Crisis on Infinite Earths 9 (Facsimile Edition) #[nn]
In "War Zone," the aftermath of Barry Allen’s sacrifice unfolds as the surviving heroes of Earths 1 and 2 rush to defend the vulnerable universes—4, S, and X—from a coordinated assault by Lex Luthor, Brainiac, and their forces. Amid the chaos, Guy Gardner is handed a power ring by a fractured group of six Guardians, five of whom vanish in a moment of grim resolve. Written by Marv Wolfman and brought to life with dynamic precision by George Pérez—pencils and inks on the cover and interior, with Jerry Ordway, Mike Machlan, Anthony Tollin, and John Costanza completing the creative team—this pivotal issue captures the escalating stakes of the crisis with emotional weight and bold visuals.
