So like, didn't the final issue come out today?
Where are all those spoilers for those of us not getting our comics until the weekend?

There were some lengthy ones posted at the DCMB's already which were unfortunately accurate, it seems. I don't think I'll be bothering to read any of this at all...

Come on guys. Let's get some real spoilers going here. I won't get my copy until a week from this coming Monday. Unless I want to pay full cover price and try to find a copy at the store tonight.

Click Here For A SpoilerThe story opens with the heroes standing over Superboy's corpse. Green Lantern shows up and tells them that the Society is attacking Metropolis. Apparently, Alex Luthor has decided if he can't recreate the Earth he wants, he'll conquer this one. Oh, and he mentions that this is another New Earth, not the same as the one before.
Anyway, there's several pages of tons of people who I don't recognize getting killed.
Bart Allen shows up wearing Barry Allen's uniform.
Superboy-Prime decides to destroy Oa, and with this new universe. All the flying heroes take off after him. The Green Lanterns make a stand to protect Oa, which slows Superboy-Prime down enough for the rest to catch up.
Alex tries to blast Batman, but hits Nightwing instead, seemingly killing him. Batman punches Alex, and considers shooting him in the head, before Wonder Woman shows up. Wonder Woman reminds him that killing Alex wouldn't be worth it. Alex is seemingly killed when a building collapses.
The two Superman attack Superboy-Prime, flying him through the remains of Krypton, through Krypton's red sun, and eventually to Mogo, the Green Lantern planet. They are all gradually losing their powers, but they fight, and Superman of Earth-2 is beaten pretty badly before Superman of Earth-1 finally defeats Superboy-Prime. Superboy of Earth-2 dies. He's apparently buried next to Lois and Kon-El.
Bart had only enough residual speed force energy to last through the one battle, so he gives up being Flash, and gives the mantle back to Jay.
Alex turns out to still be alive in Gotham City, but not for long, as Lex Luthor and the Joker catch up to him and the Joker kills him for not letting him in the Society.
Diana, Clark, and Bruce all take off for their respective years off.
The series ends with Superboy-Prime imprisoned in a cell in the center of Oa, vowing to escape.

Thanks Eryk. Doesn't seem it really cleared anything up. Was the issue of multiple Earths even touched on? Not worth an extra $4.00 and a trip to the store.

Nope. Basically, they seem to have cleared up a bit of the dammage done to the DCU by the first Crisis, but overall the changes to the DCU don't seem to be much greater than those wrought by the Zero Hour crapfest. In other words, very little is really fixed. Hardly the new, improved DCU that was supposed to come out of this.

Actually, it leaves it's own set of questions at the end. While I haven't given it a full read, I have given it a quick run through.
Click Here For A SpoilerWhat happened to Alex's powers that he gets capped so easily?
Click Here For A SpoilerWhere's Donna and the others? Such a big deal was made about their departure, and they only played a small part!
Click Here For A SpoilerI think the Flash is NOT going to be Jay Garrick. This smells of a setup.
Click Here For A SpoilerWonder Woman stopping Batman from pulling the trigger? After the big deal was made about her being a 'warrior'? What a cop out!
Click Here For A SpoilerAnd they lock SP up for eternity? That did work the first two times...what makes them think it will work again?

One of the more intriguing things about the book is that last splash pages and what it hints about the future: -- Batwoman? -- Jay's there and so's the Flash. So who's wearing Wally's costume? -- The Marvel Family - Cap gets white duds and a hood (since he's trapped in the Rock?) and Kid Marvel gets the red outfit. -- Martian Manhunter gets a new "conehead" look -- I hadn't seen him in the previews, but there appears to be a new Black Condor as well. -- Is that Kingdom Come Starman? Who was that supposed to be anyway? Thom?
other random thoughts: -- the art changes weren't too bad, but it was noticeably different (and of much lower quality on the "like hell" page and even that last splash at the end. -- It's such a cop-out that Superboy was nothing more than a psychotic madman running around ripping people in half. Aside from the pretty art, there wasn't much to the "climax". When they turned Hal into Parallax as the villain for Zero Hour, they did the same thing - making him mad just negates the dramatic power and inner conflict of having a formerly great hero go bad.
