Five years from now, the future that Batman Beyond came back in time to stop is already in motion. Brother Eye has taken over Cadmus, and has taken the refugee heroes of Earth-2 as its mind-controlled slaves. Superman has walked away from humanity, and another hero wears the mantle in his place. And in deep space, Stormwatch are dead, victims of the true threat from beyond our universe...the being we know as Brainiac.<br> <br> But while heroes still live, there's still hope. On Arrow Island, Green Arrow has faked his own death and used the cover to begin recruiting an Army to take the fight to Brother Eye. And even those who swore they'd never be heroes again - like Red Robin and Firestorm - find themselves drawn back into the battle. <br> <br> The fight for the future of the DC Universe is on! <br> <br> All-star writing team Brian Azzarello (WONDER WOMAN) , Jeff Lemire (JUSTICE LEAGUE UNITED) , Dan Jurgens (THE DEATH OF SUPERMAN) and Keith Giffen (JUSTICE LEAGUE 3000) are joined by fan-favorite artists including Georges Jeanty (Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 8) , Aaron Lopresti (JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL) , Cully Hamner (THE SHADE) , Patrick Zircher (SUICIDE SQUAD) and Jesús Merino (SUPERMAN) to present THE NEW 52: FUTURES END VOLUME 2 - collects issues #18-30. The battle rages on!

The end is nigh!

Future's End is a major event that crosses through the entire DC universe & 2 main timelines- one 5 years in the future, the other 25 or so. Batman Beyond is sent back in time to try & stop Batman's O.M.A.C. program & Mr. Terrific from creating the demise & assimilation of nearly every hero & villain by a cybernetic combination of creatures reminiscent of the Terminator, the Borg, and a multitude of Brainiacs from destroying all life on Earth. When Batman Beyond returns to the past, he quickly realizes that something went wrong- he wasn't sent far enough back, & the beginning of the end is already in motion. However, there still is hope, and as numerous characters from every corner of the DCU begin to put the pieces together, it becomes more and more apparent that.... ah screw it, I don't know what I'm talking about lol. I haven't finished V. 2 yet & it was like 8 months ago that I read V. 1 so I can't really remember what all is going on, other than stuff to do with Grifter, Frankenstein agent of SHADE, and Princess Amethyst of Gem World. In the future, even Superman fell & they cut open his head & replaced his brain with an O.M.A.C. control module & his legs with spider-like crawlers. I'd recommend reading all of it, as it's pretty wild. Oh and everyone, and I do mean EVERYONE dies. Even Bruce Wayne. Read more
