In June DC will launch Dark Crisis: Young Justice #1, a six-issue limited series that takes place concurrent with the events of Dark Crisis, and The Flash #783 begins a three-issue story arc that also takes place during the main storyline, the only ongoing series (so far) to do so. Then after Dark Crisis concludes, the bubble will pop, and the present-day DCU can catch up to it from a continuity standpoint, and whatever ramifications it holds for the future can begin to be reflected in the pages of the ongoing series without actually being disrupted by the game-changing deaths.ĭark Crisis: Worlds Without a Justice League - Superman #1 (Image credit: DC) What seems like the likely scenario that the events of Dark Crisis will take place in the immediate future, but will mostly be contained from a continuity standpoint within a bubble - meaning in its own pages and in the pages of tie-ins, whereas life goes on as normal in the "present" for most of the dead characters. The philosophy of the Omniverse is that everything that's published in a DC comic story can be considered in continuity for creators to pick and choose from. Recently, the publisher introduced the concept of the 'Omniverse,' a fix for all continuity issues since the Crisis on Infinite Earths began unraveling DC's timeline years ago. We know Justice League #75 will come out April 26 in our world, but when does it happen in the DCU? As we've previously reported, while the history of the DCU is now canonically quite fluid, it appears Dark Crisis takes place "a bit in the future of the DCU." But what does that mean? Which leads us to our next question: Who will kill the Justice League? The mad Pariah wants to destroy Earth-0 (otherwise known as Earth-Prime or the main DCU Earth) in his quest for rebirth and vengeance. Pariah is using the Great Darkness as a weapon to bring his Multiverse - now dubbed Multiverse-2 in the new, greater DC Omniverse - back from obliteration. As if awakening the Anti-Monitor in 1985 wasn't already enough, it will be the Marv Wolfman/George Pérez-created villain that puts together the team to finally take down the Justice Justice. In fact, it's one of the main players of Crisis on Infinite Earths that gets the whole shebang started the cosmic mad scientist Pariah. In short, it looks as though Dark Crisis will be pulling from three decades of DC Comics history, from the classic Crisis on Infinite Earths to the very recent Infinite Frontier (written by Williamson) and much more in between.
The simple answer to this is, well, everything.ĭC calls Dark Crisis an ' event 30 years in the making,' and Williamson says the concept of killing the Justice League is at least partially inspired by 1992's ' Death of Superman' story.
