The approach of this comics was different, new and fresh. It seemed a bit dark but also humorous and it shouldn't be taken too seriously. There was no disrespect imo just humor, A Bunny koing a Blue Baby. How can one take this too serious. Take it for what it is, a comic to entertain the readers, a medium that shouldn't be taken too serious, a medium that doesn't take itself serious. Simple.

Spoiler:
what type of threat Immortal Man inadvertently released when he killed Vandal Savage. The repercussions from this seem like they will be multiversal.[edit]
Do you think the threat is a member of the Gentry?

It's Nix Uotan. Wonder if every issue (but the final) will have him being released on the different worlds.
Damn! Nice catch!
Originally posted by ares834I think so. I also think that people(be them real people[ie. us], or fictional people[ie. in-universe characters]) reading the Multiversity comics is what's feeding Nix/The Gentry/multiversal destruction... That seems to be the linchpin so far, at least--hence all the dialogue about the comics being "cursed", along with the numerous prompts for us to stop reading the books ASAP.

...Of course, I refuse to stop reading. So I suppose that makes me an accessory multiversal collapse, and the deaths of trillions. evillaugh
So far we've been told that one world's fiction is a window into the reality of another world but what if it's all backwards?
Maybe imagination expressed through the arts is what shapes reality, and having people engage in it is what gives that reality power.
This certainly fits in well with Morrison's views on sigil magic.

So if we stop reading and get the book cancelled everybody lives happily? At least they give us proper incentive not to buy comics.
Originally posted by appletoniaWe already saw a bit of this concept in 'Superman Beyond'. The characters who hadn't been used or thought of in quite a while, ended up in the limbo zone.

Well, Earth-16 Batman seems to have figured out the 'curse' behind The Multiversity comics:

"The Cordyceps fungus takes control of an ant's brain, then spores via its host's head. Imagine a lifeform like that, distinguished as a story. A set of deadly hypnotic inductions."

what issue is that from?
anyone reading the infinite crisis-fight for the mulitverse? it's been....okay. a couple terrible issues i thought, but a few good ones. much of the dialogue has been....pretty awful imo. i like some of the iterations, (like hal) but i dislike some too (daimian is a TOTAL douche in any reality, apparently....)

I've been reading "Fight for the Multiverse" since the first issue. It has been very hit and miss... Great concepts that are sometimes poorly executed, and/or dragged out ad nauseam. However, I AM curious to see what this next issue brings. An alternate Lex potentially in control of ALL Monitor-tech? That's effing scary.
yeah, the gaslit lex is pretty cool. a testament to how smart he is across all worlds. he's gonna be a problem for sure.
i assume we are to assume that the two-faced and the quest for the artifacts was instigated by the gentry, right? and i presume the society book that followed the first multiversity issue was intended to be a 'comic' book warning to other comic characters--immortal man's reality is a 'comic' in some alternate world and that world's heroes are supposed to read it and realize it was an ACTUAL warning? and do you assume immortal man's world....died when uotan was summoned at the end?
all the meta text is cool, but trying to summarize it and really understand what is happening is a wee bit challenging.....
