"Our Worlds at War" is a crossover event published in the summer of 2001 (Jun-Jul-Aug), and that spans multiple titles, anchored by the Superman line of books. The premise of the story involves Imperiex, a cosmic entity that has set its eyes on Earth with the purpose of using it as ground zero to induce a new Big Bang, and recreate the universe in his image.
Our Worlds at War
Collected Edition Volumes One and Two
Volume One Cover by Ed McGuinness and Cam Smith
Volume Two Cover by Mike Wieringo and Jose Marzan
The ultimate destructive force has been released into the universe, and it is heading towards Earth, leaving a path of galactic devastation in its wake!
Volume One finds Imperiex in its first strike, as Superman and the mightiest heroes of the DC Universe are overwhelmed, and the planet is ravaged with fire and destruction. With the fate of the world at stake, the Man of Steel is left no choice but to forge uncertain alliances with President Luthor, Darkseid, Mongul, and other dubious allies.
Volume Two shows the war going badly for Superman and his allies. Already the casualties are mounting, with some of DC's greatest heroes having fallen or gone missing in battle. As the heroes of the world attempt to turn the tide to their favor, Brainiac 13 secretly enters the war seeking to harness the power of Imperiex to use for his own ends.
