    The final battle between the Anti-Monitor and the heroes begins on two fronts: one on Earth, the other in the anti-matter universe. After great loss and suffering on both fronts, the Superman of Earth-2 delivers the final blow to the Anti-Monitor and goes into a limbo alongside Superboy of Earth-Prime, his wife Lois Lane Kent of Earth-2, and Alex Luthor Jr. of Earth-3.
