Well Black Adam has killed everyone in Bialya. Over 2 million dead, and Green Lantern, WildCat and the Flash can't find a single survivor. But they have found Atom Smasher. Actually, CheckMate sent him to them. He wants to join the JSA. And he wants to help bring down Black Adam. Meanwhile, Black Adam is on his way to Oolong island. That's the island that all the scientists have been taken to, by Intergang, to develop their ultimate weapon, the Four Horsemen. These Four Horsemen laid waste to Kahndaq, and then fled to Bialya to hide. Their attack on his country is what started Black Adam on this rampage. When he went to Bialya, he destroyed the country trying to bring them out of hiding. He ended up killing one, Death. But then he found out about Intergang's involvement, and the island where they all came from. Which is why he's headed there. He wants to make the residents of this island pay for their involvement. And it looks like he's going to be able to do that. He makes short work of all their defenses. It isn't until the scientist decide to team-up, at IQ's urging, that they start attacking him from different sides, and bring him to his knees. But what they're going to do to him now . . . is a story for next issue. We also see Luthor taken away for his involvement in the "reign of the super-men" on New Year's Eve. But, it's not Luthor, it's Hannibal, Luthor's shape-shifter. But Steel, with the help of Clark Kent, storm the tower and find the real Luthor hidden inside. While Natasha takes down Hannibal outside. This is a fantastic book. One of the best ideas DC had this year. And now it's almost over. But, we're moving on to the next phase, Countdown. It'll be interesting to see where they go from here.
