Wasn't Crisis originally called History of the DC Universe? I remember an ad with a silhouette of the Monitor running through the mags quite a bit before Crisis started.

Since the story wasn't fully formed (the Monitor was originally supposed to be the Big Bad I think), those early silhouette appearances with Lyla/Harbinger-to-be, that were scattered throughout various titles, don't make much sense within the context of Crisis either. What's kind of neat is that Mark Waid was a writer/editor at Amazing Heroes during this period.

The whole idea of The Monitor as an arms dealer for the badguys in order to catalog the heroes abilities for the upcoming Crisis is one of the weaker ideas of the series...Think OUTSIDE the Box! For the BEST in Repro & Custom Packaging!Comment

Okay, it was DC Universe: Crisis on Infinite Earths.
And yes, it's clear that the Monitor was intended to be an actual villain, with some major back-pedalling to explain his villainous actions later.

"The History of the DC Universe" was originally supposed to have a fold-out timeline in each issue (a 3-issue mini-series to boot, not 2) but that was scrapped.
The timeline did show up eventually in the final issue of "Zero Hour".Think OUTSIDE the Box! For the BEST in Repro & Custom Packaging!Comment

The 1990 fall preview issue has Neil gaiman claiming that at issue 20ish they were halfway through The Sandman, which he said was going to end with issue 40. He managed to squeeze out much more issues and related books.
They also claimed that the "long awaited" Titans graphic novel by Perez and Wolfman was finally coming out.
Daredevil Year 1 was a hardcover graphic novel... Eventually came out as the Daredevil Man without fear mini.
