Marvel produced classics like Elektra: Assassin and “Born Again.” However, it was DC that really shook up the industry. It’s a glorious oddity, a remarkable and messy piece of blockbuster pop art that honors an important chapter in its characters’ history.Ĭomic book historian Peter Sanderson has described 1986 as “the annus mirabilis of comics.” It was a revolutionary year for the medium. It is a nine-hour metatextual journey through a troubled era for the industry and the characters that inhabited it, beginning with darkness and ending in redemption. Zack Snyder’s DC Extended Universe offers a pocket history of a notable stretch of American comic book history, running roughly from Crisis on Infinite Earths in 1985 through to Final Crisis in 2008.
