"Anti-Life is the answer."

Darkseid, evil ruler of Apokolips, has long sought for the Anti-Life Equation, a proof that gives it's user complete control over life. His plans have been thwarted by Earth's heroes, but now that Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and the Flash are taken off the table, he has free reign. Can the rest of DC's heroes band together to stop this multiversal threat?

I am a big fan of Grant Morrison's work. Similar to most of their work, this book is quite fun, however, it is a bit hard to understand what's happening. The cool moments in the book are weighed down by the nigh-impenetrable plot. I did enjoy this one, but I feel like it's one that will take multiple re-reads to really understand.
