You can begin with Death of the New Gods, then go to 52 volume #1 (collects 52 #1-26), 52 volume #2 (collects 52 #27-52), Seven Soldiers by Grant Morrison. If you want to be more thorough there’s a lot to read. Will Earth endure? And when the Crisis reaches its climax, who will make the ultimate sacrifice? What to read before Final Crisis?Ī lot of mostly nothing-you can go with DC Universe #0 and then the main event. Now superheroes from around the world-and across the Multiverse-must make a last, desperate stand against the forces of Anti-Life. Here is the official synopsis: Using the soul-destroying Anti-Life Equation, Darkseid is remaking the heroes, villains, and everyday people of Earth in his dark image … and destroying the very fabric of reality itself in the process. That said, Final Crisis is a mostly self-contained story.įinal Crisis deals with alien villain Darkseid’s plot to overthrow reality, and the subsequent death and corruption of various DC characters and their universe. If you are familiar with most of Grant Morrison’s work in the DC Universe, you know how much he loves to explore the past and, in his own way, to try to make sense of most of it, even if it often ends up hard to follow. Coming from Grant Morrison, Final Crisis is a crossover event published by DC Comics in 2008, during the post-Crisis era.
