Storyline: Final Crisis part 1 (of 7)
Date: May 28, 2008
Price: $3.99 US
Writer: Grant Morrison
Artist: J.G. Jones

Synopsis: Witness the historic start of the final chapter in the Crisis trilogy that could only spring from the mind of Grant Morrison — Final Crisis, featuring stunning art by J.G. Jones (52 Covers)! Worlds will live and heroes will die in this epic tale spanning the beginning and end of the DC Universe!

The entire Multiverse is threatened as the mysterious Libra assembles an army of the DCU’s most terrifying super villains. But what is the ultimate plan, and who will live to find out?

Opinion: A lot people have been looking forward to DC’s summer event, Final Crisis, and what it entails.  Broad changes are set to sweep across the entire DC universe after Grant Morrison’s run, and the best I can personally hope for as an estranged DC reader is to be able to keep up.

You may have remembered I was furious with Batman #676 from Morrison last month, I felt the setup was clumsy and incomprehensible.  I was very worried this summer’s event would start off the same way, discouraging me from coming along with the ride.  I’m happy to report this isn’t quite the case.

On May 28th, the final arch in a two-decade trilogy is set to begin with Final Crisis #1.   Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and what could be the Flash will go toe to toe with the biggest crisis ever to hit the DCU as the nefarious Libra amasses an army of villains to exploit the negative downturns the DCU heroes have experienced in the last couple of years.

Grant Morrison (All-Star Superman) and J.G. Jones (52) are set to revolutionize the universe with their Final Crisis, but to some this is just another event.  Do you think this is going to be the big deal that DC keeps saying it is?  Is it really going to be the end of a trilogy, where everything gets wrapped up from a story started 20 years ago?

Either way, we have an exclusive look at 5 pages from Final Crisis #1: DOA: The God of War, plus a sketch layout of the evolution of Darkseid by J.G. Jones right here:
