The Monitor is dead.
Earth-1 and Earth-2 are consumed by the anti-matter wave.
And for the first time in Crisis on Infinite Earths, the stakes truly feel impossible.
Dave, Doug, and Mike dive deep into one of the defining issues of the entire maxiseries — from the emotional rooftop conversation between Supergirl and Batgirl, to the destruction of Earth-6, the debut of the new Doctor Light, the shocking murder of The Monitor, and why this issue changes the scale of Crisis forever.
