The myriad changes that have shaken the DC Universe in recent years will seem like mere prologues to DC Comics’ Final Crisis #1 (MAR08 0124, $3.99), the first, extra-sized chapter in an electrifying, seven-issue limited series by Grant Morrison & J.G. Jones and a March PREVIEWS Gem of the Month.

The shattering events of Infinite Crisis and its companion weekly series, 52 and Countdown, have consistently been well received with every chapter, and have built high anticipation for this limited series. The limited series follows through with colossal action and destruction as the villain Libra threatens the entire Multiverse with an army of the DCU’s most terrifying super-villains. But what is Libra’s ultimate plan – and which characters and worlds will survive to find out?

The 40-page, full-color issue is set to ship with two Jones covers on May 28. For more Crisis action, readers should also search out the 32-page Final Crisis Sketchbook (MAR08 0125, $2.99), which contains behind-the-scenes sketches, designs and notes from the creators and is scheduled to ship on May 14.
