You Won’t Believe What Happens Next

Matthew: maybe I say this because people keep using the word crisis all the time

but I just had this thought “you know, it kinda feels like the United States is in the middle of a big crossover event right now”

Sean: god help us!

but you’re right

Matthew: it’s that “everything at once” feeling

Sean: it’s the Final Crisis model where you’ve got the main thing, which is the election, and then all these tie-ins

Matthew: “nothing will be the same again!”

Sean: Financial Crisis

Rage of the Red Staters

Matthew: Rove’s Revenge

Sean: Palin of 3 Worlds

Matthew: Obama Beyond In 3D

Sean: LOL

YES

Matthew: McCain R.I.P.

Sean: Right now he’s the McCain of Zur-En-Arrh

running around in a costume made of garbage bags, hitting the Senate Majority leader with a baseball bat

“YOU’RE WRONG! MCCAIN AND PALIN WILL NEVER DIE!”

Matthew: who is the Barry Allen of this?

Sean: Dave Letterman

Matthew: in an interstellar burst, Dave is back to save the universe

ha, in retrospect, the run-up to all this was very much like Countdown To Final Crisis, wasn’t it?

Sean: Hillary, Mittens, and Rudy are no longer canon

Matthew: Hillary got killed off like four times in a row

and somehow they had to write out the part where Dennis Kucinich in a turtle costume single-handedly defeated McCain

Sean: costume?

Matthew: wasn’t Jimmy Olsen Turtle Boy or something when that happened?

Sean: no, I meant Dennis Kucinich is turtley enough as it is

Matthew: snap

    Strangely enough, a friend and I were IMing about FINANCIAL CRISIS this morning as well. I couldn’t quite stick the landing on the “Superboy punching the Source Wall/Wall Street” joke.

  2. James Kang says:

    Hilarious. And hugely nerdy. I love it.

  3. Later in the conversation we realized the whole thing kicked off with the immolation of J’onn Ed’wardzz.

  4. Jim Treacher says:

    I especially like the retconning of Obama’s origin.

  5. Every time I try to get into Palin I end up thinking “this is completely incomprehensible.”

  6. Jim D. says:

    I’m not reading the current crossovers, but since Grant Morrison is writing one of them: maybe INVISIBLES-style time-bending could explain how Palin was simultaneously for and against the Bridge to Nowhere?

    The woman’s wearing a Fiction-Suit, that’s for sure.
