Crisis Hotline With Doc - Final Crisis

You're on the Crisis Hotline With Doc, a series that focuses on all the Crisis events in the DC Universe. It is not a review program but rather a reader's guide and introduction to those events that highlights the importance of them to the DC Universe. We are back in a big way after a 2 year hiatus in the series. In this seventh installment, Doc and Angus tackle Grant Morrison's Final Crisis.

What happens when evil wins? That's the question Superman, Batman, the Justice League and every being in the DC Universe must face when Darkseid and his otherworldly legion of fanatical followers defeat the World's Greatest Heroes. How will they rally back? More importantly...can they? Collects FINAL CRISIS #1-7, DC UNIVERSE #0, FINAL CRISIS: SUPERMAN BEYOND #1-2 and BATMAN #682-683 as a DC Essential Edition!
