Book Two - 96 pages - consists of a compendium including memos, notes, and original plot ideas for the story that took years to perfect. Book Two also contains a commentary from Marv Wolfman and Jerry Ordway, the first and fully updated versions of the Official Index to Crisis and Official Index to Crisis Crossovers, a look at post-crisis aftermath, the Superboy/Legion mystery, and the 20th anniversary of this larger than life comics event.
