So I'm currently reading through multiversity again and I reached the Pax chapter. I figured I'd post the chronological edition I saved back when the issue first came out in 2015 (I think?)
Enjoy :) I'll be reading along with you.
Remember to bump.

Great idea, anon.

Man, Harley's like a super-intelligent and well-meaning George Bush. It's sort of freaky.

Damn I love this page >>89805723
I'm just making a coffee. Back in 2 minutes guys.

I didn't make this, another Anon did around the time Pax Americana came out.
I just saved it because I figured it's nice to read in order.

>/co/ is so stupid that needs help reading a simple comic
I really hate how pleb friendly this board is. We already are known as the dumbest board in 4cham do we really need to help said fame?
>>
>>89805856
That's just your opinion man. If you don't like it you can always just do something else rather than enter the thread.
>>
>>89805952
And we've reached the half way point. I hope you're all enjoying this.

He *is* a really weird amalgam of presidential features. He's like Kennedy Bush-Reagan.

What a good issue. i hope we see more of these guys.

9 more pages to go Fellas
I've got the rest of the physical trade of multiversity to fnish rereading, and them onto Batman earth 1: vol 2 to start for the first time.
Is vol 2 good? I liked vol 1.
>>
>>89806080
You know, in the context of Multiversity, the President *is* right. Adam eventually returns from the House of Heroes (Like the black Superman) and presumably puts everything to right.
>>
>>89805662
thanks, I've been meaning to read it chronologically
>>
Holy shit I thought this was only 34 pages, we still got another 7 to go!

Onto page 35 :)

The end
A story about a president who would resurrect and become a messiah to save the world.

I think I liked the original reading order better
thanks though OP!

>President Dad feels bad that he killed Super Grandfather

>President Dad hires White Jax to clean up the loose ends of Manhattan/Dad plan
>We're supposed to assume that Captain Manhattan is coming back?
Ok, am I dense and not "getting it" or is it just this simple.
>>89806259
Do White Jax and The Comedian not know each other? How deep is the irony supposed to be in this page? They both work for President D(e)ad right?

Young Harley then uses this formula to become president Harley.
His plan is to get peacemaker to kill him in front of the world so that he dies; and then have Captain Adam revive him so he comes back from the dead and can be revered as a messiah for the world to rally around.
Basically, president Harley wanted to become President Jesus Christ. He asked Peacemaker to kill him and then asked Captain Adam to revive him.
However the gentry infected this world, they used Sarge steel (metal hand guy ) and the greedy vice president to stop this happening.

>However the gentry infected this world, they used Sarge steel (metal hand guy ) and the greedy vice president to stop this happening.
Ok. Thank fucking god. I could tell there was something more sinister that I wasn't picking up on.
Is there anything that links Sarge/VP to the gentry specifically or is it just the only reasonable conclusion given the context within Multiversity? I honestly can't tell what differentiates their actions and motivations from those of Atom and Harley since the entire point of the issue seemed to be "fate" and loops.
>>
>>89806759
This page for Sarge Steel >>89806033
And as for the Vice president, he might just be an unwitting pawn of the Gentry rather than an active agent. Maybe Sarge Steel controls the board as Vic Sage asks here >>89806157
The Gentry are using Sarge steel to manipulate the situation to their favor.
>>
>>89806796
I can definitely see "they" as the Gentry in panel 5.
I think I was confused because Atom/Harley's plan was never really made explicit and so it just seemed like *all* of the mysterious stuff in the issue was the result of their plan.
It definitely makes sense now, the implied escalation of Atom's role from "he can't even rebuild a dog" up to "he rebuilds the towers" concluding with "he resurrects the president."
I had a completely backwards analysis going where the VP and the Harley were on the same team and the "end of superheroes" was some kind of statement about disarmament being necessary for world peace and etc etc.
>>
>>89806879
Like most of Grant's stuff; it's confusing as fuck and requires multiple reads.

So, did Captain Atom really die?

>>89806685
My theory is that the 'algorithm' at least partially involves an understanding that their reality is ordered along an 8 panel grid. Hence the '8' ring he wears when assassinated and the 8 related imagery throughout the book
>>
>>89807466
> 8 as infinity as a mobius strip
not merely an 8-panel grid, but an 8-panel pattern, or song, that repeats itself forwards and backwards through infinity, simultaneously the cause and effect of itself. It fits in nicely with Invisibles and Final Crisis.
I don't have time to analyze the Spengler connection other than to say that in addition to the "society as superorganism" concept, he believed history was cyclical too.

>>89808027
Also,
>7 tie-ins, plus Multiversity framing device
>Seven Soldiers of Victory, plus "secret" 8th member
8 as an "escalation of the perfection of 7" pops up a few times in Morrison's work.
>>
Also Nix owes his landlord 800 dollars. final post about "8," I swear.
>>
>>89806188
RIP in fucking pieces.
Thanks for the storytime, OP.
