Another dazzlingly wild and complex crossover, seven mini-series bookended with a zero issue and a one issue to wrap it all up. This is the first half, with Zatanna, Klarion, Shining Knight and the Guardian, heroes recruited unbeknownst to themselves in a war against a powerful race from the far future that feeds off flourishing civilisations. From a doomed mission to track down a giant spider in an Arizona Mesa, to a tabloid vigilante - literally a vigilante funded by a tabloid - to a support group for traumatised superheroes to a community of witchy puritans living under Manhattan and an Arthurian knight who has fallen through time, the nightmarish Sheeda are creeping back ready to devour the world.
