JUSTICE LEAGUE INCARNATE - The multiverse heroes we met in "Infinite Frontier" return to stop the ultimate threat: the Great Darkness.

SHADOW WAR - We move away from multiversal plots and focus on something more earthly. Ra's al Ghul seemed to have found peace, but then, at the worst possible moment, he is assassinated by Deathstroke. Now, Talia al Ghul demands revenge, and thus begins one of the most violent wars the world will ever know: The League of Shadows versus Deathstroke Inc.

DEATH OF THE JUSTICE LEAGUE - The events in "Justice League Incarnate" lead to this comic. Here, the DC heroes discover the origin of the plague that threatens the reality of the universe from the depths of darkness.

DARK CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS - Earth has lost its greatest heroes. With a wave of villains driven by dark impulses approaching, it is up to the new generation of heroes to defend the planet in its moment of greatest weakness, facing an enemy as primordial and ultimate as the Great Darkness. The great crisis of recent years is here! NOTE: It is not necessary to read all the tie-ins, just reading the main miniseries from 1 to 7 is fine.

BATMAN/SUPERMAN WORLD'S FINEST: THE DEVIL NEZHA - Superman's powers are altered by the attack of the devastating villain Metallo, and the only ally the Man of Tomorrow can turn to is Gotham City's Dark Knight: Batman. A desperate race begins to save Superman, which may require the help of the world's strangest heroes. This story, set in DC's Silver Age, lays the groundwork for the next big event.

BATMAN VS. ROBIN - Damian hasn't been the same for a long time. Renouncing his place as Robin and leaving Gotham City, Batman's son has returned to his roots to reclaim his place as heir to the Ghul legacy. But that is not enough. Damian is determined to claim the mantle of the Bat, and to achieve this, Batman must die.

LAZARUS PLANET - Everything spirals out of control when Lazarus Island erupts in a volcano of pure magical energy. The story of "Batman vs. Robin" continues and sets the cornerstone for "Dawn of DC."
