Description

Packed with 100+ inventive groupings, hierarchies, and infographics, The DC Comics Book of Lists offers a creative way of looking at both the well-known and obscure histories of the top heroes and villains from the DC Universe across 80+ years. Each entry in this book celebrates another corner of DC's past, present, and future. It revels in the rich tapestry of DC's characters and history. Or histories, for that matter. Each first meeting of Batman and Superman is listed, as are highlights of Hawkman's many reincarnations and Jimmy Olsen's transformations. The craziest things Harley Quinn has ever done? They're ranked. The DC Comics Book of Lists also lists the many alternate futures of DC, from Kingdom Come to the Great Disaster, and each of the Legion of Super-Heroes reboots (presented as a handy flow chart to account for Time Trapper's Pocket Universe, the Five Years Later era, and the Geoff Johns era "retroboot"). Illustrated with full-color comic book art throughout, each page of The DC Book of Lists presents a new discovery or way of looking at cherished characters.
