DC Comics Teases a New CRISIS
Is the comics publishing giant already looking to another universal-reboot?
As you DC Universe. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/the-big-picture/2568-Continanity]
Now, it appears it may be happening again: In an on Facebook, [http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/09/09/jim-lee-dan-didio-talk-dc-comics-past-present-and-futures-end?page=2] wondering aloud if it was time to "do it one better."
There have technically only been two "official" DCU-reshaping Crises: Crisis on Infinite Earths, which merged DC's Multiverse into a single timeline in 1985, and 2005's Infinite Crisis, which broke them up again. But other events like Final Crisis (despite the title, not technically considered a sequel to the earlier Crises) and Zero Hour have had similar effects. The current The Anti-Monitor [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/the-big-picture/4132-Continanity-Rebooted] was the secret true power behind recent grim events.
There has been official confirmation from DC as to what, if anything, is actually being hinted at; and no sense of what (if anything) about current or former continuity a third Crisis would be intended to do (or undo.)
