These J.G. Jones covers are awesome. How do they get this guy to put out such great covers week after week. Well, only 25 more weeks, and then you'll get a vacation. Which I'm sure all of the creators of this book will definitely need. Which includes Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison, Greg Rucka, Mark Waid, Keith Giffen and all the pencillers and inkers that have pitched in issue to issue. On a personal note, I think all of the above mentioned people's hard work has definitely paid off. Any future projects, by any company, attempted like this one, will definitely be compared to it. Props to you all! This issue starts out with Ralph Dibny on his quest to get his wife back. The helmet of fate is taking him through the different layers of the underworld, to help him find, and retrieve her. The current stop is with the Spectre. The Spectre won't help though unless Ralph allows the Spectre to use him as a host, and then to exact vengeance on his wife's killer, Jean Loring. Ralph really tries, but in the end he just can't do it. We also see Skeets coming after Waverider. Somehow Rip Hunter, Booster Gold, Time Commander, Waverider and the rest of the Time Masters are all tied in to this storyline with Skeets. We don't really know what he's after yet, but it seems to revolve around Rip Hunter. And finally we got the Question and Renee Montoya in Nada Parabat. They've hooked up with Tot and Richard Dragon. Apparently Charlie is dying of lung cancer, and, my guess, he's having Richard train Renee to take over for him. When all is said and done, I think she's going to be the new Question. Which is good, because the Question is a character that's been in limbo for way to long. And after Ralph's defeat with the Spectre, it appears he is heading for Nada Parabat also. I love this book.
