But I imagine there are a lot of easter eggs for people who read Crisis on Infinite Earth or have an important knowledge of the hundreds of heroes and villains that show in the event. In 1996, Grant Morrison–the visionary writer of The Invisible, Animal Man, Doom Patrol and more–joined forces with artist Howard Porter to relaunch the Justice League of America as JLA. Morrison and Porter revitalized the franchise by gathering DC's greatest heroes–Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, the Flash, Aquaman, and Martian Manhunter–and propelling these icons into inventive, modern stories with the highest of stakes. Now based on a Watchtower on the moon, the JLA took on classic threats including the White Martians, the Injustice Gang, and the Key; along with new foes such as Prometheus.

For any who may not know, Infinite Crisis was the cumulation of a couple of years of DC stories, all brought to a head. This omnibus brings together those lead up stories and along with the series that wrapped it all up.Reading Identity Crisis before Infinite Crisis is a must. It would even deserve to be part of this Omnibus. The OMAC Project. Of all the Infinite Crisis miniseries, The OMAC Project is the one that most obviously continues on from Countdown to Infinite Crisis. That means it's the continuing story of Max Lord, a regathered JLI, and the OMACs. These are all great elements, with the OMACs and Brother I (Eye) in particular being a strong addition to the modern-day DC universe. There's also some fun mystery and some good interactions between DC heroes. OMAC robots are rampaging, magic is dying, villains are uniting, and a war is raging in space. And in the middle of it all, a critical moment has divided Earth's three greatest heroes: Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. It's the DC Universe's darkest day, and long-lost heroes from the past have returned to make things right in the universe… at any cost. Heroes will live, heroes will die, and the DCU will never be the same again!

As usual, the story loses me a little when the Specter comes into play. He appears in so many stories as the ultimate savior or threat (there was a similar plot in JSA) but I still do not really get the character... I liked the team of magicians though.

Retrieved 2008-02-19.As with many large-scale comic crossovers, Infinite Crisis featured a large number of tie-ins. Before the event was announced, books such as Adam Strange and Identity Crisis were being described as part of bigger plans. After Countdown, several books were identified as tie-ins to the four mini-series. Thus, although Infinite Crisis itself is only seven issues long, its plot elements appeared in dozens of publications. The adventures of one of DC's most distinctive heroes, Deadman, are collected in a decades-spanning hardcover edition.
