IT'S ALL OVER

Have you seen this?

If so, you may have simply regarded it as beautiful, interesting, or amusing. But if you're a DC Comics fan, you understand the hideous implications.

DC teaches us that the true original sin, the one that brought evil into the universe, was when the Oan scientist Krona looked back to the dawn of time and saw a big hand holding stars. Nobody's allowed to see that. Now humanity too has looked too far back (since the speed of light is finite, telescopes always look back in time) and, plainly, seen what Krona saw.

I don't know exactly what's going to happen next. It could be walls of white antimatter sweeping along under crimson skies. It could be invaders from Apokolips. It could be retcons that alter our pasts and turn us into different people. But plainly, we're doomed. The cosmos will punish us for our temerity, just as it punished Krona and those who repeated his sin. So quit your job, max out your credit cards, and party!
