Infinite Crisis #1

Everything is falling apart. In the ruins of the JLA Watchtower, the disagreement between Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman reaches a breaking point, and they battle Mongul. In the Polaris Galaxy, a cosmic storm interrupts the war between Thanagar & Rann, and threatens to destroy the universe; while back on Earth, Donna Troy is gathering a group of heroes--including Supergirl & Starfire--to leave Earth to battle the cosmic threat. Near Metropolis, the Freedom Fighters battle members of the Secret Society of Super-Villains, with deadly consequences. The Spectre destroys the Rock of Eternity, raining chaos over Gotham City. A multitude of OMACs are gathering, but for what purpose? All seems lost... But beyond space and time, four mysterious figures break out of their pocket dimension: The original super-hero, Superman of Earth-2, along with Lois Lane of Earth-2, Superboy of Earth-Prime, and Alexander Luthor of Earth-3!
