Wut up good friend.Hey Jun, if the godwave created everything, what did the Presence create?
Or the Source?
I though Michael created everything/sustains everything,
but that's contradictory to the godwave empowering everything.
Beyond that,
how would you differentiate the three?
Also,
what role does the GEB/Michael/Lucifer/Word/Logos/gog play in conjunction with the above?
One more, how does the Ultimator fit into all this
since I've heard it is the embodiment of everything?
DC comics, tends to ignore what happens in the Vertigo titles, and vice versa, in fact, the editors claim it's not even the same reality, which is wierd to explain to people and have them understand it because some events seem to happen in both Universes. The explanation is that many characters and events are similar[as they're helmed by the same parent company], but are seperated by artistic depiction. As such, a Vertigo writer can grab a DC character and start writing whatever they want, without a worry about continuity in the slightest. For example; Wesley Dodds has been DEAD in DC for some time, but they still write stories for him in Vertigo. Deadman is Boston Brand in DC, but in Vertigo it's Brandon Cayce. When one company has a title about a character, the other temporarily 'loses' it's rights so as not to confuse people. [In this case- Jonah Hex for Deadman] Vertigo and DC are entirely different entities. And although the pieces fit sometimes, they should remain seperate for the most part.
This is at least how it is now, when the Vertigo imprint was originally made, it wasn't altogether 'out of continuity', it was merely the "Adult" imprint, where stories that had things too graphic or themes too mature for an average kid reader to purchase. Many tales prior to it's formation where moved to this, and some still have effects in continuity, as such- Sandman and Animal are pretty much entrenched in continuity, however "Lucifer" as a solo endeavor, was launched and reigned during the more modern "Out of Continuity" era, despite it's close connection to Sandman- which indeed was a major selling point for the series. However it's events that aren't covered in "The Sandman", particularly, have never been seen or counted in DC continuity.
All of the above, the Source, the Word, The Logoz, THe Hand, The Earthborn Angels, the Godboy, The Voice, The Spectre/Wrath and pretty much every godly-type body and being linked to god, are written to be fragments of the true supreme being of a Judeo-Christian belief.
And the Godwave is contradictory to a lot of stuff, both now and then when it was released, but certainly seems to still be in continuity, afaik. As such, it created the power that the OAN battery holds? Well, the OAN battery is a represention of the combined willpower of the universe. The Godwave created willpower in the universes creatures? Hmm. There was a lot of inconsistancies in that story. Great read though!
