Plot Summary

The dramatic finale to the epic, seven-part saga of the DC multiverse concludes with an apocalyptic battle for the soul of humanity that must be seen to be believed! Can the heroes of 52 Earths save the multiverse? And is the only way to save it, to change it forever?


On an alternate Earth the African American President of the United States gathers information on the Red skies surrounding his Earth he goes into the oval office and removes his suit showing a Superman costume underneath making him that world's Superman. This Superman and that world's Wonder Woman Nubia see a mysterious and possibly supernatural spaceship arrive. Inside the spaceship is Renee Montoya (wearing her Question mask, hat and a new costume), the Captain Marvel of Earth 5 and other alternate Supermen.

The Watchtower is shown as the universe breaks down Lois Lane narrarates as she recalls how Earth 44 collided with their Earth and battled with the Metal Men and Doc Tornado of Earth 44.

Lois Lane then says how she wrote the final edition of the Daily Planet that details the entire story of the battle with Darkseid it is placed inside a rocket and blasted off. The final events of the battle with Darkseid are shown:

Superman still holding Batman's body confronts an injured Darkseid but is hesitant to do anything to him as he recognizes the body he is in as Dan Turpin's Superman is then attacked by all the humans in Darkseid's control. Darkseid pulls out a gun about to shoot Superman with it Barry Allen and Wally West lead The Black Racer to Darkseid which severely injures Darkseid further. Other events at the time include Aquaman "returning" to save Atlantis, Checkmate fighting till their defeat, Ray Palmer and Ryan Choi attempting to reach a alternate Earth but held back as the interdimensional tunnel is damaged and shuts down, Black Canary and a cured Green Arrow drifting inside a powering down Watchtower as The Ray used his powers and made the "M" symbol all over the planet, The Super Young Team trying to survive as the interdimensional tunnel breaks down further, Aquazon screaming her love for Sonic Lightning Flash, Lolita Canary injured, Hawkman and Hawkgirl attempted to stop the tunnel before it closed down killing everyone but along with Mr. Terrific were caught in its explosion.

At Some point after this ended Superman and the remaining heroes and villains began building the Miracle Machine. As Supergirl told various surviving children in the Watchtower the defeat of Darkseid:

Renee Montoya arrives on New Earth with the group of alternate Supermen Renee then tells Overman that her sister died he is then seen clutching her body crying.

Superman looking down on Darkseid is confronted by the Female Furies (an Anti-Life infected Wonder Woman, Catwoman, Giganta and Batwoman) and the Justifiers. Then Lex Luthor and Sivana along with the mind controlled Secret Society arrive to help Superman and The Resistance against Darkseid's forces. At Some unspecified point in the battle Wonder Woman was freed and strung Darkseid with her magic lasso removing him from Dan Turpin's body.

Inside The Watchtower all the survivors are transformed into microscopic cells and placed inside a freezer in the Miracle Machine except Superman who is to activate the Miracle Machine and Supergirl who leaves to check on any other survivor. Superman is then confronted by the bare

Consciousness of Darkseid without a body Superman tells Darkseid of how everything is just vibrations and how they can be canceled out by counter-vibrations he screams some musical note and kills Darkseid.

Superman then sees Metron's abandoned Mobius Chair and pulls Element X from the chair something that can take any shape he loads it up in the Miracle Machine but hears then sees Mandrakk the Dark Monitor accompanied by a now vampire Ultraman holding Supergirl over his shoulder. Mandrakk tells Superman that he now wishes to feed on Superman as he shows The Spectre and The Radiant defeated and drained of power saying there is no light to power the Miracle Machine. Superman then uses the solar energy in his body to activate the Miracle Machine. As the Green Lantern Corps come near Earth the alternate Supermen all arrive to fight Ultraman and the Mandrakk.

The events are then narrarated by Nix Uaton he arrived the alternate Supermen and used his powers to summon Captain Carrot and the Zoo Crew, the Last Angel army of God, The Forever People of the Fifth World (The Super Young Team) and the Green Lantern Corps all of whom simultaneously blast Mandrakk and Ultraman with their combined powers with Hal Jordan delivering the killing blow to Mandrakk.

Lois Lane narrarates as she describes Earth surviving the Crisis and life beginning to recover.

Narraration then goes to Nix Uaton who describes to the other Monitors that the Multiverse returned to normal by the alternate Supermen and Green Lantern Corps.

He explains that Apokolips was recreated as New Genesis and home to the Forth World and the returned good New Gods and implies that they will that they will guide the recently destroyed Earth-51 (now home to Kamandi and many of the animal people of Command-D gene station), restoring it to prosperity and peace. Nix then says that it was the interference of the Monitors that threatened the Multiverse and says the time has come for them to step down.

