Finally. Firestorm is back in the mix here. I was beginning to think that we had all forgot about him. Buddy Blank, his grandson, Karate Kid and Una have all gone to Bludhaven. It's their next stop in the race to find a cure for whatever's happening to KK. He's not so much worried about himself, but more for what the Brother Eye told him, that he could be the herald of the great disaster. It just so happens that Firestorm has arrived in town at the exact same time. He's looking for Professor Stein. But, the Atomic Knights have appointed themselves the protectors of the realm, so first they have to get past them. Plus Firestorm doesn't know if he should trust this new group of kids. Meanwhile Deadshot is hot on the trail of the Piper and Trickster. Jimmy Olsen has arrived on Apokolips, but he's not sure why. All he knows is that he's trying to help the Forager, but she's nowhere to be found. Eclipso and Mary Marvel have also arrived there, but for a different reason. Eclipso is offering up Mary as a supplicant to Darkseid. And while all of this is happening, our reluctant heroes are fighting the Knights, who are actually the good guys. Kind of ironic, eh? Long story short, they work their way through the underground tunnels to finally come across a very secure chamber. "Someone went to a lot of trouble to secure this portal. That's never good news." They finally get in to find Desaad holding the Professor captive, and torturing him. He then activate a force-field around our little group, now holding them hostage. Firestorm tries to get free by using his powers, but they have an unexpected effect. The feedback breaks down the Firestorm Matrix, and allows Desaad to jump in and take control. Desaad is now Firestorm, with Jason and Gehenna as the passengers. This doesn't bode well. And what about KK who's literally dying as he's standing around watching all of this unfold? That's why they call them cliffhanger endings. And this series full of them. Read . . and enjoy!
