Entertaining Series -- Though It Has Its Problems By Wendell Short Version: A collection of fairly self-contained stories with an overarching plot that attempts to tie them all together. Some of the stories were good; some were bad. Overall, I liked The Multiversity, but the main story was a bit bizarre and a tad confusing — in other words, typical Grant Morrison.Long Version: Yet another ambitious DCU story focusing on the destruction of the Multiverse. This time the apocalypse is being orchestrated by a group of uber villains dubbed “The Gentry.” These guys’ devious plot is to insert a cursed comic book into every world, thereby causing a chain reaction which will ultimately lead to the total devastation of worlds!Naturally, when reality begins to unravel, the various heroes of all the different multiverse earths have to uncover what is causing the problems, unite in some way, and fight to keep everything from being destroyed in a Final Crisis! (Uh, didn’t Morrison already write about a Final Crisis? Okay. Guess this is another one.) Brawl-fests ensue thereafter.Like people who read my reviews know, I’m one of those on the fence about Grant Morrison. Honestly, I’ll read one story and be blown away by his mind-warping plot lines, but then I’ll read another and think it is a load of shite, which he has made obtuse and overly complex merely to hide its overall stench. And The Multiversity didn’t really change my view of Morrison in the least.Most of the issues in this series are decent, if not spectacular. The Multiversity #1 and #2 are the usual big event type stories with pages and pages of superheroes fighting villains. In between these bookend issues, there are one-shots stories; each set in a different world with a different set of heroes. In one, Morrison and Frank Quitely channeled their twenty-first century Watchmen, producing the highly anticipated ‘Pax Americana.’ In another the focus is on a world where crime has been eliminated and a celebrity culture of superheroes has grown up. The Society of Super-Heroes goes all retro in one issue; Captain Carrot and his Amazing Zoo Crew make an appearance; and there is even a Guidebook filled with details about the multiverse worlds.The only issue which really struck a nerve with me was the Grant Morrison-Jim Lee ‘Mastermen.’ Here Morrison tackles the question of “What if Superman had crashed in Nazi Germany and been raised by Hitler?” Naturally, Supes (now known as Overman) wins World War II for Hitler and eventually becomes the next Fuhrer of a Third Reich which rules the world. Only Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters still resist the Overman’s enlightened but totalitarian rule. Pretty straight forward but had some real strength to it.Now to be fair, there are much smarter comic reviewers out there saying the whole set up in The Multiversity has a deeper meaning. Its complexity meant to express a more important message. Specifically, Morrison is setting The Gentry up as the representative of intellectuals who are ruining comics and the character Nix Uotan as the adult bloggers/critics who are destroying the magical mayhem of comics by always seeking to make it more adult oriented and logical. I didn’t try to read that into the story, but it might be there, and perhaps it will make the series more meaningful to some of you. As for me, I’m reading to be entertained, not enlightened, so the whole “deeper meaning” stuff didn’t make me like this series any more or any less.The one thing I can rave about is the art. Each comic is drawn by a different artist, and every one of them does an excellent job. Ivan Reis, Chris Sprouse, Ben Oliver, Frank Quitely, Cameron Stewart, Marcus To, Jim Lee, and Doug Mahnke to name just a few. Each bringing their A game to The Multiversity, making it a real joy to keep turning the pages.So should you buy this collection? If you’re a Morrison fan, you don’t even need to ask the question, because you will undoubtedly love The Multiversity. If your not a Morrison fan, then don’t expect to have anything here change your feelings about his work. And if you’re on the fence about all this, what do you have to lose? Nothing. So pick this one up and dive in, because you might love one of the stories.

