You were talking about Grant Morrison’s philosophy of we are apart of the story and I love that idea. I believe if you read the Superman mini series in Final Crisis he tells that story in the most fascinating way with the anti monitor and his quest to get the pill that will save Lois’s life. It might be my all time favorite Superman mini series. You really need to read it a few times to capture the essence of it as it is deep and complicated but it is a really kind warp that is fully rewarding. And that’s the thing with Morrison, the deeper you dig into what he writing the more rewarding it becomes. You f you just read over it once you’ll have a slightly confusing but essentially enjoyable super hero story. But if you dive into the language, the details, the set, of you really spend the time to understand what each character is saying and what story is being told, you get one of the most fulfilling reads of any genre. It’s truly a work of art that we are lucky to have. Because there are hundreds of comics that don’t dice this deep, and a lot of them are great, but I’m just glad we have Morrison’s stories that offer something more.
I bought the medium sized one. I am niether a full blown comic book guy, nor am I a full blown reader; but I enjoyed this. I put it on my shelf as book one of the METAL story. Thank you for this video
Loved this series so much. Morrison on top form and a great companion to Final Crisis. Contains one of the best page turns I’ve ever had in a comic and I love that you can real Pax Americana either forwards or backwards 😂🙏
Awesome. I am so happy this is finally coming out. I really wish Morrison had gotten around to Multiversity 2. I am so much more interested in whatever he wouldve done instead of what Dark Crisis ended up doing.
Completely agree. I've only read a couple issues of Dark Crisis, and I liked it, but it feels very uninspired. Grant's stories always have layers and nuanced characters.
I recommend the miniseries Infinite Frontier and Justice League Incarnate. They bring the Justice Incarnate characters back in a big way, along with the Gentry and the Empty Hand, even revealing that the Empty Hand is apparently an extension of nothing less than the Great Darkness itself, which is a cool way to tie him in to the DCU at large.
@@femoman I do need to read those. I like Joshua Williamson and maybe if I had a more complete picture of what led up to Dark Crisis I'd be more invested in the story. Thanks for the recommendations.
I’ll roll the dice and hope you describe it as one of Morrison’s better works . Was blown away by Flex Montalo and the Invincibles Vol 1 is as far as I go. Fingers crossed ?
Waiting for it to arrive in the mail so I can pore over all the details. Interestingly, DC is still mining Grant's ideas with Justice League Incarnate.......
Easily one of funnest superhero books I've ever - Pax Americana is an absolute, bonafide masterpiece. I've never owned an absolute edition, but I may make an exception for Multiversity
The book and slip case are beautiful, my only complaint is the spine on both. The original spine used for the Deluxe edition was a lot better, imo. I'm not sure if I'm going to get it, but it's very tempting.
He is Shazam and will almost always be Shazam from now on. Because DC CANNOT market Captain Marvel. They can call him Captain Marvel in a book technically like he was in the Fawcett verse in Multiversity, and theoretically even could in a movie. But they could not actually sell him as Captain Marvel and use it as the title of a movie or action figures theyd want to sell or the title of a comic book. So its much simpler to just call him Shazam. The Wizard is also called Shazam. Which makes enough sense because Shazam basically becomes the successor to the Wizard Shazam. So he is the NEW Shazam.
Been interested in getting this because of Captain Carrot. I am currently reading COIE and have Infinite Crisis. But no real interest in getting Final Crisis. Will I be able to follow this? I'm not too familiar with DC after the early 90s.
52 Earth or 52 Multiverse? I think it is a map for 52 Multiverse. Which means infinite earth. Multiverse 1, can be filled with Earth 1, Earth-1, Earth One Multiverse 2 is Earth 2, Earth-2, Earth-Two, Earth-Two-A, Earth-154 etc
@@Stephen_D421 I kind of like the story but not Absolute money worthy, that's for sure. And while I'm partial to story, the art wasn't breathtaking, except for some nice panel transitions here and there. Personally, I think Absolute editions should be a bit more limited and should focus on comics with groundbreaking art and visual layout. Just my opinion.
@@GoldenMean743 agreed absolute should be based on art more than story I wish DC done a absolute Gen13 rather than this cause it’s Jim Lee and J Scott Campbell art.
@@warrenweaver6664 Haven't heard anything about the Absolute Swamp Thing first run. Bernie Wrightson is definitely Absolute worthy to me, though. It's coming out on the 20th, and I already have mine pre-ordered.

Well said! Hundred percent agree with you.
Comic name?
DC doesn’t put out the quantity of books marvel does but the ones they do release they put way more effort into
I totally dig the whole of DC’s cosmic stories, but this one is a personal favorite of mine. Pax Americana is for me.
I bought the medium sized one. I am niether a full blown comic book guy, nor am I a full blown reader; but I enjoyed this. I put it on my shelf as book one of the METAL story. Thank you for this video
I want this just for the map. I have the trade but that poster is coo.

I've never read this, but I ordered because it just looks so cool!
Great overview Omar! I was very much on the fence, but once you started talking about the depth of this book, you sold me again.
That Hulk Grand Design 👀
Really want this. Haven’t read it yet, but I love Morrison. I was obsessed with Seven Soldiers as it came out in singles.
It is a quality story, but I don't think it's worth the Absolute expense. Buy a standard HC if they have it or a tpb.

Got my copy 2 weeks ago - it's an amazing edition.
Hey leaflet buddy. I keep them as well. They might one day be collectable.😄😂Looks like a sweet book.😋
Will you do your haul soon Omar. Feels like a while since the previous one?🙂
Looking forward to this. Making a spot for this to fit next to my Absolute Crisis on Infinite Earths, Infinite Crisis, and Final Crisis books.
Very good looking book.
I see the hulk grand design in the background. I saw it was on preorder. Have you done a review of it yet?
Not yet. Sometime early January.
@@NearMintCondition alright thankyou
Waiting for it to arrive in the mail so I can pore over all the details. Interestingly, DC is still mining Grant's ideas with Justice League Incarnate.......
Really glad I sold my deluxe edition and ordered the absolute earlier this week, looks like a beautiful book.
Thanks for the overview, Omar!
HELL YES
Great, great overview!
Easily one of funnest superhero books I've ever - Pax Americana is an absolute, bonafide masterpiece.
I've never owned an absolute edition, but I may make an exception for Multiversity
Its soooooo pretty:) Thx Omar :)

Same here. I In this case i don't upgrade my deluxe edition.
I agree. I like the original design.
I love the absolute editions, but i'm also not upgrading my deluxe edition.
6:05 That's Destiny of the Endless
This might be the only Absolute Edition I ever get

Also, there's a big page difference with this vs Deluxe. What makes up the extra pages? Thanks!
52 Earth or 52 Multiverse?
I think it is a map for 52 Multiverse.
Which means infinite earth.
Multiverse 1, can be filled with
Earth 1,
Earth-1,
Earth One
Multiverse 2 is
Earth 2,
Earth-2,
Earth-Two,
Earth-Two-A,
Earth-154
etc
I feel like this would be a good thing to read through before getting into Dark Crisis. Can anyone concur?
I my gosh
Looks so cool
Any idea if there will be a Scott Snyder Justice League omnibus?
No word yet.
A pass for me had the deluxe but ended up getting rid of it cause I just didn’t care for it.
Why was that. I just got it but havent read it and want to purge a couple of things.
@@Stephen_D421 I felt it was just not complete idk when I read the deluxe the story was just not doing it for me. I got bored to fast with it.

Could you suggest me a very recent story about DC multiverse? I love Multiversity and I struggle to find something similar 🙏🦸💎
