The Rundown: Four stories chronicle heroes as they face new and growing threats.
Imperiled
Imps from the fifth dimension who worship the heroes of Earth continue their violent debate about who is the best hero after Bat-Mite and Mxyzptlk call them for a meeting at their version of the Hall of Justice. After getting nowhere in their meeting, Mxyzptlk tries to get them in line by telling them that they are in danger. Unfortunately, they will find out too late that he is right.
A fun, entertaining and surprising story filled with interesting moments and the tease of a more compelling story to come.
The Ties That Bind
Metamorpho finds himself on another mission for Simon Stagg. A mission that will send him to Markovia to recover a powerful artifact. A mission that will also bring him face to face with his past and a question about whether or not he is a real hero considering who he works for and why.
An entertaining story that delivers a great insight into the character of Metamorpho along with asking the big question that fans of the character constantly consider. The story has great art throughout filled with great details.
Sting Like a Bee
Karen Beecher aka Bumblebee learns about a corrupt company working in her neighborhood and decides to investigate it in order to get answers. Utilizing her engineering skills and gadgets, she breaks into the local factory to discover its dark truth.
An entertaining and compelling story that does a fantastic job of showcasing a small, local story that is done really well.
Time Check
The Challengers of the Unknown receive a mission from Batman and find themselves investigating a rip in space-time. As they think back on the moments that brought them together, they enter the rip in order to help a scientist trapped inside.
An entertaining story that makes me want to see more from these characters.
