[1] The main event received positive reviews, with critics praising Mark Waid's writing, the art, the action, and the satisfying conclusion.

To neutralize the ability of every metahuman around the world, Amanda Waller recruits Failsafe and the Brainiac Queen into the Suicide Squad, beginning a campaign of hate and fear over people.

[4] In response to recent events involving metahumans, Amanda Waller decides that superpowers, regardless of whether they come from superheroes or supervillains, are too dangerous to be left unchecked.

After the Brainiac Queen awakens, Waller and Failsafe recruit her to help them complete their agenda and create a group of Amazos dubbed "Task Force VII" to drain the powers of superheroes worldwide.

Batman and Robin watch news channels to report on Animal Man's attack and on videos depicting superheroes committing acts of violence and destruction across the globe.

In the Hall of Order, Waller reveals to Sargent Steel that the Brainiac Queen created the videos as part of her plan to take down every superhero on the planet due to the heroes having too much power and answering to no one.

At the same time, the Amazos of Task Force VII consisting of Depth Charge, Global Guardian, Jadestone, Last Son, Paradise Lost, and Velocity attack.

They depower and capture the majority of superheroes around the world that includes Wally West, Jay Garrick, Bart Allen, Aquaman, Tempest, the Justice Society of America members Green Lantern, Hawkman, Jade, Jesse Quick, Mister Terrific, Obsidian, and Courtney Whitmore, and the Doom Patrol members Beast Girl II, Elasti-Woman, Negative Man, Robotman around the world.

Brainiac Queen captures Yara Flor, Wonder Girl, and Red Tornado while the rest of Task Force VII arrive.

Blue Beetle and Mister Terrific use the Phantom Zone projector to escape and Superman asks the Fortress of Solitude to self-destruct.

Wonder Woman and Aquaman destroy the glass dome containing Kandor, which allows the miniature Kryptonians to distract Brainiac Queen long enough for Dreamer to send the rest of the heroes to the Phantom Zone before the Fortress explodes.

Amanda Waller is enraged that the Amazo robots are gaining morality and sentience and tells Failsafe to initiate a partial reboot.

Meanwhile, Barry Allen is directed by Steve Trevor to head to the basement of Waller's base, and discovers that she is assembling a multiversal army.

Starr and Batman are knocked out before they can use the device, but Green Arrow picks it up and shoots it at one of the robots, shutting down Task Force VII and restoring the heroes' powers.

This also causes Failsafe to be deactivated, while Wally West and Jay Garrick combine their willpower with Hal's to hold off the multiversal army.

Dreamer returns and knocks out Amanda Waller before she can attack Nightwing, and explains how Jon dreamed of her constantly while under Brainiac Queen's control which pulled her into the Dreamscape allowing her to heal from her wounds.

Dreamer erased Amanda Waller's memory of the heroes identities and locations deep within her mind and leaves her alone in her cell in Belle Reve.

Green Arrow admits that his undercover plan was not the smartest, especially since the only other one who knew of this was the Martian Manhunter, though he pointed out that this whole event would never have happened if they had been more communicative and never disbanded the Justice League when Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman show him the schematics for the new Watchtower being built.
