Final Crisis - Aftermath

Aftermath

In a move Dan DiDio described as "inspirationally tied to Final Crisis," in early 2009 the villains will take over the main DC Universe titles and some will be featured in "Faces of Evil," a series of one-shots, all designed to examine the question "What happens when evil wins?"
