Can't say I'm completely sure about this one. Very Morrisoney but still a fun read. Prepare for confusion, as always.

Grant Morrison’s long-awaited Multiversity series is nine extra-long issues of a Crisis-like event that threatens to destroy DC’s 52 universes that make up the Multiverse. Besides Ivan Reis who draws the two issues that bookend the series, each issue is drawn by a different artist: The Society of Super-Heroes = Chris Sprouse, The Just = Ben Oliver, Pax Americana = Frank Quitely, Thunderworld Adventures = Cameron Stewart, The Multiversity Guidebook = Marcus To (mainly - there are contributions fr...

Originally reviewed at Bookwraiths.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 v...

and with this review, I can at long last put this graphic novel to bed! it was a memorable relationship, one with a lot of sweet love, some interesting experimentation, and sadly a bit of ok-let's-just-get-this-over-with. this was an intense, sometimes frustrating, sometimes exhausting, but often very exciting experience. it left me tired, but mainly in a good way.there is so much brilliance between Multiversity's covers, so many fascinating ideas and cheeky asides and enjoyable art (especially

"This is not a comic book."Whatever it is, I enjoyed the Multiversity. If I can give you some advice to enjoy it: let go. I was trying to apply logic to the narrative and the events like any ordinary adventure story. But nope. Just be entertained. And I'll explain why.Morrison doesn’t care about your understanding, about linear narratives, about the ordinary adventure story. But he does care about you, about entertaining and enlightening you. The Multiversity, for me, is greatly entertaining. I

Although not Grant Morrison's finest work ever (the comparative Seven Soldiers comes to mind, similar but even better), Multiversity is infinitely finer than anything else in superhero comics today and definitely deserves five stars.Years in the making, it kind of reads like a crossover but it stands alone. That in itself is very refreshing. Hypothetically DC could use all these other Earths in the future, but unfortunately Grant Morrison's track record shows that after he's done with a brillian...

Great all around art with an A-list artist taking on each issue. As with most of Grant Morrison's work, it's confusing in places. I have to say I enjoyed the stand alone stories more than the overarching storyline, especially since the first several issues barely even mention it.

(Received from Netgalley for review.)So. This is a thing that happened, and I read it. That could probably be my capsule review for something like 65% of Morrison's work, and it would likely be a fairly valid review. I have respect for Morrison as a creator who isn't afraid to think big, and this is pretty damn big. I also feel a certain level of frustration for his work, as he regularly has ideas that are too big for him to convey effectively. This is maybe one of them, a story so big that it s...

"Who dares get in OUR way? What power triumphs over sheer ABSURDITY?" Truer words were never spoken, Captain Carrot.

A good example of my complicated admiration for Grant Morrison – parts of this were brilliant, other parts I wasn’t sure about and other parts were just weird.Well, let me say, it’s all brilliant, Morrison really is an important creator in the comic universe – some of this I liked more than other parts.REALLY COOL – his descriptions of the various Earths like Earth -3, Earth – 7, etc. We see different Batmans, Supermen, diverse alternate universes with divergent backstories and histories. COOL B...

The Gentry are encroaching on the Multiverse and Nix Uotan, last of the Monitors, must assemble a force of the mightiest beings of the 52 worlds to stop them!Okay, that's the bare bones of the plot but it's hard to write a teaser for this level of insanity.Grant Morrison and I don't have the best track record. I loved All-Star Superman but Final Crisis did nothing for me. I either wind up loving their work or not knowing what the fuck is going on. The Multiversity is some crazy shit but it's coh...

I thoroughly enjoyed this entire series!Yes, possibly confusing and potentially disjointed, I'm not sure it was intended to be smooth and consistent. Intended to be a possible launching point for several stories (Multiverses!) it revisits many older ones and hints are ones we may have suspected but...well, didn't. (We all suspected The Watchmen - being a Vertigo title - could have been a DC alternate. Dr. Manhatten could have been a Superman alternative. Our visitation to Pax Americana confirms

Finally taking proper time and research to re-read Multiversity, I can't help but be completely mesmerised by what Morrison did here. Multiversity is, in a lot of ways, a culmination of everything they did at DC since the 80's. And I mean everything — seeds of Multiversity can be seen as far back as their 1988 run of Animal Man, and most of their other work gets tied into this mega-event at least thematically, if not plot-wise. It's amazing, and the amount of plotting, structuring and actual eng...

#HotGloriousMess. That's the only tag-line I can think to describe this sprawling epic by legendary comics scribe Grant Morrison; I found this book hypnotic and engaging, and I was quite literally unable to put it down until I completed it.This "event series" was in large part the finale of the "Crisis" saga (Which, for the purposes of brevity and sanity, I'm not going to attempt to recap), and the precursor of the "Convergence" event that DC published in early 2015. In a nutshell, the DC Univer...

As part of my 2017 rereading list, The Multiversity by Grant Morrison is an ambitious project that is really worth a second read. With the recent events in DC's Rebirth era, this book becomes an even more relevant (yet still an unnecessary) read for DC comics fans.The Multiversity is a series of mostly one-shots whose stories can stand alone, almost independent tales from different worlds covered by an overarching plot that some evil called the Gentry (and (view spoiler)[ultimately, the Empty Ha...

Just could NOT force any more of this Morrison crapfest down my throat. It's just paint by numbers plot and not very interesting, other than trying to keep track of characters, and that gets annoying, not fun. Too meta, self aware, whatever, just not going to pole any further into it, and I think I'm about done with GM for a long while now...

I read somewhere that Grant Morrison looks upon the "Pax Americana" chapter of this book as his "Citizen Kane".... After reading "Multiversity", all I can think is, "wow, what an insult to Orson Wells".Multiversity is a frustratingly incoherent mess of a comic book. There are very few moments of cogency, and even when those few moments are upon the reader, they are so random and disconnected from everything else that it is virtually impossible to gleam any meaning from them. It is exactly what w...

If you know anything about Grant Morrison, is the complex ways of how he expresses his love for the long history of DC Comics, from his legendary seven-year run on Batman (in which the writer took every aspect of the caped crusader’s seventy-five-yearlong history and made it one man’s life) to Final Crisis (which took seven issues of a convoluted narrative to tell a simple message). With his latest DC creation, Morrison presents arguably his most ambitious project that branches through the DC mu...

This is a really cool experiment which kind of works! He didn't start anything here, he just connected the whole DC universe for fun. Many people here ask if this was necesary? I don't know but I am glad I bought this book.The story is good. (yes something can just be good). He was so into the ambitious concepting of this project that the rest was just scuffolding to support all this build up, even if that big premise at the end, does not tell us anything we don't allready know about ourselves a...
