Comment(s):

As a result of the events in Dark Nights: Death Metal the Multiverse has been restored, but not all worlds are exactly as before. New Earth 3 is different from the Earth 3 of the New 52 Multiverse, making this the first appearance of both the New Earth 3 and all its inhabitants.

Solicitation:

Spinning out of Dark Nights: Death Metal, the Multiverse is reborn-and Earth-3 with it! In this six-issue miniseries, witness the true origins of the malevolent makers of mayhem known as the Crime Syndicate as a common foe unites them! But how long can alliances last between villains like these?
Also in this issue, it’s the origin of Ultraman in our special backup story drawn by superstar artist Bryan Hitch!
