DC Comics Says Do Not Buy Grant Morrison's Multiversity – Even Though Doug Mahnke Is Drawing A Book

Running in a number of DC Comics titles today, is a teaser campaign for the upcoming Multiversity series.

Four double page spreads, showing 52 realities stacked on top of each other, and a blurred look at the front cover of the comic book on a desk next to a copy of Grant's Action Comics, Final Crisis and Justice League #1

Is this from the point of view of character who has escaped from the fictional world of the DC Universe? Or Multiverse? Superboy Prime? Psycho Pirate? It couldn't be the much-touted sentient DC Universe speaking cold it?

The "I see you" is rather reminiscent of Grant's Animal Man – and of course the Bryan Talbot issue of Brainstorm that Grant nicked it from!

Well that's us told… but will this anti-advertising work?

Okay, okay. I'll go buy Invincible instead. You've convinced me.

Oh and look. Doug Mahnke is drawing one of the Multiversity books. You read it here first!
