Publisher’s description

The BLOODLINES Summer Annual crossover event continues from Justice League America Annual #7. The teenage Superman is electrified when Sparx - the latest infusion of New Blood in the DC Universe - makes her shocking debut in Metropolis! And, as the super-powered New Blood sprout up across the DC Universe, a strange family of meta-humans sacrifices its only non-powered child to the hideous extraterrestrial parasites! BLOODLINES continues in Hawkman Annual #1.
