Great Video, helpe me a lot, I've never been into comics, until about a month ago, i'm a huge Star Wars Fan and what made star wars so special was their Continuity, no reboots! until Disney bought it sigh. i was reading some Star Wars Books and heard Heir to the Empire was also a comic, so i started reading Star Wars Comics and wow are they good, they open up the universe so much! and i think that's why, even though i have tried mightily to read superhero comics(i like a few) but mostly i read Y-The Last Man, The Boys, Transmet, Walking Dead, invincible. Again Great Video and Thank You PS who could keep up with a character in DC? i tried reading all of the Animal Man appearences which are like 500 issues and even that was hard, 52 comics, new 52 reboot. I like to reada character that stays somewhat the same, Animal Man went nuts to where i couldn't even pick him out in a Issue unless his name was said.

How Marvel usually handles a continuity change:
Spiderman gets stuck under some rubble and wonders -O man how did I at end up like this! - Flashesback to a point in the back story that is familiar but slightly tweaked and slowly shows how those tweaks are relevent to the current story. Also everything that has ever happened and will happen has happened within the last 10 years even if it the issues came out 20 years ago. With the exception being if it took place in the 40's or 50's then that happened however long ago that was.
How DC handles a continuity change:
Burn it down. Burn it all down.

Great video! If I remember the history correctly, before the Jay Garrick/Barry Allen crossover issue, there's an issue of either The Flash or Green Lantern in which one of the characters is reading an old Flash (Jay Garrick) comic. What I understood is that the Garrick/Allen crossover was written to explain how that might happen--like, supposedly, artists on Earth-1 are subliminally inspired by real events on Earth-2. (This is something, though, that I learned from Scott Tipton's Comics 101 like 12 years ago. So I could be misremembering). The DC Multiverse is wonderful.

52 gave me the current Batwoman, New 52 reboot gave me a Batwoman solo run, and now Rebirth has given me Batwoman with a major role in the Batfamily AND another Batwoman solo run, so I'm fine with all of them (they are a lot easier to swallow when you only buy comics for three or four characters, and then those characters end up being kind of niche)

A well-worn lecture cycle that deserves to be redone every few years, to cover the new stuff, and refocus the old stuff based on who's popular at the moment.
And this looks like it's going to be a good one, too!

That statuette of the Super Best Friends version of Wonder Girl makes me sad that it never became a full series: . Looks cool, though! And this is an very concise, effective overview

Love this video. Can't wait for more! As someone who just got into comics in the last few months, it can still be pretty confusing if you don't have the history.

after a while you just kinda accept that nothing actually makes sense and that all your favorite characters have died at least once. embrace the chaos.

This is great! I'm glad to see a host who seems to really know their stuff and not just reading from a script. Keep up the good work!
