I've been waiting about a year to read this, and it was very disappointing.
First, the core premise: society has turned against the supers. It's been done before, many times, but most notably in DC's first modern crossover: Legends.
Second, this sucks as a crossover because issue by issue the narrative skips big bits, and there's no clue as to where those bits might be.
Third, there's just no nuance here.
Fourth, the ending just comes out of nowhere, and everything is OK as you might expect, and powers jump around and hey-hey all these other random repercussions that are totally unearned.
Good bits: more focus on Dreamer. Uh, that's about it.
