When I heard that Tom King was doing a take on the first Batman/Joker encounter I immediately lost interest in reading this. I'm not a fan of King's Batman run and I am so drained on "the first Joker story". That's why I was surprised with how much I enjoyed that story. Other than that the big reason to read this is the Superman story in here, which works really well if you're also reading the Williamson run. I'm intrigued to see where the future Batman story goes, and the StormWatch is serviceable if a bit generic and predictable.

This issue was fun, and the moment with Drax at the end really brought this up for me, but it did feel a little like spinning the wheels to keep setting up Grootfall.

I will be the first to admit, when I knew Constantine would be in this book it became a must read at least for the first issue. But while I came for John Constantine, I stayed for Xanthe Zhou. I have fallen head over heels for a very interesting concept for magic and a wonderfully fun character. For me, this is a must read.
