- Synopsis:
- The heroes learn through the Spectre that the multiverse is about to be destroyed by the Antimonitor at the dawn of time via the antimatter universe. 2 groups have been formed: Heroes to stop the Antimonitor's plans, Villains to stop Krona from peering into his special mirror (as seen in Crisis 7). Both groups almost fail (villains by Krona's hand, heroes by the Antimonitor), but the Spectre arrives to fight the Antimonitor. An enormous explosion takes place between the Spectre/Antimonitor battle as everything we know disappears and becomes black. To be continued...?
This story runs concurrently with the second story below it (The Monitor Tapes...).
