okay, so by some great luck, I happened to ask a local comic retailer if they had the entire set of IC. The did not have any in the racks, but unluckily for some poor bloke who had not been coming in to collect his prebooked comics, the store person let me buy his entire set. How cool is that? I just could not wait for the TPBK.

Anyway, there were some things that I did not manage to catch after reading so much about this miniseries in the forums and I was hoping someone could help out -

1. I heard that Superboy Prime's punches retconned things like Jason Todd's return. Where does it say that in the miniseries ?

2. I heard Batman asked Nightwing to lead a team against Alex Luthor because he is the only one who could. From what I read, it looked like Batman just asked Nightwing to do it because he had other things to do. Not at all special like what I was led to believe. Which is disappointing as NW is my fav DC character. I wanted to see him kick butt in a more major way that I saw.

Anyway, overall, the series rocked. I can't wait to reread it today for a second time.

You need to get INFINITE CRISIS SECRET FILES 2006 and BATMAN ANNUAL # 25 (2006) to get the details on this.

1. As Buried Allen indicated, Superboy-Prime's "retcon. punches" were fully explained in Infinite Crisis Secret Files 2006 and Batman Annual #25. However, they were touched upon in Infinite Crisis #4.

2. In Infinite Crisis #4, Batman asks Nightwing to "gather the heroes" because they trust him and he has a better connection to them all (Batman also has to deal with the Brother Eye satellite - a mistake of his own). But amidst the chaos, none of the heroes except for Superboy were able to show up. So Nightwing & Superboy set out for Alex Luthor's tower on their own. He led the charge against Luthor, Superboy-Prime, and a legion of OMACs with just Superboy & Wonder Girl ... not a small feat at all.
