It's an anthology of three stories, starting off with the <strong>Planetary/The Authority</strong> cross-over <em><strong>&quot;Ruling the World&quot;</strong></em> which I liked the least of the three. But then again, I don't really follow <strong>The Authority</strong> so that may account for it. The...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/57206614">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Okay, two of the three stories don't necessarily fit into Wildstorm canon. Hell, Planetary/JLA is an Elseworlds title, so it doesn't fit anywhere. Both are good - but not great - stories.

    <body><![CDATA[Planetary continued, but not as enjoyable as the others. It's odd - Planetary is really all about looking at the strange origins and history of the genre, but they don't seem to work very well in cross-overs. The &quot;shifting Batman&quot; story was just terrible, I'm sorry to say.]]></body>
