Four two-issue mini-series by 10 writers and 11 artists are collected in this anthology of superhero gobbledygook. Following the most recent big crossover event -- Dark Nights: Death Metal, which I haven't read yet -- we're given an epilogue of a possible future peopled with new people taking up the mantles of classic heroes like Wonder Woman, Batman, Superman, Aquaman, etc. Everything is all dark and bleak, but the new heroes hammer home the theme of hope in the face of doom.

The art is a fine enough example of house style adherence, but the writing is pretty mediocre, with the Flash chapters being almost unreadable.

I know there's a complex history of aborted storylines and editorial 180s behind this, but it mostly stinks of the old let's throw everything at the wall and see what sticks approach to comic book publishing. It's a funny coincidence that I'm currently posting #ThrowbackThursday reviews from DC's similar Tangent Comics event from the 1990s that imagined a world of new characters bearing familiar old names.
