Some key moments that help explain the formation of the Absolute Universe can be found in this collection, but those moments aren’t necessarily woven together into a story. Felt more like reading a series of stand-alone issues that together point in the direction that the DCU is heading.

A collection of issues across the key series to set up the new status quo of the DC universe after Absolute Power. The stories are fine and I am interested in following some of these runs but I’m generally not a fan of these kind of collections.

I mean... it was basically just an advertisement. Still not convinced to go back to Chip Zdarsky's Batman, though.

Read on Hoopla, this was also listed here as by Joshua Williamson. Probably because it is a mix of issues... I'm putting it in both places.
This collection was kind of all over the place, but I think it is meant to present the All In status quo and then bring you up to speed on recent events (Absolute Power) with lasting consequences, the Justice League, and what Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman are dealing with in their current books. So, a little scattered, but interesting stories and a good way to start learning what's going on with these characters.
The "All In" special itself is good; a creative use of storytelling (in the original issue) that had cool features, like art showing paper tear that lined up with another part of the issue. That is missing here, but the story is still good and sets up a new status quo in the shape of what is known as the "All In" universe.
However, this collection also contains several other issues. This includes:
-Absolute Power #4, the wrap-up of the "Absolute Power" story arc where Amanda Waller, with the help of Braniac Queen, an army of Amazo robots, and Green Arrow acting as a double agent, stole the Justice League's superpowers and imprisoned them (those she could catch) in a bid to control the world. In this issue, the League, now freed but powerless, attacks Waller's base and are let in by Green Arrow. Their powers are returned, although some people's powers are given to random others, which leads into future stories. Waller is imprisoned and Dreamer forces her to forget all the secret identities and other knowledge she acquired.
- Justice League Unlimited #1: New hero Airwave arrives in the Watchtower and gets a tour before seeing the League in action during and attack in South Africa. Despite thinking he can't really help, he is able to help save lives in a critical moment, proving he is worthy of the league. This issue is really just an introduction to the League itself and is just a entry-level basic story. Then, Airwave reveals to the reader that he is actually there to kill everybody (lol- good luck with that.)
- Batman #153: I believe this is a follow-up to the Absolute Power/All-In special, showing what's going on with Batman. The Riddler now runs a tech company, which Bruce Wayne has invested in. Riddler is working behind the scenes, trying to get Bruce Wayne to agree to a merger. A new hero, Commander Star, is given permission by the mayor to fight crime. Batman thinks this might be a good sign, but as he walks home, the Riddler is still scheming, a city official is killed, and Bruce is confronted about ownership of Wayne Enterprises.
- Wonder Woman #14: Part of Tom King's Wonder Woman run. This seems to be referencing a lot of the conflict with The Sovereign. This relates Steve Trevor's death and Wonder Woman's reaction to it, and the birth of her daughter Trinity.
- Superman #19: Clark and Lois continue to save lives as Superman and Superwoman. They still aren't sure about Lois' capabilities. Doomsday returns to Metropolis, but in a new form.

All-In Saga? More like All-Over-The-Place Saga! (Please help me)
I loved the Justice League Unlimited issue, but the rest of it seemed to be shoehorned issues. Absolute Power #4 so...the final issue of this event, ok...then one issue each of Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman which MIGHT have a small something attached to this, but not really. They are just part of each of their larger storylines.
I guess skip this and just read when Justice League Unlimited comes out?

2.5 rounded down - Warning: Delving into the esoterica of comics solo is like trying to climb Everest without training or a guide! I was so fascinated by the darkness of Absolute Wonder Woman Vol. 1: The Last Amazon that I had to learn more about the Absolute Universe, and found this volume comprising foundational stories from various DC lines, the recommended starting point for any explorers in this universe. Unfortunately, because my experience in the comic book world is limited, this volume was chaotic and confusing, full of characters and references to storylines I’d never heard or couldn't work out the significance of. I was already struggling with the concept of ‘metaverse’ but then there’s the ‘omniverse’ - and I’m like, what the hell is the difference? This was discouraging for a comics newcomer (just way too much to digest in one volume), and for those who think cinematic universes are already complicated, that’s just the very very tip of the iceberg.
