Cover by John Byrne.

It was the world's greatest comic magazine - again! Not since the days of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby had a creator so perfectly captured the intense mood, cosmic style and classic sense of adventure of Marvel's First Family.

Fresh off an earth-shattering and reputation-making run as penciler on UNCANNY X-MEN, John Byrne proved his writing talent was every bit the equal of his art as he pulled double-duty on FANTASTIC FOUR, launching Reed, Sue, Ben and Johnny into realms of imagination and wonder into which few creators before had dared to travel. From the four corners of the globe to the farthest reaches of space to the deepest depths of the Negative Zone, the FF face off against foes old and new - including the Dr. Doom, Galactus and Annihilus!

Plus: The FF aid the Inhumans, bid farewell to the Baxter Building, don new costumes and celebrate their 20th anniversary in style as Byrne reminds us all there's a family at the heart of this team of adventurers!

The event that asked, "What happens when evil wins?" is collected in an omnibus edition that features every tie-in miniseries and chapter, as Superman, Batman and the Justice League must face this reality when Darkseid and his followers win the war between light and dark!

THERE WAS A WAR IN HEAVEN. EVIL WON. NOW DARKSEID, GOD OF APOKOLIPS, HAS FALLEN TO EARTH-AND HE'S UNLEASING HELL.

Using the soul-destroying Anti-Life Equation, Darkseid is remaking the heroes, villains and everyday people of Earth in his dark image...and destroying the very fabric of reality itself in the process. Now superheroes from around the world--and across the Multiverse--must make a last, desperate stand against the forces of Anti-Life. Will Earth endure? And when the Crisis reaches its climax, who will make the ultimate sacrifice?

From the mind of genre-defining writer Grant Morrison comes FINAL CRISIS, one of the most epic events ever to hit the DC Universe! In this Omnibus edition, every chapter in the groundbreaking saga is presented together in reading order, including never before collected issues. From writers Grant Morrison, Geoff Johns, Greg Rucka and more comes the FINAL CRISIS OMNIBUS, a deconstruction of superhero comics at large and a challenging, thought-provoking take on the modern four-color icons.
