Recommendations from Comixology's Multiversity Sale

As usual, DC wants you to get hyped for a new upcoming series and Comixology is also helping by offering a sale focusing on the different characters from the multiverse to make people excited for the upcoming Multiversity series by Grant Morrison.

And I'm also here as usual to give you some recommendations:
  • 52: I already talked about this in the past so I will just say that it's the best weekly series in history, I highly suggest you to check it out.
  • Crisis on Infinite Earths: Co-created by Marv Wolfman and George Perez, this is the story that destroyed the whole multiverse the first time and created the famous post-COIE earth. It was a pretty good story for its time but some of its aspects are pretty dated by today standards. I would still suggest you to read it since it's the one that basically established DC's events.
  • Infinite Crisis: Written by Geoff Johns, this is a proper sequel to COIE and explores some of the most interesting aspects from that story. You need to check this series.
  • Final Crisis: Created by Grant Morrison, it's a pretty flawed tale from a storytelling perspective but it's still a quite interesting one focusing on the whole DCU and Morrison is going to use many of the concepts he created here on Multiversity so I would still recommend you to give it a chance.
  • Superman: Red Son: Probably one of the best stories written by Mark Millar focuses on an alternate Superman who was found in Russia. A really interesting concept that is executed perfectly.
  • Kingdom Come: Already talked about this one but this story co-created by Mark Waid and Alex Ross is a great take on this classic characters.
  • The Flash #123: The beginning of the multiverse with the first encounter between Barry Allen and Jay Garrick in the classic story "Flash of Two Worlds".
  • Action Comics #9: In this story, Morrison introducing Calvin Ellis, the Superman from Earth 23 who is going to be one of the protagonists from Multiversity. It's the strongest issue from Morrison's Action Comics run too.
Hope that this helps with your decision.

  1. Final Crisis has such a poor reputation, but I don't think it really deserves one. It's just very busy, but it's coherent for all its ambition. Morrison frequently writes his version of the ultimate superhero story, and this is an epic swoop through DC lore, old and new.

    1. I like Final Crisis for what it tried to do but I think that its execution was not the best. Not to mention that it was necessary to read most of the tie-ins to understand what was happening.

      I thought that Morrison did a better job at creating a good event in Seven Soldiers of Victory.
