I am aware of most people will find this book confusing. But, for some reason, I never have. The main story is about Darkseid's plot to destroy the universe by bringing everything into himself using the Anti-life equation. Then, in Superman Beyond, it reveals that an evil Monitor (beings that monitor the multiverse) is causing every universe to experience a crisis. To make things worse, Darkseid's soul ripped a hole in reality. Now that I'm typing it out, it seems a little complicated. But, in my opinion, Final Crisis reads much smoother as a hardcover than it does as just one mini-series
