Patterns

Okay, so today I noticed something that I probably am not the first one to notice, but here goes nothing. We'll call it the Crisis Paradox, because I like to think of myself as a scientist of sorts.

So let's look at DC's different mega-events over the years, shall we? First, we had the different

Crises on Multiple Earths

Which were followed by probably the most well-known DC event, and maybe comics event of the last 30 years

Crisis on Infinite Earths

Which, almost 20 years later, was followed by a cascade of events inspired of it:

Identity Crisis,
Countdown to Infinite Crisis,
and Infinite Crisis

After which, DC had the great idea to start weekly series that would lead absolutely nowhere at all, except for much more money in DC's bank account:

52

And its newly-launched sequel

Countdown

Now, does anyone see a pattern here? I don't know, something with Countdown, Infinite and Crisis repeating itself over and over again? Would the so-called Infinite Crisis be just that, DC churning out Crises over and over again until the whole world has been shot into poverty?

Obviously, in 51 weeks, DC will launch a new crisis. The bet now, to test the Crisis Paradox, is to correctly guess the name of the new crisis. Here are my contenders, feel free to add your own.

Crisis on 52 Earths,
3, 2, 1... Crisis!,
and, my personal favorite: Open up this book to see which third-tier characters we've killed THIS time! Plus: One important character will also die to make this incomprehensible clusterfuck seem VERY important!

Aaaaand that's all for today. As usual, you get the promise of new blogging in the near future, if I finaly get around to actually scaning something. Check often!!!
