For reasons that boggle the imagination, Col. Harlon Sanders seems to be everywhere these days. The Kentucky colonel, who died in 1980, has been portrayed recently on TV by a series of actors and comedians. I see him on T-shirts and grafitti around New York. He outshines even the greasy death chicken restaurant he founded itself. Riding the wave of recent interest in the dead Southern fried chicken master, DC Comics teamed up with KFC to create a comic book about the Colonel. It's called The Crisis of Infinite Colonels and it takes its inspiration from the similarly named Crisis of Infinite Earths from DC comic history. In it, there are...well...an infinite amount of Colonel Sanders that are loosed upon the world. There is an evil Colonel from Earth-3 that must be defeated and only a bunch of Colonels can do it.
The most horrifying Colonel is the one from Earht-51. He is a giant Rooster in a Kentucky Colonel outfit. This brings up some troubling issues. Does this mean that this rooster is famous on his planet for deep frying his fellow chickens? Is he frying humans in a world in which chickens are the dominant species? Surely he eats the chicken or whatever he makes. So, either he is a cannibal or he's eating human flesh. I find the whole thing deeply unsettling.
