(spoilers!)

First off, great title.

We begin with Nix Uotan the last of the Monitors.  Earth 7 is devastated.  We are introduced to the Orrery of Worlds and the House of Heroes.  The Multiversity.  Bleed Space.  Floating through the fifth dimension at a fixed point (The Orrery).  A gathering of 50 Earths to battle a giant eye monster thing.  The best thing about this is a serious rendition of Captain Carrot.  I recognize a lot of the heroes.  Gypsy.  Bloodwynd.  Lady Quark.  Lord Volt.  Aquaman and many more.  Harbinger is now an artificial intelligence stationed in the House of Heroes.

This story is good, entertaining, and a mess of chaos.  I could see it being a difficult grasp for those not familiar with the DC Universe mythos.  The fourth wall is broken continuously.

I have taken pages of notes but there are so many stories and characters I don't even feel like writing about them.  The reader is very much a part of the story.  The best thing I can do is share with you the 52 Earths of the multiverse (and yes I enjoyed and recommend the title).

The 52 Earths of the multiverse (which changes 4 years after this is released).

No.  Here's a link instead: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_DC_Multiverse_worlds#The_52

Just read the series if you are interested in the DC multiverse.
