NOTE:
Two page end of issue story entitled, "History of the Multiverse, Chapter 6"
in which the Monitors examine the Crisis on Infinite Earths. The crisis on infinite earths began when anti-matter began consuming worlds. The Earth-3 Lex Luthor saved his son by sending him to Earth-1 before their world was destroyed. The Monitor summoned heroes from many Earths to fight the Anti-Monitor who caused the disaster. Many heroes died in the crisis but the Anti-Monitor was stopped. The result was one Earth, a mixing of Earths-1 and 2. Alex Luthor, Earth-2 Superman and Lois Lane, and Earth-Prime Superboy survived in a pocket dimension that Luthor found.
