Not to say I told you so, but the release of additional information this week at ComicCon did seem fairly inevitable. ;-) I would hope that an official creative team being on hand would be enough reason to keep the article this time around... --Roger McCoy 03:11, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You hit the nail on the hammer, McCoy! (from another opposer to last week's deletion). Dyslexic agnostic 16:36, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Weren't all earths (re)merged into one by the end of Infinite Crisis? How come they are all disjoined again? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.19.109.43 (talk) 20:15, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have protected this page from recreation until the issues that resulted in its initial deletion are addressed. Once the information here is supported by independent reliable sources there can be an article on this subject. When that happens you can ask that the page be unprotected at my talk page or WP:RFPP.

I've undone this - the issue in the AfD was clearly not the sources (Newsarama has long been considered reliable) but the lack of actual information. Enjoy your article. Phil Sandifer 13:45, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'd just like to point out that I just noticed that the last issue (#12) of Crisis on Infinite Earths is also named "Final Crisis".--SeizureDog 04:44, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is it relevant to add that Grant Morrison has stated that this will not be a continuity reboot? ^[1] Hazardous Matt (talk) 20:17, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In the "format" section it states the series will not cross-over with any other series "much to the delight of fans". Isn't this an NPOV (and fairly unsourcable) claim? Hazardous Matt (talk) 14:00, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rewrote the plot section (complete with references for the reference nazis on Wikipedia) to reflect the main overarching plot for Final Crisis: Darkseid's the last God standing out of the entire Fourth World and that now that the Fifth World of Gods is rising and no one is left of the old Gods to oppose him, Darkseid plans to bring about a new age of evil upon the universe. I've also tossed into the equation the plot of "Legion of Three Worlds", which is being set up to be the Final Crisis tie-in that will have the most impact towards the main series as far as the fact that it will be dealing with the major plotlines from "Countdown" that Morrison won't be addressing (IE the Legion, Brainiac Five's lightning rod which is of grave importance, and possibly the notion that Superman will be busy with the Legion and be MIA during the course of Final Crisis mini-series. --BakerBaker (talk) 05:32, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"While in the 31st century, Superman is summond to the 30th..." Even if this is accurate (I haven't been following Superman) this is a tad confusing.  Hazardous Matt  13:03, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

1) Where is it confirmed that Orion is the survivor of the New Gods? 2) Where was it confirmed that none of the Tie-Ins would be in Ongoing existing titles? I was at the NYCC panel and it seemed to me that "Rage of the Red Lanterns" was a GL storyline that would tie in to final crisis, not a stand alone mini. 3) should we separate the One-Shot storys (Sumbit, Resist, Requiem) from the Mini's? 4) Should a section be added to discuss the planned one month gap in the story's printing from the perspective of the plot?

1) Issue # 2 of Countdown and the last issue of the Death of the New Gods mini, Orion kills Darkseid and is the only one left. Kur 22:14, April 24, 2k8

1. As Kur points out, Countdown and Death of the New Gods ideally leave Orion as the last survivor, and fading from view. However, Darkseid has been used for the Final Night add copy and at least 3 characters from the Fourth World haven't been addressed: Little Barda, Forager, and the GL who IIRC was converted into an Alpha Lantern.
2. See here. 3 minis: Final Crisis: Rogue’s Revenge (July, 3 issues); Final Crisis: Revelations (Aug, 5 issues); and Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds (Aug and 5 too). 5 one-shots: Final Crisis: Requiem (June?); Final Crisis: Superman Beyond (Aug); Final Crisis: Submit (Sept); Final Crisis: Resist (Oct); and Final Crisis: Red Lanterns (Nov).
3. Since we've got the cite, sounds like an idea.
4. No, and the "Relationships" and "Tie-ins" should be subbed to "Format". That is part and parcel to the publication intent of the series.

Also what to do about DC Universe which appears to set the stage for not just Final Crisis but a lot of other summer storylines [1], also it looks like a newspaper has leaked major spoilers for it [2]. (Emperor (talk) 15:12, 30 April 2008 (UTC))[reply]
