DC Comics has not used the phrase 5 gibibyte in public yet . First mention by Bleeding Cool last summeras a major project that DC Comics was planning , it was only when DC Comics publisherDan DiDiotalked about publishing a timeline for DC Comics shared persistence or ' connective tissue ' at San Diego , then unveiled the four generation of the DC timeline at New York Comic Con that Bleeding Cooltwiggedwhat 5 G refer to – the fifth generation – and also that itwas the corporate name of the storieswe were unveiling about DC Comics’plans for Superman , Batman and more , ageing the characters up and replacing them with new people taking their identities .
5 G was first mentioned in print as an aside inDoomsday Clock#12 – but then so were many other thing , let in a Secret Crisis crossover between Marvel Comics and DC Comics that is very unlikely to number to reach .
This weekend however , Diamond Comic Distributors observe 5 G onPreviewsworld in an article by Diamond employeeTroy - Jeffrey Allen . As the direct food market monopoly distributor of Marvel , DC , Image , Dark Horse , IDW , Boom , Dynamite and more , they are in a stiff position to know what is coming from the major publisher – and what they may want to set up for . This is what they published
DC Comics ’s 5 G Timeline ( TBA )
The hypothesis around DC ’s " 5 G " plan really kicked into high gear at 2019 ’s New York Comic Con . There , DC Comics editor program and co - publisher Dan Didio gave readers a glimpse at five generation ( or " 5 gee " ) of characters that make up a new DC timeline . But the biggest index number that the DCU had something major contrive come in the form of December’sDoomsday Clock # 12(OCT190524 ) .
Doomsday Clockwas touted early on as the book that would formally take the DC Hero into verbatim conflict with the characters of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’The Watchmen . By publication # 12 , Superman was duking it out with Dr. Manhattan – fulfil that serial goal in a major way . But Manhattan also provided reader with a look at the DCU ’s past tense and futurity . What we saw were smatterings of different key gunpoint in the publishing house ’s story and major events yet to hail – everything from Dr. Manhattan ’s involvement in the 2011Flashpointcrossover to a " Secret Crisis " in the year 2030 .
The conjecture continues . Stay tuned .
DiDio only give a coup d’oeil of four multiplication , not five . 5 G was the label that Bleeding Cool ascribed to what might keep up it , based on rumours and gossip that had come to us . This is the next best affair to a ratification until DC Comics get it so – whether Diamond meant it to be or not .
