Published from 2008 to 2009, Final Crisis was a DC Comics crossover event written by Grant Morrison with art by J.G. Jones, Carlos Pacheco, and Doug Mahnke. The story depicts Darkseid's ultimate victory: his fall through the multiverse after his death in the Fourth World corrupts reality itself with the Anti-Life Equation.
As existence crumbles, heroes across time and the multiverse must unite against the dying god's final scheme. Key moments include Batman's apparent death confronting Darkseid, Superman's desperate search across realities, and the Flash family outrunning death itself.
The event introduced the concept of stories as weapons and had lasting consequences including Batman's temporary death and the return of Barry Allen as the Flash.
