    In hindsight, if DC was going to keep doing these events anyway, they probably should not have made Final Crisis the actual Final Crisis. It's become a DC brand--just like Wars is a Marvel brand. So why give up something that they've claimed as their own? And Crisis fits nicely with DC--Danged Crisis. While you gotta try harder to fit War into Marvel (turn the W upside down to make an M and then add Vel).

    I think that the Crisis hasn't become coventional for most DC fictional characters because one Crisis tends to overwrite the other. They don't remember most of these events.

    It's like an annual event now. You can't call something a crisis if it happens all the time.

    May as well call it **** That Happens Regularly on Infinite Earths.
    In Garth Ennis Hitman the characters just spent time in pub "It's that time of year again. Once we would have worried if sun went out for three days. Now we treat it like an annual holiday while we wait for big guys to sort it out."

    To be fair...as Buried Alien argued earlier...I don't think DC have used Crisis label that much. They maybe have overdone regular annual event. I certainly feel that way, but then I don't like big event comics.

    When something that is a crisis happens regularly, it's called normal.

    Normal Stuff On Infinite Boring Earths

    And my post was kind of rhetorical. I love comic lore.

    Ironically, you would think an event with the word "Final" in the title would feel like the concluding chapter in a series of connected stories. It didn't. At least to me, FC never felt like an "Official" Crisis story (compared to COIE & IC). It felt more like 7 Soldiers of Victory Part II or Final Crisis of the New Gods/Kirby's 4th World. The Legion of 3 Worlds tie-in mini felt more Crisis-ey (if there's such a thing) than the main series.

    Funny thing is that the name Crisis was far more frequent pre crisis than it was post crisis. It used to just mean an event where the JLA and JSA teamed up to face a multiverse threat. That's why COIE was big because it efffected every Earth.

    FINAL CRISIS was missing Perez or Perez-like art.

    You're right Semi-Final Crisis and Not-So-Final Crisis arent very exciting titles.

    I don't remember where i erad this, but in at least one interview, Morrison said the "Final" part in Final Crisis is referencing the Monitors' fate.

    Also, there was a pretty long time when Crisises were literally annual. Crisis on Earth-Two/Earth-One/Earth-X/Apokalypse/Earth-Prime/Earth-S/The Future, etc.

    Those were names of stories for the annual JLA/JSA meetings; they weren't anywhere near the scale of Crisis on Infinite Earths and weren't annual "the world is about to end . . . some heroes will die; some heroes will be born; and some will never be the same AGAIN!!!!" MEGA-EVENTS WUTH UMPTEEN-GAZILLION CROSS-OVERS/TIE-INS!!!
    "Crisis on Earth-X!" was a story that took place in two issues of Justice League of America back in 1973. No actual present-day superheroes were actually harmed in that adventure.

    I'm well aware. I've got all of the Crisis on Multiple Earths trades, and have read all but the last few Pre-Crisis Crisis stories, the ones that haven't been reprinted yet. They were still Crisises.
