Comment: It is difficult to assign an Old Earth / New Earth designation
to the members of Infinity, Inc., as there is no clear break in their adventures
before and after the effects of the Crisis takes place. We have assigned
the break to this issue, since it is the one after which the LAST DAYS
OF THE JUSTICE SOCIETY SPECIAL first occurs.
Synopsis: The Infinitors learn from Dr. Fate of the Justice Society's
removal from the mortal plane, and must deal with their grief and inform
the JSA's friends and family of their departure.
