The destructive spells of Circe pull the gods of myth into combat, leaving it up to Earths superheroes to prevent the gods from. Giving Superman the bulk of the focus allows the story to take a deep breath before submerging into the abyss again. Regardless, Tom Taylor tweaks her origin story for narrative purposes to set up the new major antagonist.Īlthough it features New Genesis, it is only a tease of the major conflict. I always find it odd when Elseworlds utilize legacy characters like Jon and Damian, but delay the involvement of their predecessors like Jason Todd (as seen in Batman: White Knight Presents: Red Hood). Similar to Injustice, Kara is brought in as a late stage addition to the universe. This issue also marks the introduction of Kara Zor-El. Unfortunately, it is only a prelude till the infected gods of New Genesis start this crisis all over again. Fortunately, this means the original Superman has regained his sanity.
