Review by Library Journal Review

When the vast multiverse of worlds begins to crumble, Superman's nemesis, the sinister alien villain Brainiac, grabs what he can, collecting fragments of dying realities and pitting them against one another in a battle to the death to see who is deserving of continued existence. Only a select group of heroes composed of alternate versions of beloved characters such as Superman, Batman (this time around it's Thomas Wayne, father of Bruce, beneath the mask), a female Flash, and the Green Lantern can prevent a devastating war and set reality back to the status quo-or something. This volume is crammed with nonstop action and episode, but most of it seems somewhat incidental, as though dynamic visuals and epic explosions might mask an incredible lack of plot or meaningful content. This is the kind of superhero story people who denigrate superhero stories without having read any are picturing: a massive blurt of dynamic action ultimately signifying nothing. Verdict While this title might have appeal to anyone delighted by alternate reality versions of their favorite characters or DC comics obsessives, most readers will find it an incomprehensible slog.-Thomas L.
