The most disorientating story I have likely read, and I loved every single fractured narrative moment of it. The beauty of Superman, the fount of all superheroic stories, wishing for a happy ending at the end of all stories, and subverting all Crisis expectations was magnificent in its simplicity. We were promised no re-boot, and Grant delivered. Leave it to other writers to make changes in their own continuities if desired, and no room for years of arguments back and forth as to what what constitues pre and post Final Crisis; it can fit anywhere, anytime.
Final Crisis drove a stake through 20 years of continuity rearrangement, and Grants love for superheroes and the mad world (s) they inhabit shone through. I will think about this story for a long time.
Here’s a longer, more rambling, piece on why I liked Final Crisis.

Curious about the comment you make here: Morrison drove a stake through 20 years of continuity??? How so? I don’t see how he really did anything of the sort. Infinite Crisis did THAT. Morrison’s old Hypertime concept did that. I don’t really see how this book did that. All it did was show us a lot of fragmented multiverse stuff. But we already knew the multiverse was back.
Ok..explain to me what happened please, since you liked it so much..no really..

You missed of the important word at the end – rearrangement
When the Lantern’s (the mythos which begat all Crisis’ since 1985) drive a stake through Mandrakk (the parasitic monitor vampire feeding on all stories/continuities), it is closure to the last 20 odd years of re-boots and reality changng events, and the end of a trilogy encompassing CoIE, IC and FC.
Whether DC abide by that or not, is another thing.
