    "War Zone!" Written by Marv Wolfman. Art by George Perez and Jerry Ordway. This one is big. The dastardly duo of Brainiac and Lex Luthor assemble the greatest force for evil the multiverse has ever seen. With the heroes distracted by the Crisis, the villains of the DCU unite into an army the likes of which has never been seen before and perform a coup de tat on the remaining Earths. Can the heroes mount a counter attack and still remain vigilant against the Anti-Monitor? Plus, Guy Gardner, arguably the most rash character in the DCU, is finally given the Power Ring that was always meant to be his. Featuring the death of the Golden Age Lex Luthor of Earth-2 and Aquagirl. Cover price $0.75.
