Remember Grant Morrison's Multiversity? Remember reading Ultra Comics #1, the supposed cursed comic? That talked of memetic engineering, hinted at the gentry invading our own earth?
It didn't seem like it affected anything at the time, but recent events have me thinking twice... what have we unleashed, Sup Forums? Hypercrisis general, I guess.
Luis Rivera
Recent events?
Charles Walker
Trump and other general instances of memes seeping into reality.
Xavier Lopez
He understood the power of memes
Praise kek Death to cucks
Caleb Cox
My Amazon order for the Multiversity collection finally got updated. It'll be nice to read the whole thing.
Henry Rivera
grants big thing is sigil magic, and really whats the fuckin difference between sigils and memes when you really think about it
Alexander Walker
Absolutely nothing. Meme magic IS sigil magic. As the election proved, sometimes people themselves are the memes and the sigils.
Eli Barnes
exactly bro. morrison is bringing the DC universe to life. people are crossing over from a DCU to ours even, batmen are popping up. shit's getting weird.
Luis Collins
Did it only just now get released in paperback? Damn.
Charles Perez
the hardcover deluxe has been out for like a year.
Sebastian Perez
GRANT MORRISON PROMISED ME A PONY
WHERE IS THE FUCKING PONY, MORRISON
Benjamin Clark
The multiverse is already alive. We are Earth-33.
Jose Scott
i disagree, there was some loon talking about how he thinks we arent earth 33 a while ago and it made a lot of sense based on my experiences, but that we're the earth above earth zero when you look on the map.
Gavin Reyes
shut up ultra comics! trying to get people to read your shitty pages...
Gabriel Brooks
Earth-14? Until we learn more about how that universe works, then I'm going to stick with Earth-33.
Which is to say, I still want off of Earth-33. Take me to Earth-26 or something, please.
Cooper Allen
Are you talking about the Haley user?
Michael King
This map stopped making sense months ago, and if we're the Earth above E-0 then what the fuck is up with that shaky border as if it's going to split in two?
Kevin Allen
If Morrison really turns out to be a wizard I don't even know what I'll do.
Anthony Gomez
It wasn't elaborated upon in the series proper, but Earth-14 is supposedly the origin point of new universes as they enter the Multiverse.
Nathaniel Adams
Drop me off at Earth-47 please.
Jackson Moore
SO this map, is there a true new genesis and apokolips?
I'm assuming the darkseid of Final crisis was the true darkseid.
Blake Lopez
The idea is that the Sphere of the Gods encompass the Multiverse and those who are native to the Sphere are able to visit the universes and take up alternate forms within each universe.
For example, you have Darkseid in Earth-0, the evil hippie Doc Syde on Earth-47, and Duckseid on Earth-26. All would be branches or offshoots of the primary Darkseid who exists in the Sphere, but ultimately they would be the same person.
I'm not sure if it's the case that the Darkseid of the Sphere of the Gods is the Darkseid we see in Final Crisis, but given the bodiless and multi-dimensional form, it could easily be the case.
Brayden Bennett
surrender.
Parker Nelson
Don't blame me.
I bought/burned my copy having never touched/read it.
Aiden Cruz
Fool! You were supposed to read it, close it and never look back!
Isaac Lopez
First metahumans will appear as elite soldiers in WW3.
Jack Jenkins
think of it like jungian archetypes. there is the idea of darkseid in the sphere of the gods, and there are representations in each universe
Wyatt Green
the map cant make sense, as its a 2 dimensional representation of the fourth dimension, so theres no real way to show how it really is. and in regards to us being earth 14/ the double earth, considering the stories are "written" on our earth, who's to say this isnt where they enter the multiverse, ya dig
Tyler Edwards
Why are they ducks?
Joshua Garcia
I still have my second untouched copy in a shoebox in the back of my closet.
Parker Kelly
You've lost me. Open it, and receive a free Intellectron action figure! With real eye-blinking and wing-flapping action! Press the button his back to hear one of his classic catchphrases like "YU ARE MINE" and "WE WANT YU 2 DIE"
Logan Hughes
which part lost you, its really just a silly little theory i have but im happy to talk about it
Gabriel Morris
The map is a two-dimensional representation of our four-dimensional multiverse, yes, but it doesn't mean it doesn't make sense. You just have to keep in mind that all of the Earths occupy the same space, but are only accessible through differing vibrational wavelengths.
And while stories are created on Earth-33, it doesn't necessarily mean they are actual universes in our multiverse. For one, Multiversity showed that there are several multiverses. Two, our Earth being responsible for the entirety of the multiverse would imply that every non-canon story becomes its own universe, and thus we'd have to deal with a planet for every Elseworld, including the crappy ones.
