A "First Look" presented as a transcript of an actual editorial plotting session for World's Finest Comics #300, held over lunch at a Japanese restaurant in Manhattan. DAK, editor Slifer, and writer Barr hash out the logistics of a massive story involving Superman, Batman, the JLA, the Outsiders, and the new villain Zeta on the alien world of Olda — juggling a red-sun-depowered Superman leading the JLA, alien hordes invading Earth through a "Cosmic Tree" whose roots emerge in major cities, and time-field disruptions that allow cameos from Sgt. Rock and Jonah Hex. The freewheeling session captures the genuine collaborative energy of plotting, from serious structural debates about the overpopulation moral dilemma to gleeful tangents like "Let's kill them all! Big Death Issue!" The resolution they land on: Zeta, the god-level villain searching for purpose, will be left in charge of the alien world as a "God of Guidance."