NIx Uaton then goes to talk to Weeja Dell his former lover and says that the Final Crisis is for the Monitors he tells her how her face in his dreams gave him strength and kisses her on her forehead as the Monitors' realm starts to end. She asks what did Superman wish for with the Miracle Machine and he says "a happy ending". Nix then wakes up in his room on New Earth and hears on the radio that the people of Earth discovered the Multiverse.

Anthro is seen as an old man still holding the torch Metron gave him and still wearing the "M" symbol on his face he carves Metron's symbol on a cave wall in the distance there is the rocket ship launched from the Watchtower. Anthro smiles then passes away Batman then puts his belt on Anthro and starts carving the Batman symbol on the cave wall.

    OH MY GOD, THIS WAS SUCH A FANTASTIC ISSUE! I love the inclusion of the multiverse plotline to the Darkseid plotline. Mandrakk is scary and I loved the way Nix Uotan was used. I love the idea of Superman singing Darkseid to death and putting Kirby's world on Earth 51. And guess what, Captain Carrot and Aquaman are back. What more could you want? Doug Mahnke's art is spectacular and he should have illustrated the series in the first place although I love J.G's art all the same. Fucking Fantastic. Wins best mini in 2008 in my book.

    I personally enjoyed this issue quite a bit. The confrontation between Superman and Darkseid, Kal-El and Uxas, was well done and the fact that he didn't physically assault him leaving the credit for the kill for Batman. Superman was able to lead Earth's survivors in re-creating..or creating as the case may be the Miracle Machine and used it to defeat Darkside. Captain Marvel was sent to gather the Supermen of the Multiverse, and therefore made those 2 issues relevant. You also have the GLC continue on it's way to aid Earth, including Sodam Yat which i def was pleased with. In the end Nix pulled together an impressive force, made up of the most powerful groups in the Universe. The Green Lantern Corps, Supermen of the Multiverse, Captain Carrot and his allies (LMAO!!), The Pax Dei, and the Forever People of the 5'th World. Nix's charachter arc ended nicely, and was quite impressive for me, making him the greatest of the Monitor's. In the end i truly enjoyed this event, much more than Secret Invasion, while it takes a momment to get it, the level of symbolism throughout the series makes it a more interesting and engaging read each and every time you read it. While maybe this shouldn't have been an "event" comic, taken on it's own merit's it's amaing. Taken along with Morrison's interviews on Newsarama's this will keep me entertained for at least another week or too as i re-read and enjoy it.



    If "Lost" was comic....

    Okay, I have read this issue, and for a awhile, I hard to to think of it. I found that the concept of the DC Universe going to hell mirrors how the bad the comic book itself has gotten, a sort of an artistic kind of thing you can expect from Morrison,  but it still seem rather empty with a hype and exceptions of almost 2 years in the making. I still feel like Morrison wrote himself in corner, expanding his ideas while forgetting the 7 issue limit (which I feel is an insult to the first Crisis event that lasted a whole year). And there were things I liked in this series, like Mr. Tawny's story, or how a dying Darksied became the living embodiment of the destruction of the universe. So I sort of like and hated this series at the same time, while being confuse too.
     
     It wasn't when I watched a parody video of Lost when it dawned on me, Final Crisis is basically the "Lost" version of comics, especially in this issue with the time jumps within the panel and pages, with the additions of strange things that come in and out at random with little to no explanation to them at all, even if some of them raise our interest for what was happening. 
     
    So my verdict is.... uh..... still not sure of that. If your a fan of artistic messages in your comics, you might enjoy this. Same for guys who like crazy things in their comics. Either way, it happen and we can't change it... unless we become the writers/editors of DC in the future.

    At this point I gave up on the story. Hell, if Morrison isn't going to care, why should I. This entire series reminded me of a scene from Tootsie, where Bill Murray is at a party and he is talking to some friends. He tells them, " I do not want someone to tell me, Hey I loved your play. I want someone to come up to me and say, Hey man, I saw your play the other night. What the hell happened,"  There is a lot of stuff hapening here, it just doesnt make sense.



    I collected 52 and countdown for this?

    After finishing the pages of Final Crisis I am wondering if I missed out on something. This issue seems to be the worsted out of the lot. Apart from the Legion of Three Worlds I've finished all the cross overs recommended and just cannot put my finger on this one. The art work was good, I'll give it that for a pro, but I was mostly disappointed with this issue. They dug up the Zoo Crew, but why if they did nothing? Didn't seem like all those multiverse supermen did much either, other than give the artist something to do (Great art work, but I already said that). And what of the virus wonder woman was infected with, and infecting people with? Did that just go away? Superman using a wish machine to wish for a happy ending? Maybe he should have asked for a good ending. Hope Legion of Three Worlds makes sense of this comic (if it ever fully comes out) cause next time DC has a Crisis, I'll spend my money at the pub rather than on their comics.
