Maybe Superman Beyond! 3-D is coming out of chronological order due to the effect on Darkseid’s fall on time? …or a DC shipping mix-up. Who knows?

As always Andrew, awesome analysis. I just finished FC#6 and it made me want to go back and read Seven Soldiers. I think you’re dead-on about Mr. Miracle being a true prequel to FC. Also, the Batman stuff is great.

On an aside, I was quite surprised at how much I enjoyed the Prometheus one-shot that just came out. Prometheus was one of my favorite villains of Grant’s in his JLA. The new scribe does a good job picking up the ball and establishing Prometheus as the anti-Batman and a rather terrifying one at that. If you get a chance I think it is worth a read. I hope someone can pick up on the character and make something interesting out of him.

Anyway, killer stuff here.

Best,
J-Unit 1

Well, this is very excellent. It is actually called Superman Beyond! 3-D; I think the exclamation point is tres importante – also judging by the previews of it and FC#6 we will be getting them in reverse chronological order but not to worry.

Planning to reread Seven Soldiers followed by Final Crisis once the latter has done its thang.

You’re right about Morrison’s work being preoccupied with entropy, but I hadn’t picked up on the gravity theme in Seven Soldiers. Clearly I need to give it another try.
