New History of the DC Universe #3 Canonizes DC’s Most Important Period (Review)

Mark Waid continues to demonstrate his deep understanding of DC Comics with this issue, much like he did with his groundbreaking *New History of the DC Universe*. He presents the postCrisis* DC era – a particularly fascinating time for the universe – with a respectful adherence to its established continuity. Considering *Crisis on Infinite Earths* aimed to simplify the DC Universe, Waid effectively utilizes that streamlined foundation. As someone who grew up reading these comics, this issue felt like a wonderful trip down memory lane. This era is where Waid built his strong reputation, so it’s fitting that he stays true to its core elements.
