The Rann/Thanagar War

    (DC, 2005)
™ and © 2005 DC Comics, Inc.

In the eight-issue Adam Strange limited series, the planet Rann was teleported into the heart of the Polaris system by Sh’ri Valkyr, a rogue Thanagarian cult member, accidentally resulting in the destruction of Thanagar, Hawkman’s homeworld. In this six-issue limited series that spins out of Adam Strange and leads into Infinite Crisis, it’s up to Strange himself to deliver the bad news to the Winged Fury and his partner in crime-fighting, Hawkgirl. But there’s more: many Thanagarians were rescued by good-hearted Rannians and now occupy refugee camps, but a dark faction of Thanagarians have launched a full-scale invasion of Rann from an orbiting fleet of spaceships and inspired revolution among the refugees. Can the combined might of the DC Universe’s greatest space adventurers—Adam Strange, Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Green Lantern, and L.E.G.I.O.N.—prevent two civilizations from completely destroying themselves and stop the tide of war from washing over worlds? Writer Dave Gibbons (World’s Finest) and artists Ivan Reis and Marc Campos (Action Comics) deliver a thumping good sci-fi yarn with tons of implications for the future of the DCU.
