In "Time and Time Again!" from the Crisis on Infinite Earths: 35th Anniversary Deluxe Edition, the heroes aboard the Monitor's satellite race to stabilize the collapsing multiverse by retrieving the Monitor's tuning forks on Earth-1 as reality fractures around them.

In "Worlds in Limbo," the remnants of Earths 1 and 2 drift in a fragile pocket of existence, sustained only by the Monitor’s final energies.

In "The Monitor Tapes...", Lyla—once Harbinger—steps into the quiet weight of legacy, piecing together fragments of the Monitor’s records to reveal the multiverse’s fragile truth. What begins as a transmission of knowledge becomes a quiet, urgent mission, as she realizes she’s the one meant to carry it forward.

In "Aftershock," the heroes grapple with the unraveling of reality as some are remembered while others fade—leaving questions about why Superman [Earth-2] and Flash [Jay Garrick] remain stranded, unable to return home. As Harbinger reveals the multiverse has collapsed into one fractured Earth, the Anti-Monitor reemerges, threatening to drag the last remnant of existence into the antimatter void.

In the climactic showdown of *Crisis on Infinite Earths: 35th Anniversary Deluxe Edition*, the Anti-Monitor’s assault reaches its peak as heroes fight on both Earth and within the anti-matter universe.
