Infinite Crisis and Crisis on Infinite Earths

 * The four major storylines of Infinite Crisis (Day of Vengeance, Rann-Thanagar War, The OMAC Project and Villains United) are all mirrors or reversals of storylines in Crisis on Infinite Earths.
 * Villains United mirrors the actions of Lex Luthor and Brainiac's unification of the DC villains in CoIE during their takeover of three alternate Earths.
 * The OMAC Project can be interpreted as a mirror of the shadow demons used by the Anti-Monitor, with similarities in their indiscriminate killing of heroes and villains alike.
 * Day of Vengeance is a reversal the Spectre's role in the two stories. Whereas he was an ally whose powers were enhanced by the various DC magic wielders in CoIE, he plays a more villainous role as he slaughters many sorcerors and other spellcasters in IC.
 * The Rann-Thanagar War
