And after listening to the sub's old audio tapes, Cap discovers an inconsistency in his origin!

Weather and natural disasters are out of control. An eclectic group of heroes and villains from around the multiverse are assembled to halt the death and destruction, and the being known as the Monitor may be the only one who can help them. 1st appearance of Alexander Luthor. Featuring the deaths of the Crime Syndicate of Amerika and Lex Luthor of Earth-3. NOTE: What can I say about "Crisis" accept that it's epic, meaningful, engrossing, and grand in scope. As an eleven year old comic fan, I remember being absolutely blown away by this story. Marv Wolfman and George Perez are truly masters of their craft. - Odinson, Lone Star Comics Archivist Cover price $0.75.
