. He could not just be deleted from The Legion's history. So the Legion's Creative Team came up with a story where they established that the Superboy in the Legion was not the one who became Superman. The fix wasn't perfect but it allowed them to keep The Legion's history intact. Had it been allowed to stand The Legion could have continued with minimal issues (it was in a story were Superboy dies saving the world he came from [an Earth a Pocket Universe]). Then they had to completely eliminate Superboy from The Legion's history. This led to a need to do fix after fix after fix. Eventually, The Creative Team ended up wiping out everything and starting over again because the problems simply could not be fixed. If I remember correctly, they wrote that they did it because they were having to spend more time fixing problems than telling stories. I think that if The Creative Teams had started from scratch after the DCU was wiped out it would have avoided the problems that led to the future big events. They could have done a one or two issue story in each title which lays out the current history of the characters with the rule that "if we didn't write it, it didn't happen." Once completed, they could move on with new stories without the need to fix lingering issues.

I've always thought that the excuse that the multiple worlds was "confusing" to new readers was a crock. I started reading comics as an elementary school kid in the 70's and I never had a problem with the idea. It was always explained in whatever story where he multiple Earths played a part. One thing it did do for me as a young reader was connect me to the Golden Age and the rich, colorful history of DC Comics. There was something amazing about the idea that these characters and comics had been around for years before I was even born. History is so pliable these days that most comics seem to exist without any sort of past whatsoever. If they really felt like the multiple characters were problematic, they could have simply issued a moratorium on using the Earth-2 versions going forward. It would have been a lot simpler and still left the history intact.

You know the original DC multiverse was restored with Superman, Supergirl, Parallax during the Convergence event where they went back in time during the events of Crisis Of Infinite Earths to stop it with the help of Brainiac. Cosmic beings called The Hands also restored every iteration of the multiverse in Dark Nights: Death Metal #6. Every version of the multiverse coexist.

There were the occasional hiccups due to keeping the main series largely self contained. Notably, since they actually allowed the regular series to continue their storylines, there was a problem in Green Lantern. They were going to have John Stewart reveal his identity and remove his mask in public (take that Peter Parker). They didn't want Crisis to spoil that, so they had him wear his mask in the early issues. When the main title caught up to Crisis, they had Harbinger insist he wear the mask because that's how he looked in Monitor's video files. It was a little stupid and awkward, but there you go.
