Marvel Comics CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS

When they started publishing Ultimate, it was the first ongoing parallel dimension that was like an Earth-2. Now, they have multiple Earths coming out of the woodwork. Can Marvel keep it's continuity straight for good - or is a COIE inevitable?

Nah, Marvel seems rather content to just ignore continuity.

No they don't.......... not often anyway.

😐

Because it worked so well for DC I hope it never happens in Marvel.

Marvel's not bad with continuity. They do their best to keep things in line. Sometimes minor stuff just slips through.

There are Marvel characters with histories tied to WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. Eventually, they will get so far in the past it won't be logical. A reboot will have to happen.

Marvel has a Sliding time scale. Don't see what the big problem is.

Co-sign!

Eventually, maybe....because each new generation gets buried under eons of continuity that they're not familiar with. That's kinda why they started the Ultimate universe. But it's such a big ripoff of DC that they'd be hesitant to do it.

But they have loads of fun with, say, Exiles jumping from universe to universe that it really doesn't seem to be a problem like it was in DC.

maybe some of the waaaaaaaaay older characters (punisher, cap america) can just get repectable deaths, or pass on the handle

^What he said.

They need another Infinity Gauntlet storyline so badly right now. Instead they gave their fans a Civil War. It's like...what are you doing Marvel? Don't be afraid to go into cosmic events.

Annihilation....

what's wrong with Civil War? I'm enjoying it ✅

Seems that every DC fan is attacking Civil War because Infinite Crisis was a piece of garbage.

ah right 🙂 Well I liked Infinite crisis and I like Civil War so far. I'm preferring Civil War by far though......

I liked IC until issue 7, then I fell out of my chair when it was all about Superman.

All Marvel really needs is the 616 universe, and the Ultimate Universe and I think the fans will still be happy.

What I've read of both Ahnihilation and Civil War has been pretty decent so far.

...and IC was awesome. Yeah..the ending was anticlimatic but the lead in's and xovers were awesome.
