Throughout the Dawn of DC, Amanda Waller's combination of pure ruthlessness and dangerous alliances has placed her on the precipice of fulfilling her pledge-the elimination of all metahuman abilities planetwide. This summer, her plans take a major step forward with Absolute Power, DC's big summer blockbuster from Mark Waid and Dan Mora, as Waller uses the strategic and military might of Failsafe and the otherworldly technology of the Brainiac Queen to steal all metahuman abilities from every super hero and super-villain around the globe!

Now, we all turn our attention to House of Brainiac for the latest in what will be the final bridge before Absolute Power kicks off for the summer. The FCBD Absolute Power Special Edition is a nice little treat while we wait. Read Full Review
I'm not sold on this event yet. Mark Waid's script is perfunctory at best here. It seems like a means to an end rather than a story that Waid genuinely wants to be telling. I'm not engaging with it at all. I read this and the Blood Hunt FCBD issue pretty much back to back, and the difference in tone was palpable. These are both events with a morose sort of vibe to them, but one manages to be fun and the other manages to drag me down.
