Whether the team realizes it or not, their unexpected escape was part of Constantine's plan. Several issues ago, Constantine mentioned that Deadman will be insurance against…
The best laid schemes of mice and men often go awry. However, the plans of our super men and women have finally started to come together. Victory has come fairly easy for the bloodsucking regime ruling the DC Universe, but this may be the chance to meaningfully flip the script! This week in DC Vs.…

Alex Paknadel and Matthew Rosenberg have managed to craft a nihilistic rescue mission set…
