For a "slug-o-thon" this wasn't bad. I liked the bickering of the Superman's and each version of the hero seemed to have a distinct personality. My biggest problem was how powerful Monarch is. If 3 Superman's, 3 Wonder Woman's, 3 Firestorms, and 3 Green Lanterns, can barely scratch him, I think he's basically the most powerful person in the DC universe. Also not a fan of the art. ( )

On paper, this seems like it could be a good book: the heroes of various worlds in the multiverse are gathered together to fight it out. Like, Communist Superman from Red Son battles two other alternate Supermen to find out which one is best. But Monarch is in this, and he is terrible, and so is the whole book. Poorly characterized nonentities hit each other and "banter" in the trademark detail-free, ugly drawing style of Scott McDaniel. Save your money, save yourself, never read this book, it has literally no redeeming value. I can't think of a single thing I enjoyed about it; it's pointless and stupid. Thankfully time seems to be dulling my memories of it.
