	swedish krona - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
		Krona is also the name of a DC Comics alien villain.
		The introduction of the krona, which replaced the riksdaler as the country's legal tender, was a result of the Scandinavian Monetary Union, which came into effect in 1873 and lasted until the First World War.
		By tradition the one-krona coins carry the effigy of current monarch and one of the Coats of Arms of Sweden, or a crown, on the reverse side.

	Crisis on Infinite Earths
		Crisis on Infinite Earths was a 12 issue comic book mini-series produced by DC Comics in 1985 in order to clean up their 50 year old convoluted and confusing continuity.
		The DC Heroes and villains joined forces in response with the heroes traveling to stop the Anti-Monitor and the villians traveling to the planet Oa in antiquity to prevent the renegade scientist, Krona, from performing his experiment that would allowed Anti-Monitor to succeed in his efforts.
		With that, a single DC Comics universe was created and all the superheroes found themselves in one reality where the various elements of the five Earths were fused into one.

		In DC Comics the Multiverse is a continuity construct in which multiple fictional versions of the universe exist in the same space, separated from each other by their vibrational resonances.
		As the default Earth for most of DC's comics during the prolific Multiverse era, this was by far the most populous and greatly explored and retained dominance over the other four worlds which were merged in the Crisis on infinite Earths storyline.
		The DC Universe's official continuity post-Crisis took place on this merged Earth One, as the Crisis indicated that this universe was the core existence until the rogue Guardian Krona fractured reality at the dawn of creation creating both the multiverse and the anti-matter universe.

		Fawcett Comics publications of the 1940's and 1950's took place on this planet, with its predominant heroic teams being the Marvel Family, the Crime Crusader Club and the Squadron of Justice; while the main team of supervillains were the Monster Society of Evil.
		On yet another conjectured Earth-Crossover, the Silver Age DC Comics heroes lived side-by-side with the Silver Age Marvel Comics heroes, and it is on this alternate Earth where various team-ups and battles between the two publishers' heroes have occurred over the years.

	Sunday Slugfest - JLA #109 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
		With DC’s new “Crisis” on the horizon, the reappearance of so many factors that made the original epic so expansive in its scope is quite notable.
		As serialized literature, super hero comics have a malleable narrative reality, wherein history may be altered at the whim of the author.
		Whatever the reason, be it though editorial design, authorial exploration, or sheer incompetence on the part of the creative team, alterations to continuity disrupt the shared experience that the reader has built through long and personal interaction with the text.

	Review of Avengers/JLA #2 and Felix The Cat comics
		The plot is about a being named Krona who travels across realities and in each universe attempts to travel back in time to the moment of creation to understand the forces at work.
		In the Avenger's Universe Krona confronts The Grandmaster, an elder of the universe, who convinces Krona to bet this universe's fate on the outcome of a game of chance between two teams - the JLA and the Avengers.
		Comics have not been this enjoyable since Busiek and Perez did the first dozen issues of the current series of the Avengers.

		For over 20 years, these two giants in the comic book industry, that houses some of the most recognizable characters in the world, could not put aside their political differences and play together in the same sandbox concerning their premier superhero teams—the Justice League of America and the Avengers.

		DC and Marvel have different philosophies in the portrayal of their characters, and Busiek exploits it successfully by playing on these nuances.

	Krona (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Originally, Krona was a member of the ancient race of powerful, blue-skinned humanoid immortals from the planet Maltus (they would later relocate to Oa and style themselves the Guardians of the Universe).
		In later appearances, Krona resurfaced as an agent of entropy itself (whether this contradicts the story in the paragraph above or not isn't clear).
		In this crossover event, Krona shows his energy wielding powers to a great extent and is capable of destroying the CSA universe and the Polemachus universe.

		In the pre-Crisis DC Universe Krona's viewing of the universe's birth resulted in the universe splitting into myriad parallel dimensions.

		And the one destroying them is Krona, who, as readers of "Crisis on Infinite Earths" may recall, accidentally created the multiverse during his attempt to look backward through time, to the moment of creation itself.
		Krona is still trying to find the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything, even if it means destroying what he created.
		Captain America thinks the squeaky-clean DC Earth is authoritarian, while Superman is horrified at the disorder of the more grim and "realistic" Marvel Earth.

		DC had the New Teen Titans, the JLA, and the JSA, and George Perez was filling me in all of them.
		Plenty has changed in the DC Universe since Perez dissected it and reconstructed it with the help of his Titans collaborator, writer Marv Wolfman, in Crisis on Infinite Earths and History of the DC Universe, and I was anxious to see what he'd make of it now in the 21st century.
		Something about the universe-shattering pace of this story encompassing the worlds of DC and Marvel makes sense as the next step up from what was produced back in 1985.

	THE HIGH HAT \| MARGINALIA: DC's Crisis on Infinite Earths
		It’s the first comic book I can remember with a true sense of scale of the universe, both historical (as when heroes from the Golden Age stand shoulder-to-shoulder with more familiar modern ones) and in terms of the breadth and depth of the superheroes involved.
		Under the new and current DC editorial, they have worked hard to fix what was done wrong by those who were there immediately after Crisis, but the mistakes never should have been made in the first place.
		It seemed reasonable to the editorial staff at DC comics to have Hal Jordan kill individual Green Lanterns in combat and walk into the power battery to usurp the power of the Guardians, leading to the deaths of countless Green Lanterns and the disbanding of a fellowship Jordan himself had fought numerous times to save.
