From legendary creator Grant Morrison (All Star Superman, Batman & Robin, The Invisibles) comes the first chapter in his newest creation. 18 Days is the story of three generations of super-warriors, meeting for the final battle of their age, a climactic war that concludes the age of the gods and begins the age of man. Collecting the first story arc from the series. "This is not a Lord of the Rings or a Star Wars where the good guys win because they are right. The good guys in 18 Days are forced to cheat and lie and break rules to win.

That day has finally come. It is April 1st, and the lunatics have taken over the asylum. Led by the Joker, Arkham''s inmates issue a terrible ultimatum to the man responsible for their imprisonment.
