A deeply detailed spotlight interview conducted at DC's offices, with editor Len Wein and others drifting in and out. Wolfman and Greenberger explain that the deaths of Supergirl (issue #7) and the Flash (issue #8) were planned from the very beginning in their two-year-old original plot outline, and that the Flash title had long been in sales trouble. They discuss the mechanics of coordinating dozens of tie-in books across the line — how crossovers were voluntary but requested, how certain dictates came from publisher Jenette Kahn, and how Perez's extraordinary choreography has made the book possible. They also address the planned post-Crisis history of the DC Universe (a three-part chronological project with Perez), the decision to streamline the multiverse, the use of Charlton characters as Earth-4 heroes, and candidly acknowledge that the JLA/JSA team-up tradition had "outlasted decent stories."
