I'm clipping out that 2-page list of Earths and pasting it into my Multiverse scrapbook next to the big 52 map and all the older ones. It'll be useful for at least a year or two.
After the monumental events of Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths #4, Pariah has successfully resurrected the infinite Multiverse...and all of reality is still reeling from the event. Join Doctor Multiverse on a haunting journey through these newly re-formed realities, from The Jurassic League to DC: Mech...from Dark Knights of Steel to Batman '89 and back again...in a guest-star-galore all-new epic by comics legend and DC architect Mark Waid!
Dark Crisis is an arc that has been building over the collected issues, at times the story does get a little fragmented with it's different off-shoots but now we are coming towards the finale this is proving to be an unmissable series. Read Full Review
This was a fun book, a cotton candy treat. Read Full Review
Dark Crisis: Big Bang #1 is a fascinating, well-structured follow-up to Crisis on Infinite Earths, more so than the main Dark Crisis title. Waids decision to build the story out from Barrys point of view, both as the cataloguer of the multiverse, and the man murdered by the Anti-Monitor, ensures theres a tight tension at the core of the one-shot even as it functions as a kaleidoscope of Elseworlds. Getting Jurgens and Rapmund for the art was a knockout decision, ensuring that the universes are rendered with a level of quality that has been honed over years of experience. The consistent fuses with the innovative use of color and paneling create not only an issue full of fan service for all the world visited, but as a strong epilogue to Crisis. This one-shot is a must-read for DC fans going forward, offering the premise of a blank slate, and a bright future for the DC Universe going forward. Read Full Review
The issue feels like a tribute to the past few decades of stories, and to Barry Allen in particular as he faces his greatest demon one last time and turns the page towards a new future. Read Full Review
A must read for DC fans, or people wanting to understand the new status quo. There's a long road ahead. Read Full Review
Dark Crisis: Big Bang offers readers a quick tour through the multiverse that serves as a tribute to Elseworlds old and new. Read Full Review
Nevertheless, if you can decouple that hot takeaway from the ongoing Crisis and treat this issue as a standalone title with nothing to do with the Dark Crisis, it's a fun, quick story that organizes DC Comics' "work desk, puts "labels on some of the "files, places those "papers into nice neat piles, and gets things ready for what's to come. It's almost like an abbreviated, partial summary of the multiverse all in one place with an actual checklist at the very end. Read Full Review
These days, every crossover worth its salt needs a guidebook and this one does the trick with a well-crafted story as well. Read Full Review
It's a fun romp with major implications for the DCU moving forward. Read Full Review
If you're on the side of fandom that feels an infinite multiverse within DC is the right call, this will likely be a fist-pumping one-shot as we move toward the finale of Dark Crisis and DC's next impending reboot. If not, it's at least cool to look at. Read Full Review
Super fun charge of energy to get us to the end of this event.
This one issue has been better than the entire event lmao.
Very mid fanservice book but in a good way. Kind of like this whole event.
Well, this was good. If youre a DC fan and you like the multiverse and continuity stuff, youre gonna like this. Also, Jurgens in the art is still good.
