In tribute to George Perez (1954-2022) , may he rest in peace.
>The mysterious Anti-Monitor has begun a crusade to end all existence. As alternate Earths are destroyed, the Monitor quickly assembles a team of heroes from across time and space to stop the menace!

What a fine gentleman, I sure hope he doesn't become evil in a much lamer event decades down the road.
sounds highly unlikely
It was a different time
>TIME AND TIME AGAIN!
>In the second chapter of the biggest epic in DCU history, a group of heroes and villains, including the likes of the Golden Age Superman of Earth-2, Firestorm, Green Lantern (John Stewart), Doctor Polaris, Psi-Mon, and more, have been assembled by the enigmatic being known as the Monitor and his partner, the woman simply known as Harbinger. They have been dispatched throughout the multiverse, and time itself, to defend monolithic machines that may halt the advance of the destructive anti-matter wave which is sweeping across the infinite. However, they'll find this a task easier said than done when their enemy's agents, sinister Shadow Demons, rise up to destroy them.
>OBLIVION UPON US
>Harbinger walks into the Monitor's sanctum as he continues testing young Alexander Luthor. Luthor is aging at an accelerated rate, and is now the physical age of an adolescent boy. The Monitor discovers he is composed of both positive matter and antimatter, and believes that this composite life form may hold the key towards stopping the Crisis. Harbinger, still under the influence of a dark, mysterious entity, leaves the Monitor's satellite and reports to her new master.
Bump outta respect for Perez
I have to be honest, I never understood why COIE is such a widely beloved classic, but easily the greatest part of it is the artwork
