It takes a whole issue here, but they tell us what happened after Dr. Gotham blew the Volcano in downtown Chicago. I mean, yes there were some fatalities, but . . nowhere near what there could have been. Anyways, long story short, when the dust cloud started coming towards them, Nightshade started scooping up as many people as she could and took them to her Nightshade dimension. She even scoops up whole buildings. Right around that time, some members of the Justice League showed up to lend a hand. Zatanna produced air bubbles around the survivors, and Superman, Supergirl, and Wonder Woman tried to pull out as many people as possible. About this same time, the Enchantress, realizing that his powers weren't a part of him, but rather from a pocket dimension inside his cloak, dove in to see what damage she could do. Once there she finds thousands upon thousands of magical items, and knowing that she only has a limited time there, starts smashing as much stuff as possible. Eventually Dr. Gotham shakes her loose and then teleports away. Meanwhile, in Hell, Blue Devil's lawyer is arguing his case with . . . the devils . . I guess. He's got a pretty compelling argument, but then one of Hell's lawyers steps up to say that Danny's contract is actually an extension of his brother's, Jack. At the same time Danny is talking to some high ranking priests, trying to figure out what and how many act of contrition he has to perform to save his soul. He has to complete 13 tasks. The first? ". . . an army of warrior-magicians is marching on this world, determined to overthrow it. They're called the Homo Magi. We'd like you to stop them." It just goes from bad to worse for this group. And the next issue blurb says, "Dr. Gotham is far from being done with our hard luck heroes." Sucks to be them! But anyways, it was a fantastic issue, by Bill Willingham and Tom Derenick.
