10 Wacky Alternate DC Comics Universes That Need Exploration

5. Earth 29 €“ The Bizarro World*

€œWe hate Bizarroverse!€ says the opposite-obsessed, backwards version of Superman €“ Bizarro. One of Superman€™s greatest €œvillains€ (we use that term loosely here), Bizarro first debuted during the Silver age of comics in Superboy #68. While there are many villains who serve as mirrors or foils for heroes, Bizarro stands out due to the buffoonery that usually ensues within his stories. Earth 29 takes the concept of Bizarro and applies it to an entire universe: an overcrowded reality dominated by broken physics and comprised of back-ass-wards versions of the DC characters. On Htrae Superman-Bizarro leads the Unjustice League. Nearby planets include Nnar €“ home of Adam Familiar, and Ao the base for the Dismissers of the Universe. Recently highlighted in the Greg Pak penned and Aaron Kuder illustrated Action Comics (vol.2) #40, Earth 29 will be a part of the all-ages Bizarro six-issue mini-series (written by Heath Corson with Gustavo Duarte on art), which will hit the shelves June 2015. *NOTE: You may need to grab a mirror to understand some of the words in this article.
