    Terrific job as always Linkara :)

    By the way, I've always wondered: is it me or are there a lot of "Crisis" comic series? Final Crisis, Crisis on Infinite Earths, Countdown to Final/Countdown to Infinite Crises, Identity Crisis... were these all interrelated or is it just rather bad marketing? :p

  • Citizen Kiryu  - Related? Meh...

    Really it's kind of a combination of both interrelation and bad marketing. Personally, I only really consider Crisis on Infinite Earths and Infinite Crisis truly related (Final Crisis? well...that's only related to LSD). Identity Crisis is totally unrelated and was likely just titled as a "Crisis" to move issues. Crisis on Infinite Earths was so good that the designation of "Crisis" came to really mean something (at least, it used to) in the DCU. Zero Hour (subtitled Crisis in Time) tried to use the term to piggyback onto the train and sell some books. Identity Crisis was a good enough story (so long as you ignore giant continuity problems and heroes acting like douches), but wasn't related. Infinite Crisis was incredible and a worthwhile sequel. And Final Crisis was kind of pointless and hard to follow.

    Sorry. Rant over. All I really meant to say was, yeah, some are related and some are just the product of gimmick marketing.

    We don't talk about that around these parts.

    It's like cth*lu, if you call it, it will come.

    How is it that Batman brought up a Marvel event? Wait I'll answer my own question. Batman is just that awesome. That and he is the World's greatest detective.

    "SHADDAP!"

    Oh, that was a good one. THough, I'll just take the time to ask...do you take offers for bad comics?

  • Linkara

    I do indeed.

    Well, in that case...when can we expect a review of Prez?

    :D

    Unlike those other event books mentioned, Crisis on Infinite Earths was actually fairly good.

    52 was awesome, though.

    Great CI5P as usual, Linkara :D

    Btw, what was the name of the song you used in it? :x I remember it from the TGWTG 1 Year Anniversary battle, but could never find it online.

    Fun but I thought it was going to be a full review.

    Reminded me of the "What have the Romans done for us sketch?"

    Fantastic

  • NowCompleteWith  - Exactly!

    Just when the freakin DCU gets itself together. IT GOES RIGHT BACK INTO LUDICROUS SPEED! Seriously, that video does not even mention what's happening with Darkest Night, and how everything will once again be changed in the DCU! WHITE LANTERNS MAN! ONCE WE GET WHITE LANTERNS, EVERYTHING THAT CHANGED WILL BE CHANGED BACK, AND THE CYCLE WILL ONCE AGAIN REPEAT! Yeah, sorry, I lost it there, but these epic events will not stop any time soon. So it's a mute point, but boy does it bug me.

  • Scimmia  - Marvel and Disney?
    avatar

    Linkara, you should seriously post a video or an article about your thoughts on Disney buying Marvel.

    I have none.

    As great as this video is, I laughed more because the music gave me visions of Batman chasing Supergirl around with the Giant Hammer :D

  • ProfessorOtaku
    avatar

    And nothing of value was changed, despite being ground-breaking at the time. And then Final Crisis happened.

  • jonathanserrot
    avatar

    you should review "Trials of Shazam" i hear it's pretty damn awful

  • Doctor Impossible

    Nice video although does it really count as "in five panels" if you use the same five panels twenty times? ;)

    Slatefield: Strictly only Zero Hour, Infinite Crisis and Final Crisis count as real crises. That is, all of them involved blowing up reality and duct taping the pieces back together again. Everything else was just a big story (only blowing up boring things like planets, stars or something like that).

  • Sabadaba  - Still made me laugh.

    There were moments it got a little repetitive, but I especially loved "Secret Invasion?" "That's Marvel!"

    All right, peeps, let darkdri-- :unsure: ...that is, JimmydelaKopin :confused: edjermacate yall a bit on DC's Crises.

    The Crises started as special crossover events wherein DC takes the JLA to a parallel Earth where they have to solve some problem. Thus, each Crisis indicated where it took place: Crisis on Earth-Two, Crisis on Earth-Three, and so on.
    For their 50th anniversary, DC decided to create a mega-crossover...which also had the effect of trimming down the number of parallel Earths and number of heroes and villains to manageable numbers. This was supposed to be the last Crisis ever and was called Crisis on Infinite Earths (though it is a misnomer, since there were a few Earths that weren't involved even back when the maxiseries was made--Earth-C and Earth-C-Minus, for examples).
    That was supposed to be the end of it...but then Byrne rewrote Crisis's effect with his Superman stories...and from there it went crazy until, amazingly enough, the return of Superboy-alpha (who was retconned into being Superboy from Earth-Prime though he originally was not from Earth-Prime, as Earth-Prime was another parallel Earth not in CoIE).
    Seriously, peeps, if you want the full story on which worlds were involved and which weren't, get a copy of Eclipse's CoIE Index.
    Sad that Eclipse kept track of DC continuity better than DC did--or does, for that matter... :pinch:

    And we all know that there is no "Final" end to the Crises; it'll happen again. And again. And agai...

    I'm curious, what exactly is the name of the music being played during this bout? It's rather distinct!

  • ThatNinjaWithTheSand
    avatar

    Now that Disney owns Marvel, are we gonna have Spiderman/Bambi crossovers? Cuz that'd be pretty freaking sweet.
    Bambi: Humans killed my mother. :(
    Spidey: Some guy killed my uncle. :(
    (they cry in a corner)

    If DC doesn't stop these endless crossover events they might just get themselves into a Financial Crisis.

    If you take suggestions for bad comics, I recommend Marvel: Ruins. It's one of the most hilariously mean-spirited comics I've ever read.

    That was freaking fantastic.
