Crisis on Infinite Earths #2
In "Le chapitre secret," the Anti-Monitor confronts a captured Barry Allen, his victory still incomplete as he grapples with the mystery of why Earths 1 and 2’s energies haven’t been absorbed—despite the Monitor’s final act having sealed them in a limbo of residual power. Written by Marv Wolfman and Jérôme Wicky, with George Pérez handling both the interior art and cover pencils, and Jerry Ordway inking the story, this 2002 issue delivers a tense, pivotal moment in the Crisis saga, with Pérez’s dynamic visuals and Tollin’s colors heightening the dread of an impending final reckoning.

Both Earths 1 and 2 have been consigned to a limbo created from the Monitor's last available energies before he died (as seen in issue 4). His foe wonders why he hasn't received those worlds' energies into himself like he did all the others that he's destroyed, but no matter - he still has 3 more worlds to destroy and reveals himself to a captured Flash [Barry Allen] (captured in issue 3 by the Anti-Monitor).
