<DIV>First the Earth?s champions, old and new, returned to a world that thought the era of superheroes had come to a close. Then an age-old conflict of good versus evil, heroes versus villains, was renewed. And now it all comes down to one battle?the battle to end all battles. And if Quantum?s prophecy proves true, it could just mean the end of the world as we know it. The new heroes? powers are getting stronger, and they?re still learning how to harness them. But when one of their own turns her ability to control minds against the rest, they face something much larger than themselves, and the fate of the world hangs in the balance.<BR><BR></DIV>
