Before the series (known by the geeks who follow this sort of thing simply as Crisis), different religions were considered to occupy different earths within a multiverse. The most important Earths were given names, like Earth-One (home of the Silver Age gods of Ancient Greece and Rome), Earth-Two (home of the Golden Age Norse and Egyptian gods), Earth-Islam, Earth-Jew, Earth-Hindu and various others, including the ever popular Earth-Spaghetti. Pope: What do you mean you're killing Jesus off?

  • Before the series (known by the geeks who follow this sort of thing simply as Crisis), different religions were considered to occupy different earths within a multiverse. The most important Earths were given names, like Earth-One (home of the Silver Age gods of Ancient Greece and Rome), Earth-Two (home of the Golden Age Norse and Egyptian gods), Earth-Islam, Earth-Jew, Earth-Hindu and various others, including the ever popular Earth-Spaghetti. Unfortunately the contradictions and inconsistencies between the parallel Earths began to be confusing for people new to religion. Is Jerusalem supposed to be the promised land for Jews, Christians, Muslims, or Scientologists? Why is God such a bad-ass mofo on Earth-Jew and such a liberal pussy on Earth-Bahai? Are Earth-Catholic and Earth-Protestant different earths, and if so what the heck is Earth-Christian? And what the fuck is up with Earth-Agnostic, anyway? These disputes over religious canon had a tendency to descend into crusades, fatwas and grisly internet flamewars, a situation that the religious leaders of the world eventually decided was untenable. DC Comics, the genius creators of such timeless superheroes as Batman, Superman and Captain Obvious, had enjoyed previous success in religious publication with their at-the-time contentious but now well loved New Testament: Pope: What do you mean you're killing Jesus off? Sure enough, the New Testament became one of the best-selling religious books of all time. Given this past success, DC Comics were a natural choice to come in and script Crisis.
