Message: <blockquote data-quote="Viking Bastard" data-source="post: 1235313" data-attributes="member: 509">Nitpick: Mark Waid wrote Kingdom Come and the Kingdom, not Kurt Busiek..As to biggest mistake, Byrne's WW all the way. *Ick!* At least the Clone Sagaand Emerald Twilight had *some* interesting concept behind 'em, even if the execution of both sucked monkey's arse, but c'mon! That was just *LAME*!!.Moving on to Hypertime...Hypertime is more complex than that though, I once went to a lecture by Grant Morrison where he, among other things, explained what the whole Hypertime thing is (he designed the concept, I believe it was originally created for his and Mark Waid's Superman Revamp that DC editorial shelved in the last minute). Now, damned if I can explain it, but it sounded really kewl. He showed us how the DCU was connected to Marvel, non-DCU Vertigo series, Wildstorm, James Bond... the whole shebang. And it all makes perfect sense. The timelines are in constant flux (which explains continuity errors and sloppy retcons) and 'seed' each other with concepts and ideas. For instance, the main Wildstorm timeline is directly between the DCU and Marvel 616 universes, creating the endless supply of analogues for heroes and villains of other worlds in WS continuity.Now, if I could just remember half of it, it was so high-concept-y. The closest explaination I've found is by Warren Ellis. But this is just the surface of the whole thingy.I love that guy, Grant. Now, if DC would just see the light and let him do his whole Hypertime maxiseries so we can finally get a good explaination in print,I'd be thrilled</blockquote>
