Underworld Unleashed

Rating:
Summary: Another DC crossover that deals with magic.
Review: Lots of DC villians appear in this story and make a bid for power. The type of power that could destroy the universe. Poorly plotted and drawn. Not worth your money.

Summary: Best New Villian
Review: Underworld Unleashed was a good crossover. A powerful being named Neron invites a number of villians to do business with him. Neron offers these folks -- ranging from Mongul to Punch and Judee, with everyone in between -- their "heart's desire" in exchange for their souls. Mongul learn the hard way that Neron can be refused or ignored, but not challenged.

Why would Neron want souls he probably owns anyway, assuming he is some sort of demon? What is his true agenda? The Trickster, from whose point of view the story is told in large part, doesn't figure that out until the very end. All he knows going in is what the Fiddler told him: that the word "Neron" was used in ancient times to create the numerologic symbol "666."

There is a lot to like, such as Trickster's P.O.V. Some is old hat. In many places the action was disjointed, perhaps due to the absence of crossed-over stories from other magazines. But overall this is a great read, both for the promised revamping of DC villians and the creation of a genuine long-term player in Neron.
