Following the final battle of the New Gods, Darkseid tumbles
through time, coming to rest on Earth where he gathers together a cast army of
super villains tasked to eliminate the greatest threats to his plan. Martian
Manhunter, Green Lantern Hal Jordan, Batman, Superman, and many more of the
universe’s greatest heroes will be drawn into the most important battle they
will ever face, as time and space is sucked out of existence and the very fabric
of reality is fading away. (from the back of the comic book)
Review: The end is nigh and all the Heroes of the Universe must stand against Darkseid. Told with bright, splashy art, complex lines, and creative use of panels, this fast-paced action-heavy story takes us with all the Heroes (and Villains) as they battle to save the very fabric of reality.
The story was a bit confusing at times. It felt large leaps
where made that left the reader attempting to fill in the gabs. But that aside,
this is a terrifying story of ultimate control and what it will cost to free
the world. Heroes die. Those that should fight, don't. Betrayal and death
abound. It's a tense story and worth reading, with depth and complexity. But
has a lack of cohesion that detracts from what could have been THE story in the
DC Universe.
