E56: The Multiversity Guidebook #1 Reviews [Devil Comics Entertainment]

Grant Morrison gives us an avalanche of information of the DC Multiverse in the Multiversity: Guideook. We get a highlight of each of the worlds which were various Elseworlds books of the nineties. These stories took place outside of the Post-Crisis DC Universe canon books. Now these stories matter and exist at the same time. 

The Multiversity: Guidebook #1 begins as the events of Thunderworld spills over as the Sivanas of the Multiverse attack the Little League as the Earth-17 Batman arrives to save them. We are given the history of the DC Universe beginning with the Flash of Two Worlds, the Crisis on Earth-One where the Justice Society and Justice League first met, Crisis of Infinite Earths, Zero Hour, Infinite Crisis, Final Crisis, Flashpoint, and finally the Multiversity. We are also given an index of the 52 known worlds of the DC Multiverse. It is also revealed that the Monitor Nix Uotan of the Gentry unleashes Darkseid to plague creation. His hand is the same one at the beginning of creation. The finale of the issue sees the Multiverse heroes assemble against the threat from the first issue of Multiversity.
