- We begin with "Dead of Knight", by Zeb Wells and Greg Capullo. The Joker summons Deadpool to Earth-Zero (It's a long story.) to help him deal with Batman. Batman cleverly plays the pair of them off against one another. Now, I've always despised Deadpool as a character (I bought the comic for the other stories.), but I have to say, this was still a pretty good story, all things considered.
- Next is "The Gun & The Sword", by Chip Zdarsky and Terry Dodson. It follows the friendship of Captain America and Wonder Woman in a combined DC/Marvel universe, from World War Two into the future. This one is very good, it's my favorite in the book.
- Next is "Catch", by Kelly Thompsonj and Gurihiru. Krypto the Superdog and Jeff the Landshark play, well, Catch. It's cute.
- Next comes "The Red & The Green", by Kevin Smith and Adam Kubert. Daredevil and the Green Arrow battle ninjas and Count Vertigo. It's OK. The art is nice.
- After that is "Rocket Has a Green Lantern Ring Now", by Ewing and Ruan. It's a humor piece where the Guardians of the Universe/Galaxy exchange Rocket Raccoon for Hal Jordan, and maybe it doesn't work out so well. Amusing in an unamusing sort of way.
- Then comes "Showdown", by Frank Miller. DKR Batman battles Wolverine. OK, especially if you don't like Wolverine much.
- We end with "Enter: Logo!", by Ryan North and Ryan Stegman. It's set in a variant of the Amalgam Universe where Logo, the Main Mutie, the Last of the Canucklezians, battles Kultron, an Amalgam of Kobra and Ultron. Mildly amusing, even if I never liked Lobo, either.
Overall: While the stories are a bit uneven in quality, overall, this was a pretty good book.

My wife and I went to the shop Saturday and I had failed to ask for it to be pulled. I knew they'd order plenty. But it was sold out.
Perhaps they''ll do a second printing.
I expect I'll be able to get a copy eventually. I'm just missing out on chatting about it!
