Hell Arisen #2-Discussion/spoilers not of the issue but confusing story points.

[sifighter]

Hey so Hell Arisen #2 is out today, and I guess it’s continuing the story of Perpetua and Apex Lex while also dealing with the Secret Six/Batman who laughs dark multiverse stuff which I will admit is an odd mix. But I’m not really here to discuss the issue itself, someone else can do that in comments if they want. I’m more here to discuss something bothering me after reading this issue.

In issue 1, which apparently follows the unreleased issue 39 of Justice League, it looks as though Perpetua has won and is planning her next move while also bringing back in the Crime Syndicate. In that we’ve learned that she has captured the forger and the monitor with Anti-monitor serving her. Not to mention that they say that the Justice League has been defeated or “crushed”.

Now what comes up in this issue has thrown me for a loop. Because in this issue Apex Lex infiltrates...the Hall of Justice? And it’s perfectly fine, back where it belongs before Batman made it fly, and except for the main 7 of the league all the reserves are there. We see Hawk and Dove, Doctor Light, Miss Martian, Beast Boy, Booster Gold, and etc. And it’s not another earth because they have infected Commissioner Gordon locked up just like the current Batman/Superman book.

So while I know it might be explained in issue 39 of Justice league, I’m actually a little confused what’s going on if Perpetua and Lex think they are winning but the League is somehow still intact. I’m actually not sure what to make of this if I’m honest and it’s a tad odd to show the world is fine ish(because story reasons not really) but the big bad is waiting to destroy/take over the multiverse. Thoughts anyone?

Maybe Earth 0 is part of the evil Earths now. Until 5G fully sets in.

I had made a thread a while ago asking what the Snyder JL reading order was because of this problem. I had no idea what to read from Year of The Villain, Infected and all of the other stuff.

I think this take place before the big battle in JL #37-39

Unfortunately it’s after, the first issue in the story made it clear. Here is the page.

Son of a gun; then I am at a loss.

You're totally right; but in the solicitations there is no mention of this in issue #40

I think with Snyder leaving, issues 40 and onward are filler issues until whatever the big story event is

Where could I find a list of 'evil earths'?

Multiverse map. And it was already mentioned the big bad is destroying good earths first. Or ones with potential to be good.

Don't even try to understand, I have already mentioned the numerous continuity errors on several threads.
DC just don't care about coherence and continuity and they have reached a level I had never seen before in a comic crossover.
