Nick Spencer (Morning Glories) assembles the cream of the crop of the next generation of DCU super-heroes in this issue - Robin, Static, Miss Martian, Blue Beetle, Batgirl, the new Impulse - to team up with Supergirl and take on a new villain who promises to define this generation as much as Darkseid, Lex Luthor and The Joker did prior ones. Good luck, kids!
Except the writer has quit already, so I have now idea what this issue will be like.
