This week’s issue of Edison Rex, the supervillain-gone-straight saga from former Superman writer Chris Roberson and artist Dennis Culver, brings the title’s first full arc to a close in a rather unexpected fashion(for the characters, anyway–readers may have expected a bit of it, but I digress): by bringing the Edison Rexes of many worlds together to converge on “our” Edison and demand he join their crusade to make the multiverse a safer place.Confused yet? Just imagine how much more fun that story would be if one of the Edisons was a platypus and the book featured a villain called Don Cthulu who turned people into windmills.Wait, what?Chris Roberson joined us to talk about the issue and where the series goes from here. If you haven’t read it yet, what are you waiting for? Grab one and read along with our commentary.I just want to say that I would read–hell, write–an ongoing series based on that Cthulu Don Quixote.That’s Don Cthulhu. And he’s turning our heroes into WINDMILLS. The character and the scenario is all Dennis, and I think it’s GENIUS.
So is it safe to assume that Edison Rex is key to what’s going on in the Multiverse simply virtue of the fact that he somehow tapped into the truth of the matter in his fantastical story to Valiant?
Is the Edison with the goatee from Community‘s Darkest Timeline?

Can we expect to see Tesla Files on the remaining Edisons over time? We get the principal players here, but not Steampunk Edison or the goatee guy and such.
You know, I can’t help but wonder: If Edison is going to get litigious, will that put him in a good place to also get on the media about referring ot him as a “villain”?
Is this technically the last chapter of the first story? How many issues will the trade paperback that’s coming up collect?
How do the trades work for Monkeybrain? It seemed at Comic Con like you guys don’t retain any print rights and those stay with the creators.
Edison Rex
I thought Platypus Rex was a duck on the cover…the white Edison hair really threw me. It never occurred to me until now that the white hair wasn’t age-related.
Is there a reason why the Edison Rex Society have two-colored logos instead of just a solid color on their inverted triangle?
