With this issue, the Helmet of Fate has passed through it's final hands, before moving on to the next successor. Zauriel has to go to another planet to retrieve it. The planet is about to have a civil was because the person, or fungus, who's hands the helmet has fallen in to, is bent on subjugating the world it resides in. And the helmet is going to help it do just that. So Zauriel goes there to intervene. I know heaven isn't supposed to intervene in worldly matters, and there's a big old debate on it between Zauriel and Malachy, but it's much to long winded and lengthy for me to get in to here. Suffice it to say that Malachy supports his argument well enough to convince Zauriel to take on the mission. So Zauriel goes to the planet, defeats the fungus and sends the helmet back on it's path. Steve Gerber wrote this one, and he introduces some rather unique ideas. Apparently he's going to be the writer for the ongoing series also. It should prove very interesting. It's heralded as " . . the demon-haunted pages of the all-new, all-different, all-eerie Doctor Fate. Creeping you out monthly beginning in April." And the artist of the on-going series is going to be Paul Gulacy. It'll be interesting to see who ends up with the helmet, and where they go with it. And don't forget that Neron and Faust are trapped in the Tower of Fate right now.
