The issue also does something I usually don't like - namely, cross over with a different comic (in this case, The Champions).
That's ok, because: 1) I read both titles; 2) It's limited to just those titles; and 3) Mark Waid writes both books.
The story touches on a classic concept - Counter-Earth!
Created by the High Evolutionary as a duplicate of our Earth - but orbiting on the opposite side of the sun - it's been a while since it was used, but here it provides the springboard for a menace that will require two teams of heroes!
This is a traditional super-hero team-up comic, which makes it, in my book, a lot of fun. It includes a deadly menace to the planet, heroes working together in new and interesting mini-teams and combinations, and a lot of humor.
With terrific art by Jesus Saiz, this is a great start to the series of crossovers. Recommended!
