    Default DC’s Very Merry Multiverse Special

    Usually these holiday/seasonal specials are just filled with fluff and occasionally there will be a good story buried somewhere. This one was surprisingly good. I really enjoyed almost all the short stories, plus it’s always fun to take a trip through the multiverse.

    Some great entries and featured characters. The gender swapped heroes of Earth 11 taking on Starrla the Conqueress , the arcane heroes of of Earth 13, Gotham By Gaslight Batman (and Plastic Man), David Walker telling a great President Superman tale, and of course no holiday would be complete without some Lobo destruction courtesy of Tom King.

    The Lobo story gave me a few laughs and even had a surprisingly poignant moment. There’s even a Batman Beyond short drawn by Dustin Nguyen.

    I love Teen Justice already lmao. Aquagirl, Kid Quick and Donald Troy are my favorites!

    The original kon-el was in a display case in the planet krypton restaurant in the booster gold story. Cool to see him there, and thst means he was a hero on that planet BEFORE he went to the future with Supergirl and joined the Legion.


    Drawn by Todd nauck the artist in the original YJ comic series

    Not!Evil Maxwell Lord and Booster reminiscing about Ted was my favorite story, I never thought I'd see good Max again.

    This was fun, nothing groundbreaking but it was fun.

    I guess is too late to ask King to drop the pretentious writing but you would think that he at least would do something different for a frikking Lobo story.

    Well you'll be seeing more of Kid Quick at least, as they're the Flash in Future State Justice League.

    I was super pleased that the Earth-19 story explicetely followed the Convergence Shazam story, with the same designs for both the Bat-Blimp and Mr. Freeze. kudos to whoever made that descioin!

    All over a very good oneshot. Special mentions to the Earth-23,19. 29 and 47 stories!

    It’s obviously not essential reading but if you love multiverse stories and Morrison’s Multiversity I would recommend it.
