The Rundown: Superman and Batman are trapped on a parallel Earth and must turn to its villains for help.
After finding Brainiac working on a multiverse experiment, Superman and Batman rush to stop him and find themselves thrown to Earth 3 where they are captured and help until Owlman and Ultraman discover them. Riddler moves in to rescue the pair and they make their way to a secret base with other villains and a plan to find a way to get home while distracting their doubles.
As the plan goes into effect, some of the villains are confronted by Owlman and Ultraman forcing Superman to rush in and fight. A fight that takes some twists and turns as the heroes show the villains of Earth 3 that they can be more.
The Story: Waid and Russell craft a fun, action packed adventure in this issue. I like the preamble with Brainiac and the action throughout the issue. My only complaint is that the story ends way too fast for me to be as immersed in it as I was with the previous issue. This is a short arc that sets up so many interesting things that I really think it needed another issue to flesh out the story and make its conclusion satisfying.
The Art: To creates some great art throughout the issue. I really like the character designs and the action is visually thrilling.
