Crime Syndicate #[nn]

In "The New Deal Part 2: Driven Vigilante," Ultraman, under Starro’s control, turns on his fellow meta-humans, forcing a brutal clash with Superwoman. As the battlefield fractures, Owlman watches from the shadows, calculating how to exploit the chaos.

In "An Owl in the Light," Thomas Wayne, haunted by the brutal murder of his parents and brother Bruce, transforms into Owlman, driven by a relentless quest to uncover the truth behind the man responsible—Harvey Bullock. Written by a standout creative team, this gripping 4-page tale explores the weight of grief and vengeance in the shadow of a fractured legacy.

In "The New Deal Part 3: Broken Ambassador," Owlman, Superwoman, Ultraman, Emerald Knight, Johnny Quick, and Atomica unite to fight Starro and the mind-controlled metas, but their victory may unleash something far more dangerous than the alien conqueror they’ve just defeated.

In the wake of defeating Starro, the Crime Syndicate’s reign grows more chaotic—Johnny Quick and Atomica unleash a violent rampage, while Emerald Knight seizes control of Coast City.

In "First in War, First in Pieces Part 2: Swift Vengeance," the Crime Syndicate’s ruthless pursuit of Johnny Quick and Atomica reaches a tragic climax, leaving one hero seemingly lost. Now, driven by fury and a thirst for retribution, Ultraman, Superwoman, Owlman, and Atomica launch a devastating assault on the Legion of Justice’s satellite headquarters.

In the explosive finale of "First in War, First in Pieces," Ultraman clashes with Ultragirl in a showdown that tests the limits of power and loyalty, while Superwoman makes a desperate bid to sway the Emerald Knight from Sinestro’s side—just as the fate of the Crime Syndicate hangs in the balance.
