Ok, we've got 15 issues to go, and we're starting to get to the crux of the matter. We're finally starting to see schemes within schemes. For some reason Monarch, and his forces, have decided to target Earth 51 as the drop-point for the beginning of their multi-universal war. It also just happens to be the planet that Ray Palmer was hiding out on. When our Challengers got here, they found out that their "Bob", the Monitor that was guiding them, had alterior motives. It seems that his goal was to merge the 52 Monitors back in to a single entity. That being him. The problem, he found out, is that they've been individuals for to long, and they are starting to exhibit their own personalities and agendas. Reunification is no longer possible. Meanwhile, Monarch is trying to force the Monitors in to action, for some reason that we aren't privy to yet. His goal was to get all the Monitors on this planet. But we don't know why yet. Ray does tell Kyle this issue about this planet's original Dr. Palmer's plan to do something to stop this impending crisis. Ray has taken up his charge, but still doesn't understand everything that is involved. We also find out that this world's Donna is under the control of a Queen Belthera. I'm not sure who she is, or how she fits in to all this, but, I am sure . . . we're going to be seeing more of her. Meanwhile, "Bob", back at the universal nexus . . . the home-base of the Monitors . . . is confronted by Superman-Prime. "I can make life infinitely worse for you . . unless you help me find what I'm looking for." And Jimmy and Forager are in Metropolis trying to figure out what to do next. Forager says that their shared kiss helped her understand him better. "Jimmy . . what you are is a soul-catcher." It's a fantastic series, and a fantastic book. Even if you haven't been buying it all along, you should still get in to it now. Now is the time when all the crap's going to hit the fan. With these last 15 issues, I expect the story-line to be seriously amped up.
