Synopsis : I have decided not to write a synopsis for Final Crisis Issue 7 for now. I feel that if I do so, Ill end up putting in more words than the Issue. I'll put a mixed Synopsis-Review below. Sorry ! For anyone who has read the story they will get where I'm coming from
Review : After 6 Issues Of The Core Series and 5 Tie Ins, We Enter The Last Issue of what has so far been an Epic Event in Scale and Scope Of The Multiverse. The linearity is lost in this issue, there are scenes which are happening in random order which is meant not only to disorientate the reader but to show that The Time and Space Of The DCU is broken down. Supergirl and various other characters even mention this. Its not as if Grant was high on weed, its just a style which i think suited this Issue well.
To be a little linear to those who don't get The Last Issue, Superman confronts Darkseid in a very well written confrontation. No Punches and those over-the-top action. A Dark God vs a Sun God. Darkseid is foiled by the Black Racer, who is lured there by Barry Allen and Wally West, and taken out, Turpin is traumatised. Luthor and Superman team up to take out Libra's army. Wonder Woman is freed of The Anti-Life Equation by Frankenstein. The last scraps of Heroes leave to an amalgamation Of The Titans Tower, JLA Satellite, Fortress Of Solitude. At Checkmate, Lord Eye fails and Hawman and Hawkgirl sacrifice their lives as Mr.Miracle secures a Boom-Tube and takes them to safety.
Everything in space and time is Darkseid, the heroes battle some random parallel universe Metal men and get to work on The Miracle Machine (All The Humans are in Icetrays frozen and shrunk). Lois writes the "last" paper of the Daily Planet and how Earth Endured and Batman, just one man sacrificed himself to take Darkseid out.
Renee along with others recruit The Supermen Of The Multiverse together (All The guys from Superman Beyond are with Renee). As Soon as the Miracle Machine is nearly ready, Superman sees that Metron's chair has element X which he adds to The Machine. Mandrakk with his army return (Ultraman has The Spectre, Supergirl and The Radiant knocked out.), Superman is not scared nor surprised. The Superman Of The Multiverse are here, The Green Lantern Corps come in , every DC Hero is here along with Captain Carrot and his crew, Nix Uaton in his role as a Multiversal Monitor coordinated this. Nix is Mandrakk's son. They battle and The Green Lantern Corps and The Multiversal Supermen defeat Mandrakk.
The Earth is rebuilt slowly over time, with Metron's symbol over the Earth. Everyone is reunited and happy. All the Earths are put back into position. The New Gods are reborn on Earth-51.
Nix is back as a Monitor but he tells them that a Monitor interference is un-needed. He resigns and they all are wiped out, It is The Final Crisis Of The Monitors. Nix and Weeja are reunited as they are finished as Monitors. Superman's wish was that of a happy ending. Nix wakes on Earth, the radio is playing and now Earth has awareness of The Multiverse.
Earth Is Heaven.
I really wanted to do a detailed review, but its something i might do and edit later on.
The art was top notch and Im very happy to see Manhke end as this issue has heavy themes from Superman Beyond and Manhke was the artists there, Its a good transistion.
