Line 62:
* 1986's ''Superman: [[Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?]]?'', by [[Alan Moore]] and Curt Swan, closes the book on the [[Silver Age]] [[Superman]], paving the way for the ''[[The Man of Steel|Man of Steel]]'' [[Continuity Reboot|reboot]] by John Byrne.
* ''[[The Dark Knight Returns]]'' provides a definitive end to [[Batman]]'s career, and ends his conflict with [[The Joker]] on the side....until ''[[The Dark Knight Strikes Again]]'' came out. After that, ''Whatever Happened To The Caped Crusader'' (a direct reference to the above) became more fitting an end.
* ''[[Preacher (Comic Book)|Preacher]]'''s ''Alamo'' ended with {{spoiler|a final showdown between Jesse and Cassidy, Tulip executing Herr Starr, and The Saint Of Killers taking his vengeance against God.}}
* In ''[[The Sandman]]'', the climax is reached in ''The Kindly Ones'' where characters from all other points in the time line come together in one ''hell'' of a story, propelling a long and complex string of events which eventually leads to {{spoiler|Dream's death and resurrection inside Daniel.}} The lengthy aftermath is depicted in ''The Wake,'' where it's demonstrated that the previous events had such gravity that they affected everyone in existence. Including [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|you.]]
* ''[[Crisis on Infinite Earths]]''. Grand Finale to the [[Silver Age]] (though it was actually released at the end of the [[Bronze Age]])? Check. Grand Finale to the DC Multiverse? Check. Grand Finale for [[The Flash|Barry Allen]], [[Supergirl]], Earth-2 [[Superman]], and just about everyone else in the DC Universe? Check. Became the comic event by which all previous and succeeding comic events would be judged? Double Check. Became <s>one of</s> the only company-wide comic event to permanently rip the [[Timey-Wimey Ball]] a new one, and do it so as to be universally praised? Gigantic freakin' Check.
* ''[[Final Crisis]]'' serves as a Grand Finale for the "multiverse" [[Crisis Crossover|crisis]] series (which includes ''[[Crisis on Infinite Earths]]'', ''[[Infinite Crisis]]'', and ''[[Fifty Two|52]]'') and the "hero exploration" crisis series (which includes ''[[Identity Crisis]]'' and ''[[Infinite Crisis]]''). It also gives a Grand Finale to [[Jack Kirby]]'s DC creations [[Darkseid]], the [[New Gods]], and others like Dan Turpin.
