Mera’s people come back to seek the death of Aquaman and Hawkman and Hawkgirl are on a new world where men birds are at war with men lions. Our heroes are caught in the crossfire and may well be the next meals of the various factions. Oh, Mera reveals her real reason for travelling to Aquaman’s dimension. I liked the sections with Aquaman and the reveal of the big secret plot. It’s about time. Now, because Geoff Johns is involved, we know that he’s going to be rewriting a lot of history. The Hawkman and Hawkgirl segment was violent and it was fun to read the section because it felt that the writers really knew the characters. The artwork colouring for the Aquaman section was painful. The pencils were strong, but the colours destroyed the experience. The storytelling was not as clear in the Hawkman and Hawkgirl section.

Rating: 8/10
