The world of DC comics
Friedenthal, Andrew J.

The world of DC comics[electronic resource] /Andrew J. Friedenthal. - New York, NY :Routledge,2019. - 1 online resource (ix, 108 p.) - Imaginary worlds.

A brief history of the multiverse -- The multiverse in crisis -- Cartographers of the multiverse -- Beyond the multiverse.

"The first sustained study of the DC Comics Multiverse, this book explores its history, meanings, and lasting influence. The multiverse is a unique exercise in world-building: a series of parallel and interactive worlds with a cohesive cosmology, developed by various creators over more than fifty years. In examining DC's unique worlds and characters, the book illustrates the expansive potential of a multiverse, full of characters, histories, geographies, religions, ethnographies, and more, and allowing for expressions of legacy, multiplicity, and play that have defined much of DC Comics' output. It shows how a multiverse can be a vital, energizing part of any imaginary world, and argues that students and creators of such worlds would do well to explore the implications and complexities of this world-building technique. Andrew J. Friedenthal has crafted a ground-breaking, engaging and thoughtful examination of the multiverse, of interest to scholars and enthusiasts of not just comics studies, but also the fields of media studies and imaginary world studies."--
