Ratings and reviews

This story has nothing unique about it at all. It is copying the storyline from Terminator almost exactly. A computer system controlling robots takes over the world and is trying to destroy all humans. So the DC super heroes are trying to go back in time to stop it from ever being built... Really??? They couldn't come up with a story of their own? This is a very sad, and pathetic attempt at a new series by DC Comics. To say I was disappointed is putting it mildly.

Maybe it works well for a regular book, but when you have to read panels it's kind of annoying scrolling through a whole page. Worst part is I've read half of the story and now it freezes up and won't display anything. It just kicks me out every single time. I even deleted and re-downloaded to no avail. Google, you just STOLE my $2 and gave me half a book that's difficult to read.

It kept me reading from start to end.. I'm giving it a 4 for two reasons..1st it would have been nice if there was more info on the great war that happened between earth 1 & earth 2.. And last the price I paid was extremely high for a book I read in a few hours...
