Crisis on Infinite Earths #1

[history79]

"While writing Green Lantern I received a letter from a fan asking about a mixup in DC continuity. In my reply I said, “One day we (meaning the DC editorial we) will probably straighten up what is in the DC Universe ... and what is outside.” At this point in its history DC Comics had Earth-One, Earth-Two, Earth-Three, Earth-B, etc. There were super-heroes on each Earth and though old-time readers had no problem understanding DC continuity, it proved off-putting to new readers who suddenly discovered there was not one but three Supermans, Wonder Womans, Batmans, etc."

I do like the E-3 luthor death (and really, this is not Lois Lane, this is E-3 Lois Lane). It is clearly a parallel to Superman's origin using a version of one of his most iconic nemesis. It subtle says something interesting: that Luthor, had he used his intelect and resources for good, would have been as much as a brilliant scientist as Jor-El. and that's a parallel i wish more works used rather than him and Superman.
