Final Crisis: Revelations is a five-issue comic book limited series written by Greg Rucka, with art by Philip Tan, Jeff De Los Santos, and Jonathan Glapion.
It was nominated for "Outstanding Comic Book" in the GLAAD Media Awards.
Grant Morrison, writer of the main Final Crisis series, asked if Geoff Johns and Greg Rucka would write the two main "companion" limited series. Johns began work on Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds, while Rucka began work on a project with the in-house name "Street Crisis", a look at how Final Crisis affected the DC Universe at a street level. However, Rucka concluded that this would not provide sufficient material for a full mini-series.
Rucka discussed the project with DC executive editor Dan DiDio. Eventually, they decided to have the mini-series focus on two of Rucka's most notable characters: Renee Montoya (who had recently become the Question) and Crispus Allen (who had recently become the Spectre), Rucka said that he and DiDio had realised "you can't really have a 'Crisis' in the DC Universe without The Spectre playing a fairly substantial part."
In interviews Rucka has stated that the core of this series will deal with Crispus Allen struggling with his position as the Spectre, noting that unlike other Spectre hosts, Allen is deeply dissatisfied with his situation, in large part because his first assignment was the killing of his own son.
DC Universe #0 had a one-page promo for the series showing Dr. Light, with a large caption stating "SHOW NO MERCY".
The story, in large part, takes place in Gotham City on the day that the Anti-Life Equation is unleashed in Final Crisis #3.
