Synopsis

The JLA plan to force the Queen back into the book in which she was previously trapped, but find Manhattan overrun with storybook creatures and the Queen occupying Wonder Woman's Wonderdome. Using her lasso of truth, Wonder Woman forces the Queen to see the world as it is, a world of technology and discovery, not the land of fantasy she once knew. Shattered, the Queen tries to return to the realm of fairy tales in the mystical book, where she can retain some semblance of power, but Flash tricks her, and traps her in a book completely lacking in imagination.
