Crisis on Infinite Earths The Absolute Edition #[nn]
This Absolute Edition collects the landmark 12-issue maxiseries from 1985-1986, written by Marv Wolfman with art by George Pérez. The story reshaped the DC Universe by merging its multiple parallel Earths into a single continuity, leading to the deaths of major characters and the reboot of the entire line. Presented in a large-format hardcover with restored art and extensive supplementary material, it remains a definitive edition of one of comics' most pivotal crossover events.
In "The Summoning," the aftermath of the Monitor’s sacrifice sends shockwaves through the collapsing multiverse, as the Anti-Monitor shifts his focus to the last three positive-matter Earths. With Earths 1 and 2 merging in a null void, the remaining protectors are gathered aboard a satellite, where an adult Alex Luthor shares the fragile hope that only the combined strength of five universes can stand against the coming darkness. Written by Marv Wolfman and Robert Greenberger, with George Pérez’s iconic art and inks, and a cover by Pérez himself, this pivotal moment in Crisis on Infinite Earths The Absolute Edition (2006) sets the stage for an epic convergence.

The Monitor's death unleashed the energy required to protect Earths 1 and 2, now merging in a null void. The Anti-Monitor is momentarily confused by this and instead turns his attention to the three remaining positive-matter universes. An adult Alex Luthor comforts Harbinger, explaining her mentor's plan was still working but much remained to be accomplished. The combined Earth's protectors are brought aboard the satellite and given the details of the cosmic forces at work. Alex explains that only with the combined energy of the five surviving universes can the Anti-Monitor be stopped.
