    <body><![CDATA[I know that this was one of those epic comic storylines of the 90s.  And on its face, it's a good story - war is about to break out between the generations of superhumans and everyone, super and regular, will suffer for it.  Will the older generation of heroes like Superman and Wonder Woman abandon ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38806324">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A previous review summed up my feelings on this - Alex Ross does kick-ass covers, but once you get over the fact that his panels look &quot;really life like!&quot; you realize that life-like isn't what you want out of a comic.

His art is still an impressive feat, and I think my feelings towards it are in a small minority.
