And an unknown assassin is stalking a group of heroes who've fallen from grace, plagued by all-too-human failings. After this scattered team--Rorschach, Nite Owl, Silk Spectre, Dr. Manhattan, and Ozymandias--comes together to mourn a friend, they discover that the murder is part of a larger plot to upend the fragile geo-political balance and spread calamity across the world.

All 12 issues from the original limited series run are collected here in a deluxe hardcover format, with high-quality, glossy paper. 32 bonus pages are included, including sketches and a new introduction by series artist Dave Gibbons.
