This is DC’s big event book for the summer.
Yet, I have to be honest, it feels a bit light. I love Joshua Williamson as a writer and he certainly does a capable job here.
It just feels like there wasn’t enough growth between this and the previous event book (Death Metal) to really justify it’s existence.
Maybe they will prove me wrong with this book, however.
It starts off with the Green Lantern Alan Scott looking for some of his former allies. Death Metal put everything back together for the most part but there are still some of them missing.
Alan is determined to find them.
His quest takes him to some really interesting places. He follows his path as best he can but starts to learn that some of these heroes do not want to be found.
Roy Harper is one of those displaced heroes who doesn’t know where he fits in anymore. We get to see Roy a bit. He is not in a good place as this series begins.
What does this all mean for the fate of the DC Universe?
President Superman and the Flash try to figure out the answer to that question. Lurking behind everything is a group called the Justice Incarnate.
Also, what does the villainous Darkseid have to do with it all?
The story is well told. Williamson writes a great script. The art is fairly good as well. It does all feel a bit half baked. I just hope that there are enough ideas put forth and good storytelling to make this a worthwhile journey.
RATING: B+
