    Too far out

    I will be the first person to say I am glad the multiverse is back; now if we can only get the Justice Society back to Earth 2 where they rightfully belong but this book is very weak.  Let me say that I have found it this way for several reasons; There was a good potential for several superheroes to work together (all Superman-eske) yet within the first issue two get taken out like nothing; Billy Batson is rendered useless and Overman is attacked by the person who recruited him (does this mean he is dead?  A superman class hero taken out with no effort? . . . . whatever.  And the next is the weird twilight zone like limbo where everyone forgets just about everything but there is a book, a simple book that can fix all reality?  Come on guys at least leave a story like this up to the Specter or Dr. Fate, isn't this more their speed anyway, especially with the surreal setting?

      First the good.  I'm glad that they decided to include Superman in this most recent crisis, as opposed to him just sitting by Lois' side the whole time.  I also liked the Captain Adam character that looked a lot like Dr. Manhattan, which is a good nod to Watchmen.  That's about it for the good.Now the bad.  First the obvious: the 3-D art sucked.  I cannot emphaize that enough.  Since no one is really willing to use the glasses, the 3-D "art" just makes your eyes hurt.  Also, the plot was confusi...
