Sorry if I ramble, I've a terrible cold and have been in bed for the first time this week for about twelve hours. I'm a lil' fuzzy headed.
I'm confused, friend. Do you mean that you have no interest in these stories because they don't hold to continuity?
I do agree that the All Star line is there to satisfy fans that want that kind of comic that no longer exists, but is also free of continuity. It's what it says on the label, more or less.
Crossovers and event comics are usually huge info dumps with every character apparently walking out the door that day into a suddenly crowded street full of disasters and dialogue, so... that's just what this is. The only difference with Infinite Crisis is that this time around we've had two years of build up, multiple minis and a kind of interconnected-ness in the monthlies that created a cohesive DC universe.
It's a crazy, violent, turbulent and different universe than what was published in 1984, but it does, in its weird comic book way, pay homage to and integrate DC continuity.
I'm 99% sure Pariah showed up out of the blue in Villains United #6 solely because that's what he does, right? He shows up, yells and wails and then bad shot goes down. In fact, Luthor even summed up his character for us in his capture of Pariah.
The multiple Earths thing is addressed in the JSA: Powergirl and Return of Donna Troy series but in essence the idea is that there are still multiple universes and left overs from that universe. In DC continuity, both Donna and Power Girl were the subject of numerous new origins since the original Crisis, so it holds water.
I think that if you're solely upset over continuity problems that you'll be fine with the Infinite Crisi. |