An Experimental Tour Through the DC Multiverse By David Swan Multiversity is another experimental comic series from Grant Morrison similar to what he did with Seven Soldiers of Victory. In the case of Seven Soldiers he produced seven four issue limited series that were loosely tied together with a common foe. Morrison offered these series as launching pads for DC to run with but none of them actually became continuing series as far as I know. From an artistic standpoint I would say Seven Soldiers was a success although I felt the ending didn’t live up to the buildup. The structure of Multiversity is different in that the seven storylines are all but a single issue long with two framing issues bookending the series.There are ups and downs in Multiversity but overall I consider it a great success. I would rank Pax Americana and Thunderworld Adventures as some of the greatest single issues I have ever read. Seriously. As an experiment in storytelling I found Ultra Comics absolutely riveting and Masterman was a bold stroke featuring a Nazi version of the Justice League. DC has experimented with alternate versions of heroes and villains for years but Morrison really gets creative and fun. I loved how he would tweak established characters or mix two characters into one. Anyone can modify an established character but Morrison does it as good as just about any writer and better than most. It doesn’t hurt that Morrison has some of the absolute best comic artists ever putting his thoughts into images. Multiversity also contains a lot of metaphysical storytelling which is nothing new for Morrison but in Multiversity he takes it to the extreme. When a character mentions Sandman another might ask if it’s a reference to Neil Gaimon’s Sandman. It’s in Ultra Comics where Morrison pulls out all the stops and attempts to put the reader INTO the comic as literally as he possibly can. It gets pretty trippy in a good way.So where does Multiversity fall short. For starters a lot of the single issues stories end on cliffhangers with no likely chance at a resolution. Mastermen builds to a conflict between the Nazi Justice League and the Freedom Fighters and just as the battle begins the story ends. ‘The Just’ and ‘The Society of Super-Heroes’ likewise end on cliffhangers. If the stories weren’t that great I might not care but I really want to know what happens. I had hoped that Multiversity would tie everything together in the final framing issue but it doesn’t.The two framing stories are, in my opinion, the weakest part of Multiversity. The have very little tying them to the seven single issues and are little more than a jumble of images and dialogue. I’ve read both issues at least three times and I couldn’t really say what happens. I did enjoy when they visited the Marvel Universe (obviously they had to change all the characters for copyright reasons but it’s pretty obvious who they are). Despite some issues there is enough awesomeness to earn my full five stars and as one commenter pointed out Morrison is planning on a follow up series in 2016 called Multiversity Too.

I've always found his base-level understanding of the comic medium astonishing, and have honestly never left a work of his confused. I've come away with a whole hell of a lot to think about, and have spent active thinking time sorting through his material outside of the singular act of the initial reading, but I've never felt burned by the grandiosity of his highly cerebral work. To each his own, and I know that a lot of comic readers walk away from a Morrison book frustrated and confused, and to them, I say stay the heck away from Multiversity. This book is not for you, and it is not the thing that will convert you. It is not a must-read for everyone, and you will be none the lesser for skipping it. To the other camp, that of the Morrison faithful, I whole-heartedly urge you you to read Multiversity and embrace it as the DC Bible.The grace and love with which this work has been crafted is apparent from the first page. Every artist on board hits a home run, re-imagining the tropes and designs of each and every DC icon, while meeting Morrison's demanding, dream-like script head-on, with brilliant design and panel-work. Multiversity is not plot-centric, nor is is character driven. In that way, it would e easy to rush off as a failure. But Multiversity thrives as something exceptionally larger than either of those two familiar narrative builds. Multiversity serves as the creation-myth, Bible, genesis and exodus of the DC multiverse. The detail is paid to the hourglass which contains each painfully notioned of the 52 DC universes. Every Earth, and each hero that comes within it, is laid out bare on the pages of the guidebook, and the other comics, which are read as maps and warnings by each of the other world's inhabitants.The single issues themselves each serve as a brilliant love-letter to some aspect of DC's history. From a bright eyed Captain Marvel, to the drear of a Watchmen styled landscape, or a Red Son inspired Nazi Superman, to a pulpy LoEG adventure, we explore a series of brilliant elseworlds, on our way through the meta-cosmic material which makes up the worlds in which we wish we lived.Truly, it's something that must be read to be understood. Some of the core ideas behind Seven Soldiers get bigger in the pages of Multiversity. I don't know that it's Morrison's greatest work, or his opus, but it IS the new holy text of the DC universe.
