Crisis Aftermath: The Battle for Blüdhaven – DC – 2006 – Limited Series – #1–6

📘 Series Summary

Picking up the pieces of the shattered DC Landscape following Infinite Crisis, this 6-issue Limited Series explores the radioactive remains of Nightwing's home city. Blüdhaven has been decimated by the Chemo-bomb, and in the vacuum of its destruction, a new conflict erupts. The mysterious government agency S.H.A.D.E., led by the enigmatic Father Time, moves in to contain the area, but their true motives are far more chilling than mere disaster relief.

Written by the prolific duo Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray with art by the legendary Dan Jurgens, the series is a high-octane political thriller. As the Atomic Knights struggle to protect the city's survivors and a top-secret cargo, they must contend with the arrival of heavy hitters like Major Force, the Teen Titans, and Hal Jordan. The shocking conclusion of this series serves as the direct launchpad for Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters.
