This is a awesome fucking issue.

So for 8 issues everything is building up. Last issue ended with a BOOM and a ton of people paid the price for it. Similar to what happened to Dr. Manhattan now happens to Superman. The news reports are coming in saying Superman didn't stop Firestorm from hurting everyone but Batman knows better. Batman knows the truth.

The justice league, justice league dark, titans, green lanterns, and just about any other hero you can think of decide to head into space to face off against Dr. Manhattan. The meeting goes okay at first, with them trying to be peaceful about it. However, when they get a reading of why Dr. Manhattan is doing what he's doing they all attack. With some successful attacks they think they can take Dr. Manhattan on but we know better, don't we?

Good: The art remains fantastic. Deep emotional moments are on display here, but the fights...oh man so good. Also, the story moves so quick in this volume despite Dr. Manhattan being a wordy motherfucker at times. Every time he says something or makes a point you feel on edge. Watching the heroes fight a force that's nearly impossible to stop is both scary and super entertaining.

Bad: Nothing.

This is a excellent issue. This series keeps ramping up every issue. I can't wait to see how it ends. A 5 out of 5.
