Magic Goes Wrong In The DC Universe (Dark Crisis Spoilers)

In a recent look at the Flashpoint Beyond #5 preview, we noted that some of our Dark Crisis gossip previously posted was seemingly coming to fruition. But there is more besides.

We had previously gossiped that "There is something wrong with magic. But that may have to wait for the next event. A magical crisis?" And the introduction pages to Dark Crisis #5 seem to see that play out. Rather than the play above play out – though it is rather good.

We had also stated "The Great Darkness wants nothing. It just is. But it may be being manipulated." And that "When Alexander Luthor manipulated the Multiverse during the Infinite Crisis, the Post-Zero Hour future appeared as alternate Earth-247. And now it's back. Talking of whom… There are two Swamp Things. But one remembers a previous Crisis crossover. Time to read your old Alan Moore/Steve Bissette/Rick Veitch/John Totleben Swamp Things, especially the Crisis bits. Probably before Dark Crisis #4 and The Deadly Green #1. And we rang these panels from way back when.

And in the new Dark Crisis? It all seems to be coming into play… Flashpoint Beyond #5 and Dark Crisis On Infinite Earths #4 are both out tomorrow.
