Holy cow.

I leafed through this thing at Barnes & Noble earlier today, and it's got just about everybody from the DCU in it. From the biggest of the big guns, to the lamest of the lame, complete with a picture and historical bio. High-profile characters get more pages, of course, but there're a lot of characters in there that'll have you scratching your head and saying "WHO?" as well. That wraparound Alex Ross cover is pretty swank, too. I'd have bought it then and there, but that $40 cover price is an awfully big deterrent for poor old me. ...It'd make a nice Christmas gift, though; it's got "coffee table" appeal, even though I don't actually own a coffee table (or have room for one). Think I'll mention it to a few friends and family members.

Marvel should do this, instead of making me buy tons of volumes. So far I have three of the Marvel ones. Can't afford to keep going.

I've still got my Who's Who In The DC Universe. You mean this is better?

Y'mean these?

...

You'll probably get more up-to-date info out of this new book.

This isn't just post-Crisis?

Beats the hell outta me, man. I didn't buy the thing, I just flipped through it for a minute for two.

I really can't believe I paid money for the Who's Who back in the day. I swear, I'd buy anything when I was a kid.

This reminded me of the fact that I knew little about Crisis on Infinite Earths. So I read up about it. Freaky!
