Every once in a while, we stumble upon something new and interesting while researching old, obscure comic-book characters. The Batman Villain Project is one of these hidden gems; it’s a photo set on Flickr that features artistic interpretations of a multitude of Batman villains. And there have certainly been a lot of zany ones over . . .

One of our writers, Goose Gansler, created this video inspired by the golden age stories from our DC Comics fanfic site. It’s very cool, very geeky, and it’s basically an ad for our site (though with a link to our original Geocities site from many years ago). Enjoy!

Here at the Five Earths Project, we like to honor special events with appropriate stories. That’s why during Halloween and Christmas last year we treated you to several new holiday-themed stories. Since 2012 is a U.S. election year, and Super Tuesday is coming up in March, we thought we’d honor the Presidential Primaries by posting . . .

Halloween is in just one week from now, and to celebrate that, we’ll be posting five — count ’em, FIVE — Halloween stories this week. All of them are short. Some of them are a bit spooky. One is mildly amusing. But all of them are Halloween-themed in some way. We hope you enjoy! And . . .

Yay! Finally! *applause* It was a long time coming, but the Five Earths Project finally has a chronological reading order list for Earth-1.

At the end of the Crisis on Infinite Earths, the last remaining universes were merged into one and became the current DC Comics Universe. But what if those five Earths were separated after the Crisis and continued on independent of each other? These stories explore what they’d be like. The time is not long after . . .

Today isn’t actually Mother’s Day yet, but it is May 1st, and that means a monthly theme image. This month’s image is of Queen Hippolyta, queen of the Amazons and arguably the greatest mother in comics. As the mother of Earth-1’s Wonder Woman (Princess Diana), Queen Hippolyta was responsible for many, if not most, of . . .

What do you do with a whole bunch of stories and story fragments that don’t fit into the continuity of the fictional world you’ve created? Why, you string all of them together into one massive story that eventually dovetails into a coherent ending, of course! At least that’s what I did when trying to find . . .

The other day I stumbled upon a fictional genre that was entirely new to me: Bizarro Fiction. I was captivated by the name alone. Obviously, as a comics fan I knew this genre was named after Bizarro from the comics, Superman’s imperfect duplicate. But while Bizarro Fiction’s name may have been inspired by the eponymous . . .

If you happened to drop by yesterday, you may have noticed a few changes. For those of you who missed it, here’s a screenshot of how the site looked. It was our own little April Fools’ Day joke. For the month of April, we’ve decided to celebrate our own “fools” in the DC Universe by . . .
