At first I liked it but upon further reading, realized that this whole special could have been told in a few panels of the main IC book.
DC had it's revenge on us. VU was the only prequel series that had an actual ending. So far, this is the only one of those specials that did not have an actual ending.
I did like seeing a lot of villains and heroes come out of the woodwork. El Diablo?
Loose Cannon actually makes his second appearance in IC....whodathunkit?

I loved it. There was a genuine tension in this issue that just built and built. What a damn well written comic! I can't wait for the battle! The scene were J'Onn gives Oracle the list of missing heroes was as intense as it gets.
Reading comics from age 7 and having access to all DCs and Marvels since 1958 has given me the benefit of knowing all of them (well, almost all). I'll do the heroes to let you know who was who (some will be obvious):
pg. 16 - Oracle and Robin pg. 17 - Black Canary, Black Lightning, Huntress pg. 18 - Detective Marcus Driver of Gotham Central (shooting Croc) pg. 21 - Vixen and Argus (Bloodlines hero introduced in Flash annual) pg. 24 - Martian Manhunter pg. 25 - El Diablo (not in costume yet), Geist (not in costume yet - Bloodlines hero), Manhunter, Skyrocket (of the Power Company) pg. 26 panel 1- Halo, Arsenal, Joto (Titan), Flamebird, Sparxx (of 'Superboy and the Ravers', also Superboy's bloodlines hero when he was 'Superman'), Tin (Metal Men), purple bird (this one I don't know) page 26 panel 2 - Crimson Avenger, Agent Liberty, Plastic Man, Black Canary, Black Lightning and Time Masters? (this one not sure of. At first I thought it was the Challengers of the Unknown) page 27 - Green Arrow, El Diablo (now in costume), Looker (of original Outsiders), Loose Cannon (his 2nd appearance in IC!) pg. 30 - clockwise:Hawk & Dove, former Rocket Reds, Cinnamen? (gun-slinging girl?), someone I do not know (Global Guardian?), Judomaster, Question, Nightshade, Geo-Force, Rising Sun, Fire, Martian Manhunter pg. 31 - Lionheart (bloodlines JLE hero), Hawk & Dove, gun-slinging girl again, Black Adam pg. 33 - Rocket Reds (now armored), Thunder & Lightning pg. 39 - Black Alice pg. 42 panel 1 - Black Lightning, Vixen, Fire, Odd Man (1960's Ditko creation), Flamebird, Dr. Midnight, Green Arrow, Grace, the Creeper, Steel (John Henry Iron's niece), Geist (now in costume) pg. 42 panel 2 - Detective Turpin of Metropolis (Kirby creation), Head of Metropolis special unit recently introduced in Adv. of Superman (not sure what her name is), Razorsharp (Bloodlines hero from Robin), Arsenal, Martian Manhunter, Joto, Guardian (7 Soldiers version), Gunfire (Bloodlines hero who had own comic in 90's), Black Canary, Sparxx, Black Lightning pg. 42 panel 3 - Mr. Terrific, Manhunter, Empress (from Young Justice), Hourman III, Faith, Question, Tin (Metal Men), Nightshade, Ragman, Metamorpho
Yes, this comic wins for having the most obscure heroes in it. Awesome.
The villains someone else could do

Cobie, I thought that was the Challengers, as well. Sure looked like them. Most of the heroes I knew but there are some really obscure villains in there.
