Remember Colonel of Two Worlds, the KFC promotional comic in which Colonel Sanders’ evil doppelganger from Earth-3, Colonel Sunder, tried to take over KFC (with Captain Cold and Mirror Master) to make it terrible?
They made another one. This time, Col. Sunder has stolen the memories of the secret herbs and spices from 11 Colonels across the multiverse: Each Colonel can only remember one ingredient, and with the Flash of Earth-11, they have to travel the multiverse to reassemble the recipe.
It’s as crazy as it sounds, with Koln-El of the Kingdom Come Earth (the K stands for Kryptonian), Colonel Lad of the Legion of Super-Heroes (with Impulse!), Bizarro Colonel, Red Son Colonel from the USSR, an Earth’s End Colonel who is actually a chicken. There’s even a Teen Titans Go Colonel.
I think we actually see more of Earth-11 Flash here than we did in the Superwoman/Batwoman special she was introduced in. I found myself hoping we’d actually learn her name. I’ve always been inclined to call her Barbara Allen, but there’s nothing canon as far as I know.
Actually the whole thing is oddly reminiscent of Countdown, except fun.
I’m not sure if it’s available in comic shops or if it’s a convention special like last year’s NYCC giveaway, but you can read it for free on ComiXology.
This was such a fun read! Bart’s appearance as Impulse was a lovely surprise. It was weird to see him almost as a Legionnaire, I don’t think he was ever part of the team. I get it that he might have just been hanging out with them but as far as Bart’s timeline goes, he didn’t really spend time with the Legionnaires at all before he traveled back in time, right? XS visited him (what a beautiful moment in his book) and he traveled forward in time once or twice, but I don’t think he really spent a lot of time there. They wrote it as if he was expected to be there haha. I’d like to think that he was visiting XS, but I didn’t see her in the background. Also I don’t see how the cosmic treadmill could travel between multiple earths, only the pre-crisis treadmill could do that (and not very often). Alas, I still loved reading this silly thing.
It’s really cool that Impulse got a cameo.
