Last issue dealt mostly with the Fourth World part of this story. But this issue, we're all over the place. We start out with Piper trying to figure out what he's going to do with the corpse of the Trickster shackled to his wrist. Also, now that he is registered as deceased, the cuffs have switched to a fail-safe detonation in 24 hours. It still seems to be some kind of chess game that Desaad and Darkseid are playing. But back on Apokolips, we're reminded that Granny Goodness is still posing as Athena, and in doing so is still holding the old gods . . the Grecian gods . . . captive. Meanwhile, Holly and Harley are going through all the survival training required to make them true Amazons. But during that training, they come across a cave, and get curious. Well . . . mostly Harley does. But they end up going in to it, to explore. The Challengers have landed on Earth 12. That's the Earth of the future Batman. They don't feel like they're any closer to finding Ray Palmer, when Bob is attacked by another Monitor. She's trying to end their pursuit. This is the first time they've been able to catch up to them because Bob program a 52 minute delay in to the monitoring devices before he left. But, I guess, they've figured that out. In Bludhaven, Jason and Gehenna have been separated as they were trying to protect Karate Kid and Una. They've been attacked by the Atomic Knights. In the Norad facility, that's been monitoring Bludhaven, an alarm sounds when Val tries to open a hatch to explore. There's a feedback in Norad, and all the soldiers there are turned in to OMAC's. And it looks as if Brother Eye is ready to launch himself back in to the atmosphere. I love this series. And, I love that we're following so many story-lines simultaneously. But, we only have 20 issues to go. We're finally coming down to the wire.
