Comic Reviews
JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED #17 (Dc Comics)
DC K.O. has ended. Superman saved the day. Everything is back to normal, right?
That couldn’t be more farther from the truth.
BATMAN/SUPERMAN: WORLDS FINEST #49 (DC COMICS)
Superman and Batman have stepped into the wrong universe.
Earth-3 is a far cry from their stomping grounds. It is the home to Ultraman and Owlman. The evil versions of the Finest have taken the originals hostage. What they have planned is nothing good.
DC KO #5 (DC COMICS)
In the end, only one can be King.
Darkseid’s return to the DCU sparked a challenge heroes have never felt. More powerful than ever before, the former Lord of Apokolips came back to claim another universe. A dangerous power held the key to his defeat, Extreme sacrifice was needed to acquire it.
JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED #16 (Dc Comics)
A traitor walks amongst “The Terrific Ten”!
As Mr. Terrific leads a time-displaced squad of heroes into Hell itself, the devilish landscape seems to have corrupted another good soul. Neron’s manipulations appear to have succeeded where others have failed. With no one able to help, Terrific must go this alone. The lives of millions rest on his shoulders.
BATMAN/SUPERMAN: WORLDS FINEST #48 (DC COMICS)
No matter what universe they have versions in, Superman and Batman have been connected as a dominant pairing.
They have earned the moniker of “World’s Finest” for a reason. The pair represents what is means being a superhero. On another Earth, this is not the case.
DC KO #4 (DC COMICS)
Four remain in the fight to become Absolute Champion.
Superman, Lex Luthor, Wonder Woman and the Joker are the DCU’s last hope. One will emerge as champion but they will have earned it.
Darkseid has been waiting for this moment as well. Knowing that the tourney was commencing, he plotted as he possessed Booster Gold. The former Lord of Apokolips will not go down quietly. He has assembled his champions. A trinity of heroes in his dark, cruel world.
JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED #15 (Dc Comics)
What makes the soul of a hero?
Mr. Terrific is finding out the hard way. With the majority of the JLU tied up with DC K.O., Terrific has been leading a group of time-displaced heroes on an impossible mission. Neron has returned in this time of crisis. Augmenting power of lower-tier villains has opened up more trouble than expected.
BATMAN/SUPERMAN: WORLDS FINEST #47 (DC COMICS)
Batman AND Superman’s secret identities exposed?!
The (literal) combined forces of Lex Luthor And The Joker have become one as Merger! They have been given access to this information by the Absorbascon. With this great power comes greater irresponsibility. The world’s finest come together as Fusion to fight back, but is it already too late?
DC KO #3 (DC COMICS)
The numbers are dwindling, but the stakes are getting higher.
Darkseid is coming. The heroes of the DCU know this won’t be an ordinary fight with the former Lord of Apokolips. He has leveled up. So must they.
They have entered into a tourney to become Absolute Champion. The prize is the Heart of Apokolips. It will not come easy. Those entered know sacrifice is involved. It has resulted with friends fighting friends. Allies turning into enemies. Dark Horses sneaking in to steal victory.

“The road to Hell is paved with good intentions”, eh?
Tell that to Mr. Terrific. With the heavy hitters of the JLU tied up with DC K.O., there is a void to handle threats. Terrific puts together a team of time displaced heroes to handle the problem. Little did they know this mission would take them to Hell. Literally.
