Since the departure of Dan Didio from DC Comics it has been officially stated by Jim Lee, who is currently the Publisher and Chief Creative Officer of DC Comics, that 5G will now be renamed Generation 5 and that the original plans for this new era in the continuity is being replaced with something that will be much more familiar to long time fans. In this episode, Obi and Jack talk about what the original plans were, why it was probably a bad idea, and what they think the best course of action is for the DC universe going forward.
Superman: Red Son is one of the most popular alternate-reality stories that DC ever published. Originally released as a three issue prestige format comic (Jun '03 – Aug '03), Red Son asked a simple question "what if Superman had been raised in the Soviet Union?". Just as other popular DC stories have made their way to animation over the years, Red Son has now received the same treatment. To celebrate this on MultiVersed, All Bad Jack and Obi Macaroni decided it would be fun to compare both the comic and the movie to see how and why they differ in another segment of Page vs. Screen. For anyone who hasn't read or watched either versions of Superman: Red Son, be warned that this episode contains many spoilers. The animated version of Superman: Red Son was released on February 25th, 2020.
In case you haven't heard already one of the co–publishers of DC Comics, Dan Didio, was fired last week, taking all of DC's employees by surprise. Was Didio really doing that bad of a job? Who will replace him? This has started a lot of talk among fans as to where the future of DC Comics is headed. One of the biggest rumors currently being that Marvel may either begin to publish or outright buy all of DC's characters. Would this be a good thing? Would they unite the two universes? How would that even work? All of these questions are discussed and more in this week's episode of MuliVersed!
In this week's episode All Bad Jack and Obi Macaroni talk about the recent events in DC Comics such as the teaser for Robert Pattinson's batsuit, All Bad Jack's feelings on the new Harley Quinn/Birds of Prey movie, the funeral of Alfred Pennyworth, the reactions of Superman's friends to his secret identity going public, the future of Wally West, and how most of DC's sidekicks eventually evolve into new original characters. It all starts here on this episode of MultiVersed!
It's 2020... How about some Pokemon talk!
Recently, Superman revealed that he is really Clark Kent to the world. What kind of repercussions could this have for the Man of Steel and his family and friends? Additionally in this episode...

In this episode Obi Macaroni and All Bad Jack discuss how the best teams are utilized and how other team dynamics could be improved on.
First appearances, first prints, comic book grades, tie-ins, long boxes, bags and boards... if you have ever considered collecting comic books you may have heard a few of these terms before. In this episode, Obi Macaroni and All Bad Jack exchange their stories and experiences as comic book collectors and give some advice to those who might be new to the hobby.
Joker, Venom, Suicide Squad, and now Morbius, the living vampire. Have villain movies become the new trend? Obi Macaroni and All Bad Jack discuss the possibility of the typical superhero genre becoming exhausted after its approximate twenty year long hype. Maybe we have now seen every style of superhero story that there is to tell. Maybe superhero films no longer have the momentum they once had. Are we, as the audience, becoming bored with the same formulaic tropes that the film industry has been feeding us over the last two decades? All of these topics and more are discussed in this episode of MultiVersed.
2020 is upon us, but 2019 can't go forgotten! The year that gave us both Endgame and Rise of Skywalker deserves a whole lot of refelction.
Following DC's New 52 came Rebirth, which meant there was no better time to start pumping out new number ones for every character and team. Among this new change up of writers, Tom King was handed the reins to Batman, one of DC's flagship characters. This seemed a wise choice as he was an up and coming writer who was gaining a pretty big following over the last couple years. Now Tom King's time on Batman has come to an end and there is a large divide in the reception of this entire volume. Between the fans of Batman, Tom King, and comics in general a controversial question seems to be buzzing around the internet: Was Tom King's run on Batman good? In this episode, All Bad Jack and Obi Macaroni answer that question.
This week Paul and Jay sit down to discuss Rise of Skywalker (and a lot of other random stuff). Come hangout and join the conversation with us!
