Writer Mark Waid, coming from his popular work on Flash and Impulse, and artist Alex Ross, who broke new ground with the beautifully painted Marvels, join together for this explosive book that takes place in a dark alternate future of the DC Superhero Universe.

Rating: - AWESOME G-NOVEL - GOT ME BACK INTO DC COMICS!
If you love Elseworld plots, tons of characters new and old, end of the world stories, Justice League, and the Superman vs Captain Marvel battle, this novel is one of the finest ever written. Each page is a work of art, the story is geared towards older readers, set in a near future anti-utopian world. I was pretty much done with comics after college, so I shifted to graphic novels thanks to Miller's Dark Knight Returns, read tons of G-Novels, and then started to put them down for good.

Rating: - Amazing art and story
This is a definitive comic in the industry. It is classic Alex Ross with superb art and a deep involving story with some political undertones. The story is amazing and sucks you in as you see it through the eyes of a ministers who is being shown the entire thing by The Spectre in the classic style of the ghosts in A Christmas Carol. I will not get into the story other than to say it is inspired. The art is top notch, the pacing is great and the ending is well thought out and powerful.

Rating: - Good story, great art!
If you like alternative history, this is a great graphic novel for you. The artwork is wonderful and the story idea that superheroes' values have changed over time with those of society is very thought-provoking.

I'd highly recommend this one, especially for someone who maybe isn't normally into comix.
