The Good

Get ready for a comic that's a little different. When it comes to comics by Grant Morrison, sometimes you have to expect the unexpected. THE MULTIVERSITY will be either totally unexpected or exactly what you thought it would be, since there's so much going on. This is Morrison being able to do what he wants and we're the ones that benefit from it.

There are different layers to the story here. Part of it gets a little meta as the idea that some of the different worlds are told in comics. As Morrison has mentioned, this is actually part of what the characters use as they go from world to world. The comics will give them information in the new worlds. They'll definitely need them.

The issue starts out with the return of a familiar face, Nix Uotan. When we have the last of the Monitors in an issue, it's time to sit up and take notice. The idea of getting to explore the other worlds in the DC Multiverse if fascinating. Calvin Ellis (President Superman), last fully seen in Morrison's ACTION COMICS #9, will play a big role. After he gets pulled in, things get even stranger as we meet other super-powered heroes from across the Multiverse. There's a nice big feel to the story by including these different characters. That's exactly what you would want in a story with this kind of scope and because we've been waiting for a little while.

To top things off, we have art by Ivan Reis and Joe Prado with color by Nei Ruffino. It's a great way to kick off the MULTIVERSITY storyline by having this first bookend part look so good. We're talking forty pages of story here. It's definitely a blast getting seeing their art cover so many different worlds in the Multiverse.

The Bad

Obviously there may be some confusion during all of this. But even if you're not familiar with "President Superman" or any of the other characters, it doesn't matter since each character is quickly introduced to some extent. Knowing that this isn't a "New 52" comic will help give you the mindset you might need to dive into the story.

The Verdict

MULTIVERSITY is finally here and it's a trip and a half. Grant Morrison is just showing us the tip of the iceberg of the DC Multiverse. There's a big threat on the horizon and with so many different characters and worlds, there's no telling what might happen next. Ivan Reis and Joe Prado set the stage in a glorious way. This is a comic you won't want to miss. Morrison is setting up some big things here and it's going to be a fun and crazy ride.

Heard many good things about this book. The comics critics and comics fans said this might be the best Grant Morrison works. I can't wait to read this :)

There's a chance that Vibe can pop up right? I think he's trapped in The Multiverse due to his vibration powers. Others think so too!

Grant Morrison is a mixed bag for me, sometimes he's great, sometimes he's just weird. But I'll give this first issue a try.

"Who else wants to argue with cartoon physics?" Loved this book so much!! Oddly reminded me of the first crisis,which i also loved so that worked out. Plus i was surprised to see Harbinger,eager to learn her place in this story. Captain Carrot was a beast! Oh, i made a punny :D

I like Morrison's stuff, but I find it reads better in trade (so that's what I'll wait for). Still, good to hear the first issue is great!

Liked the issue. I hate to admit it but I didn't really felt the whole "haunted issue" thing. When the ending came and the issue was like "What have you done" I didn't really felt bad :P.

But all in all this series has so much potential. The issues I am expecting the most from the ones I know are the Captain Marvel one, Pax Americana, The Nazi reichmen one and the Super-sons one.

Loved the ending of this issue. This could turn out to be really interesting. My only question is how and does this relate or tie into the "Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse" digital comic as as both Nix and Harbinger are in that story as well.

I am guessing this will tie into the ending of forever evil. Hopefully Donna Troy will be making a grand debut in this series.

@obsidian_raindrop1: For the most part that is true but there are rumors of the DCAU (DC Animated Universe) aka Batman Beyond 2.0 etc actually being one of the 52 Multiverses. If you read the Digital Infinite Crisis book it has a ton of similarities between the current NEW 52 and that book. The only character that is different from what we have seen in that so far is Zatanna as she is in her classic outfit instead of New 52, but she acts more like the New 52 Z.

@obsidian_raindrop1: Not saying that Batman Beyond from 2.0 is same as Batman Beyond of Future's End. I'm saying that Batman Beyond 2.0 (DCAU) is rumored to be one of the other New 52 Multiverse Earth's. Batman Beyond seen in Future's End is from Earth Prime's Timeline. Batman Beyone 2.0 (DCAU) could be Earth 49 for all we know.

@burningzerox: we will know when the guidebook is revealed half way through the series. While there is an earth like that it's not sure if they exist (but seeing how the kwtt thing is the radio shows then it does) but this all started because someone asked whether this tied into infinite crisis fight for the multiverse and the shrot answer is no unless you cont it being somewhere in the dc multiverse.

Have you read the description for Earth 8 at DC's site? It's great.
