Underworld Unleashed

Really enjoyed reading Underworld Unleashed. I'm kinda new to the whole comic book world but i'm loving it so far. Underworld Unleashed is one of the type of comic books that i enjoy reading best. Independent (from the main story line) storys that use the characters i'm used to seeing on the main story lines. Underworld Unleashed has a fine plot and the drawings are very good. Excellent buy, im fully satisfied.

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.
