Spoilers and Review:
The book opens with Mister Terrific warning the super-heroes including the Green Lantern Corps that infinite Earths are returning too fast in this new Infinite Multiverse.
While the GLC fight shadow demons on Oa (or Mogo?) around the Central Power Battery, Earth’s super-heroes fight Pariah’s Great Darkness harnessed forces.
Deathstroke is not pleased that Pariah has reneged on their agreement which may just be Pariah having being corrupted by the Great Darkness… maybe?
Elsewhere, the core super-heroes of the Justice League are ready to return home from the various worlds that Pariah fabricated for them.
Knowing the risks, they still attempt to get back to Earth.
Jace Fox’s New York City Batman enters the event alongside fellow new age trinity with Jon Kent Superboy Superman and Yara Flor Wonder Woman Girl.
Pariah flexes on the heroes and kills a few:
- Firestorm
- Steel
- Booster Gold
- Blue Beetle
- Connor Hawke
Jace Fox Batman is also a bit of technology expert, learned from his family, and begins tinkering with Pariah’s doomsday device.
Jon Kent Superman buys him time by taking on the Dark Army almost singlehanded.
Jace Fox gets Pariah’s weapon to work on him and Pariah is seemingly killed?!
Jon Kent Superman’s efforts bought Jace Fox Batman the time he needed, but Kent now seemingly is out of energy and done as Doomsday is set to attack.
Looks like the Justice League safely returned as Clark Kent Superman saves his son!
With renewed energy, together they take down Doomsday!
The rest of the Justice League along with the Green Lantern Corps enter the fight on Earth.
Roy Harper Arsenal is back, but he can’t find his mentor Oliver Queen Green Arrow.
Despite seemingly dying, Pariah’s death is not enough to stop the spread of the Great Darkness that threatens existence.
With Pariah gone, a new big dad takes his place, and its Deathstroke, but is he in control of his faculties or is the Great Darkness or something or someone else corrupting him?
Next Up:
Event finale next week with Batman / Superman / Green Lantern as Fusion vs. Deathstroke among other battles in Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths #7 (of 7).
