This is a fully painted 12 issue series by Alex Ross. What more needs to be said? Really? It takes place in an alternate universe. Obviously! Hell, the whole DC Universe is an alternate universe. Right? But, thier version of the "Legion of Doom" has decided to systematically wipe all heroes out of existence. First as an idea of necessity. Then actually, wipe them out. The "Bad Guys" have banded together and are using all of their knowledge to wipe out all inequities across the face of the globe. Basically, to change their image, but also to erase the need for heroes. Once the need for heroes is erased, then whatever happens to them is less important. Green Lantern is trapped in some kind of dimension that he can't find his way out of. Superman has been hurtled into the sun by Shazam. Batman, whose cave has been taken over by Poison Ivy, is also in her control. So when Wonder Woman trys to rescue him, at first she is thrown back by a counter attack of Batman's. However, with her lasso, she's got him calmed down. Hawkman & Hawkwoman are in a fight for their life in a Brainiac factory. The Justice League satellite has been blown to bits, and with it Red Tornado. And the Flash is racing around the globe over, and over, and over again and can't stop. Lot's of action. Lot's of "Team-Ups". Lots of beautifully painted pages. Add to that a couple sketch pages at the end of each issue by Alex, and you have a must have book. The only negative, it comes out every other month. But hey, if the guys going to paint every page, I think we can give him a little time in between. He's going to need some serious down time after this book is done. But luckily, we got 6 more issues to go. Enjoy!!!!
