Infinite Crisis - Part One by Greg Cox


Superheroes around the world are facing three threats; one from a group of supervillians who have banded together and led by Lex Luther; the second threat is from an advance security system created by Batman to watch other superheroes. The system eventually began thinking on its own coming up with its own agenda, altering human dna and changing them into unthinking cybernetic warriors, whose sole role is to hunt down and destroy super powered beings; the threat comes from an insane supernatural being called the Spectre, his goal is to destroy all magic. On top of all this danger, the three founding members of the Justice League (Superman, Wonder Woman & Batman) have personal grudges against one another and will no longer fight as a team.

With a full cast and super sound effects, the audio production was excellent. I could picture all the action and felt the emotional turmoil of the characters. There was an underwater fight scene where the voices were a little annoying but it wasn't enough to distract from the story telling. I recommend this book.
