Based on what Scott Snyder said on Substack, there doesn't appear to be any plans to bring back pre-Crisis Earth-2 since DC wants to focus on its Prime Earth continuity. However, the success of the Absolute line could still open the door for DC to consider doing more stories set in the multiverse.

Maybe I need to move to Ireland. It’ll make hanging out with @fetishcigarbear.bsky.social easier, plus make it easier to grow my Substack. www.businessinsider.com/ireland-basi...
Ireland plans to make a $1,500 a month basic income for artists permanent
Ireland's Basic Income for the Arts experiment has given creatives a weekly payment for three years. Now, a permanent program could be on the way.

Has James Gunn’s Superman made it easier for you to enjoy Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel?

I’m still questioning the logic of ending this latest iteration of Marvel’s Ultimate Universe when it’s consistently a top seller every month. The stories exceeded expectations each time with room for more.

"As an arc opener, and an event tie-in no less, Justice League Unlimited #12 stands as a surprisingly poignant character-oriented tale."

Read @filthygrrls.bsky.social & @ericaschultz42.bsky.social's review:
‘Justice League Unlimited’ #12 is a meditative calm before the storm
Time-displaced Leaguers take center stage in a melancholy arc opener.

Yeah, I think it would have faired better if it simply documented DC’s canonical history as it originally happened. Then the broad strokes approach would have gone down more smoothly. Great artwork, though.

How did Marvel settle on the Ultimate Universe's name for its 2024 reboot? By the power of Jonathan Hickman's pitching skills
www.thepopverse.com/comics-marve...
Marvel’s Ultimate Universe nearly had another name - or one of 40 other names, per the company’s president
Marvel Comics’ breakout hit revival of the Ultimate Universe was nearly not the Ultimate Universe because the name made Dan Buckley “really nervous.”

Whelp. I got rejected for the London positions at The Guardian. Maybe I'll have better luck with the New York positions? 👀

Valnet unfortunately let go of the entire TheGamer features team today alongside several other staff members.

Many incredibly talented and hard working writers I've had the pleasure of working with over the past several years.

"New History of the DC Universe covers the post-Flashpoint era with issue #4, but confirms the biggest problem that is preventing DC from truly moving forward as a brand."

Pretty much. I’m not feeling hopeful voting Democrat in 2026 is going to lead to a harder pushback against MAGA Republicans if they’re not exercising their constitutional rights *right* now. I get *needing* to preserve the rule of law, but I also don’t think we can afford one more year of Trump.

That moment when I’m in the mood for horror, but I opt to write my own instead. The first story for my Nightmare Theatre horror anthology will post this week! 👀

PRO TIP

It doesn't matter how many awards you're nominated for. It doesn't matter how many you win. It doesn't matter what your name, sales record, or publishing history is.

If you act like an entitled bully to your peers, your opportunities will disappear real fast.

That moment when you buy a new pocket knife, but the blade is stuck to the point where you can't push the lock down to close it. Yeah... I'm not going to risk cutting my fingers off forcing it closed, given the size of the blade. (Yeah, this thing is huge, lol.) 🥴

This is a great concept, a book that chronicles the character’s different eras of stories.

Unlike encyclopedias, where they lay out all the trivia and facts, a guidebook that actually describes each individual era gives you insight into the significant stories they had in a particular era.
