This is another beautiful graphic novel pencilled and painted (watercolor) by Alex Ross. This is an epic story where Lex Luthor and Brainiac team up to defeat the JLA. They almost do. There are moments where the heroes talk about having to lose sometime. But no one dies, well except millions of human. I guess they don't count. No one of import in the comic world dies. Luthor goes to prison, Brainiac flies off into deep space, and Aquaman grows his brain back. That's right, Aquaman can regrow the portion of brain that Brainiac cut out. I guess we can add that power to his already accomplished resume. The story was engaging enough, but I bought it to see Ross' beautiful artwork. If only Ross would work with some of the industry's best writers that would be something really beautiful.
