This book has been a fairly intriguing ride into the dark side of the DC Universe. I have to say that I am enjoying this very much. I wasn’t sure at first how it would fare, but I have to say that it has been a very interesting read for sure.

The Crime Syndicate has crossed the line for the last time apparently.

Alexander Luthor isn’t happy about this at all. He demands that they give everyone on the earth the justice that they deserve. He is hell bent on this!

A bunch of oddball characters join together to form the Legion of Justice on this Earth!

It is filled with characters like Thaal Sinestro, the Red Hood, and a bunch of others under the command of Alexander Luthor.

They only have one task in mind: Stopping the Crime Syndicate.

We get to see them trying to track down the Crime Syndicate. They eventually confront them. It is one hell of a conflict that left me wanting more. It also has an incredible cliffhanger.

Bryan Hitch illustrates the back up story, which is the origin story of Johnny Quick. It is really a lot of fun and the story is well drawn.

Overall, this is pretty good and I did enjoy it.

RATING: B
