Nice review, but I don't really get how everyone thinks that this is actually going to have a major impact.  It really seems like this is a grand self contained story as opposed to a major event that shapes the universe. 

I guess we will see how it unfolds in the end, but right now it's isolation from the rest of the ongoing DCU titles makes the stakes feel so worthless.  Sure there will be some ramifications, but I'm just not buying that this is the darkest day in DCU's history if I already know that Darkseid will be defeated and the world will be back to normal  before JSA finishes fighting Magog, before Hal Jordan tango's with the Red Lanterns, and before Superman finishes punching Brainiac while a perfectly healthy Lois Lane waits at home.

I know some fans hate tie-ins, but the lack of consequences throughout the DCU now and in future previews really makes Final Crisis feel like an elseworlds tale.
