Guide to DC Elseworlds, Infinite Earths, & Alternate Realities (Early Access for Crushing Comics Club members)

I'm excited to share this peculiar guide with you as I continue to work through its final draft. Knowing you could be reading it at any given moment will inspire me to make a few final decisions on its formatting and content.

The Complete Guide to DC Elseworlds, Infinite Earths, & Alternate Realities 

Log in to CK to access this guide. Leave a comment if you do not have access to your CK login and I'm happy to help! This guide is currently planned for release to the general public release a week from today, on Tuesday April 25th.

This is a peculiar guide that I haven't been entirely sure I'm actually making even as late as this past weekend, but now that I've made it I'm happy I did. Truthfully, I should have made the Marvel equivalent of this page years ago.

This guide started as two different pages. One page was for DC Elseworlds titles, of which there are many. And another for DC's major Alternate Earths, where I could stash things like the Earth One graphic novels and the New 52 Era Earth 2 series. 

As I continued to rough out other guides I kept finding new material that fit well onto both pages - DC inter-company crossovers could go on Elseworlds, and collections of classic DC Earth Two stories belonged on Alternate Earths.

After a number of debates about which material belonged on which page (e.g., "Where should cohesive alternate realities like Injustice go?") I realized I was actually working on a single, massive page for all of DC's tales outside of their main reality.

Right now that includes the following completed categories, though I'm still adding links and formatting in some of them:

• Alternate Earths
• Elseworlds
• Inter-Company Crossovers
• Video Game Tie-Ins

The guide also has space for the following two categories, which I'll continue to outline and fill in over the next few days:

• TV/Film Tie-Ins
• Standalone Stories

In my push to finish this guide I realized it's the sort of guide that can never really be finished. That's because there will always be more random out-of-continuity tales to track down that I will continue to discover as I work on further DC guides.

That's why I'm sharing this page with you tonight. Sometimes shipped is better than perfect, and in shipping this out to you I'm drawing a line across what I think I'll really complete in time to release it to the public next week.

Why such a sudden release? Because my current trio of three public releases all have a "universal" theme - that's the DC Universe Events Guide  (public today!), this Elseworlds & Alternate Earths guide next week, and...

...the last one you'll get to see sometime between Thursday and Sunday when I share it with for your early access! Here's a hint: the final "universal" guide will be going public on May 4th.
