Geek alert.

Twenty years ago DC Comics launched the Crisis on Infinite Earths [Wikipedia, trade paperback], a universal reboot that eliminated the multiverse from DC continuity. Today they launched the sequel, Infinite Crisis, which to all appearances SPOILER - HIGHLIGHT TO READ looks to be bringing the multiverse back. Picking up on threads left over from the last several months of build-up (as well as several threads left over from the original Crisis), this is shaping up to be a huge comics event. I read the first issue today and I was pretty impressed with what I saw, particularly the big reveal on the last page. I'll definitely be picking up the remaining six issues.

Want a a primer on the ins and outs of obscure DC continuity before you buy IC #1? All this I can truly deliver.
