I liked the Flex Mentallo sort of vibe it had... I also dig Quitely artwork, so I was a little biased going in. stick out tongue

Amazing issue, almost right up there with Multiversity #1.

My revised ranking:

1. The Multiversity #1 - 9.5
2. Pax Americana #1 - 9.2
3. The Just #1 - 8.4
4. S.O.S. #1 - 7.6

After reading it a couple of times I feel I have a pretty good grasp of the story, though there are still a few mysteries and I'm guessing a lot of stuff below the surface that I've missed. Might understand it a bit more once I've read the whole series, though that being said I'd say out of all the one-shots so far this one seems to have the least to do with the overarching meta story.

Ultra Comics is the one book that has been featured in every issue of Multiversity so far--it's the proverbial linchpin of the series. Can't wait to read it.

New interview with Morrison.

http://www.salon.com/2014/12/13/ gr...ght_white_male/

So, it looks like Earth 34 is an homage to Astro City and Earth 35 is Liefeld's Extreme.

quote:
Was it a freeing experience to run wild inventing new Earths and (anti)heroes, while tearing down established ones?

I tried to color within the lines. DC Comics has a rich history of parallel Earths and as I said, I kept the ones I liked, sharpened them up a little, and created a few new universes (!) based on rival superhero comic book publishers like Marvel, Image or Extreme. For some perverse reason, I get off on taking money for making up daft analogues of existing characters, like �Spore� instead of �Spawn,� �Major Max� instead of �Captain Marvel,� or �Doctor Nemo� instead of �No-Man.� There�s quite a bit of that and it�s all in the upcoming �Multiversity Guidebook,� where you�ll see analogues of Rob Liefeld or Kurt Busiek�s own analogues of DC and Marvel characters. These are twice-removed analogues � copies of copies � where something like Busiek�s Captain Marvel stand-in, the tuxedo-wearing Gentleman, becomes Earth-34�s L�il Abner-lookin� Good Guy. Where Rob Liefeld�s Wonder Woman knock-off, Glory, turns into Earth-35�s Majesty, Queen of Venus and so on. Riffs upon riffs of riffs. It�s like guitar feedback.

Thunderworld Adventures read like a good 'ol Golden Age/Fawcett-era tale. It was decent, but probably my least favorite issue so far.

Do you have any theories on what or who Ultra is?

Loved it. Absolutely loved it. Morrison needs to write a Captain Marvel ongoing ASAP.

On a different note, this is the first time we've seen the Gentry defeated.

Good wins.

And the corrupting influence of the Gentry is either banished or thrown in the trash.

hmm, where did you get the idea that the gentry is directly involved? not saying you're wrong, just legit curious.

i also loved the issue. if morrison took on a cm book, i'd be first in line to buy. thumb up

on a separate note: i get that sivana, and others, have been inspired by this comic that is being disseminated throughout the multiverse, but....do we know yet who is behind the dissemination? and just how do the characters actually know that the book really IS tales from other ACTUAL mutliverses?

i'm loving the takes on rl comic company universes, but i'm still REALLY foggy on just what is happening, the general, over-arching idea, and the impact the first book is intended to be having.... i feel really dumb reading this series. sad

i haven't gone through and read any other literature about the series (interviews, reviews, etc...) because in general i don't think a reader should be required to do so. but in this case, i'm thinking about breaking my own rule for the sake of my sanity and understanding. i REALLY hate feeling like i can't understand a comic book. no expression
