Infinite Crisis 2005 #6 Jim Lee / Sandra Hope Cover - back issue - $4.00

As the chaos of the old multiverse being restored continues, Alex decides he wants to create the 'perfect' Earth, one without a Superman, merging various earths in the process, and as failures, destroying them as well. The heroes stop him, but at a cost, as Superboy destroys the tower that was allowing for the earths to appear while battling vs. Superboy-Prime, freeing the captured heroes and villain to join in the fight. The magical heroes also fail to summon the Spectre to aid them, given he has no human host to appeal to.

• Touchdown - Includes the apparent deaths of Superboy (at Superboy-Prime's hands), Psycho-Pirate (Black Adam as he attempts to control him), and Star Sapphire [Deborah Camille Darnell] (by the hostless Spectre). Spectre is merged with a new human host (recently deceased GCPD det. Crispus Allen) by the magical heroes to end his war on magic as a spirit of vengeance vs. evil caused by Alex's deception to him that magic was evil. Superboy-Prime is taken by Kid Flash [Bart Allen] to the Speed Force, with help from his grandfather, Barry Allen, but escapes, and Bart returns to warn the heroes he's returned to wreck vengeance as Wally disappears elsewhere.
