This oversized slipcased set contains two hardcover books. The 368-page Book One includes the full 12-issue maxiseries (painstakingly restored and meticulously recolored in 1998), with an introduction by Marv Wolfman afterword by Dick Giordano, and creator bios. The 96-page Book Two contains a compendium featuring the fullbehind-the-scenes story on the years-long making of the maxiseries complete with memos, notes, original plots and commentary from Marv Wolfman and Jerry Ordway.

The event that destroyed the DC Universe. See the Flash and Supergirl die for no real reason other than cheap shock value, only to be reintroduced a few years later in "hip" new versions! See the Hawk lose his partner and brother, the Dove, also for no apparent reason other than because they had to kill a beloved character in that issue, but nobody too famous that people might complain about since they were already going to get flack over Flash and Supergirl! See meaningless changes to "continuity" in fantasy stories! See DC denying its past in hopes of appealing to young people, and failing at both!

Getting this is like buying the 3 DVD set of some movie you love. It has it all. Notes from the initial proposal. Thoughts from the writers, artist, editor, etc.
The story was earth shattering (pun intended) and set the stage for DC's revival. If you love comics, the medium or the characters, buy it. It would also make a great present. For those just looking for the basics, I'd suggest a copy of the Trade Paperback.
