So what happens?We start out in
Wonderworld, the planet where everyone is a very, very
big superhero pledged to destroy
Mageddon. Wonder Woman and Barda visit there with the New God Metron and discover that everyone there is
dead. A dying
Wonderworlder, the Mote, tells them that Mageddon rose and caused the Wonderworlders to attack and destroy each other. Things look
grim...
Back at the
Watchtower, Mister Miracle and Orion are briefing the League on the coming of Mageddon: it is an insanely powerful
weapon of the Old Gods, lost for
eons but now re-emerging, bringing
war wherever it goes. If the Wonderworlders couldn't stop it, there isn't much chance for anyone. Things look grimmer...
And just to complicate matters even more, a new Injustice Gang is forming at Prometheus' house in the
Phantom Zone. Consisting of Lex Luthor, Prometheus, the General, and the Queen Bee, an evolved alien
bee with an army of soldiers at her command, they have discovered a secret
backdoor into the Watchtower through the
Phantom Zone. Things are getting really, really grim...
Back on the Watchtower, it's discovered that Prometheus' helmet has disappeared from the trophy room, Mageddon's
influence is causing worldwide
military tensions, there's a mysterious
bug in Oracle's computer systems...and of course, that's when the Injustice Gang chooses to attack. Prometheus confronts Oracle in her
computer lab, the General and the Queen Bee start shooting people in the Watchtower, and Luthor starts detonating hidden
bombs planted inside the Watchtower. Grim, grim, grim...
Cool Moments!The whole thing's pretty
heavy.
Cool Quotes!Prometheus, meeting Oracle for the first time: "You're Oracle? A girl in a
wheelchair is Oracle. Well, say
goodnight, Oracle."
