Notes:
(1) This is almost surely going to be one of those rare instances where the event tie-ins are superior to the event itself.
- Usually, events are written by a company's top writer or rising star. Neither applies to Jeff King, Scott Lobdell, or Dan Jurgens.
- These are essentially anthologies, and my experience with anthologies is they more or less average to average.

Notes:
(1) Okay, reading this companion book of tie-ins is taking way too long.
- These are the exact same two-issue per character format as the "Flashpoint" tie-in books I've read, but I just don't care about any of these characters.
- I barely care to read modern "Teen Titans," let alone "Infinity Inc," their no-name Earth-Two counterparts.
(2) Time to power through this!

Notes:
(1) I appreciate the idea that in telling stories about a different eras, that attention was paid to match the look and feel of the past.
- Though I will say that digital color doesn't really benefit older styles of art. In much the same way that classic films look worse upscaled or transferred to high-definition, older styles look best on newsprint and hand colored.
