The Pulse.

An action packed issue with vary creative teams setting up what’s next for Dreamer, Superboy/man, Mercy Graves and Power Girl. Ecclectic stories from ecclectic creatives teams. Intrigued by what’s next for the Superman coroner of Dawn of DC. Purpose of oneshot was more promotional I think and some stories appear stronger than others (Superboy/man and Power Girl), but I remain intrigued by Mercy’s next chapter too. 7 out of 10.
