Mike, what do you mean it ties everything up?  What happened to Wonder
Woman?  Are they just giving themselves a way to rewrite her origin?  What
about the two remaining duplicates, Green Lantern and the Flash?  Not to
mention whatever GL's daughter is called; where does she fit in?  How does
this fit together with Green Lantern 198, which seems to end in a way
incompatible with Crisis?  Who is Power Girl now?  And so on, and so on.
Seems to me there were a lot of loose ends left dangling.

Overall, the series was fun; but I really wish Wolfman had bothered to read
some time travel stories first to get some idea of how meta-temporal
phenomena might work.  The glitches with the time travel and inter-time
contact really detracted in my eyes; this was straight out of Star Trek and
the Superman movie.  To cite the worse example, what was this baloney with
people seeing the anti-Monitor zipping back through time?  He would be
visible in all instants; there would be no perception of him coming and
going from the perspective of someone going forward in time.
