"Infinite Crisis" novelization due in October

DC's recent Infinite Crisis maxi-series is following in the footstpes of its predecessor, Crisis on Infinite Earths, by getting a prose adaptation.


Written by Greg Cox (author of several Star Trek novels, the Daredevil movie novelization and more), the novel is described as:
Based on the epic new series from DC Comics-Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman face a universal threat. For years, the rift between the Justice League's leaders has been widening. Batman's paranoia has given birth to an army of robotic assassins. Wonder Woman has declared herself judge, jury, and executioner, taking a foe's life in an act that was broadcast worldwide. Superman is under the influence of mind control. With the Justice League divided and a super-villain coalition openly targeting the heroes, ordinary civilians find themselves caught in the crossfire. The heroes have lost their way, their values, and their responsibilities. Only those who understand the true meaning of sacrifice are prepared to rectify this crisis-a crisis that originated in an alternate era when infinite earths collided in a cosmic cataclysm that erased history and lives. And those who survived are looking to restore all they have lost, regardless of the consequences.

The cover is drawn by Daniel Acuna, who has drawn several covers for DC and is the artist for the new Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters comic.

probably, not sure if I will in hardcover though, should be an intersting read -- might even make more sense
