Everything seems to be focusing on the Fourth World right now. Mary Marvel is starting to have doubts about Eclipso's intentions. Yes she pulled her out of the recent explosion. Maybe saving her life. I'm not sure that she just wouldn't have survived it anyways. But, Eclipso is trying to take credit for that. But after Eclipso tried to pawn her off as a concubine to Darkseid, her credibility in Mary's eyes, has gone way down. Meanwhile Jimmy Olsen is also dealing with the Fourth World, but more directly. He followed Forager to Apokolips to try to help her figure out what was going on with this string of Fourth World murders, but he's been abandoned in the slave pits. Luckily, this issue, Mister Miracle finds him. But in his association with him, Jimmy begins to have more of the unknown feelings that have been floating around in his brain. It seems that things about New Genesis, he just knows. Mister Miracle tries to scan Jimmy with his Mother Box, but all he gets are that his new powers are "fight or flight" based. And then . . he drops him in to a fire-pit. Mister Mxyzptlk has returned to the Fifth dimension, after his encounter with Superman-Prime at the source wall, and he's scared to death. He asks his wife to seal off the whole dimension. "Seal the dimension off! The f-fifth dimension! SEAL IT OFF! He's . . . there! He is . . . the END! I can never go back there!" Piper and Trickster have gotten a momentary respite. They've jumped aboard a box-car and are trying to elude their followers. But Deadshot is unrelenting. He catches up with them and is intent on killing them. No matter what the instructions from Waller are. They end up shaking him off, but not before he kills James, the Trickster. The problem is, he and Piper are still handcuffed together. This is a fantastic series, and I continue to enjoy it week after week. It also sports a really nice cover by Alex Bleyaert.
