Overview

• DC Comics releases the crossover by writer Al Ewing with art by Giuseppe Camuncoli and Stefano Nesi, colors by Romulo Fajardo Jr., and letters by Tom Napolitano.
• The issue convenes antagonists from across Absolute titles for a strategy meeting in response to the rise of superheroes.
• The story explicitly ties the imprint’s books together by outlining the connective history of Absolute Earth, a world presented as one where evil already holds power.
• Early reviews commend Ewing’s chilling character work—especially on the Joker and Ra’s al Ghul—while assessments of the art range from solid to stellar.
• Critics describe the finale as a shocking statement of intent that tees up cross-title developments without requiring prior Absolute reading.
