Last issue we found Ray Palmer . . finally . . on Earth 51. He had created this nice little life for himself there with a new Jean and all his old friends. In fact, he'd forgotten about his old life all-together, except for the nightmares that haunt someone who's lost so much. That is until our Challengers show up. And more specifically, "Bob", whom, now that they've found him, demands that he be killed. It turns out this was the Monitor's plan all along. He and another, Solomon, had decided to create this "crisis", so that the necessity would arise for them all to be bonded in to one Monitor . . again. But when the other Monitor's find out this was their plan, they're outraged. But they aren't going to have much time to fight amongst themselves because at that time, Monarch and his multi-verse spanning army show up. It turns out he was the one that had planted Ray Palmer here in order to draw out the Monitors. Which he's done. And now he's planning on wiping them out. Meanwhile, Mary and Jean . . the other Jean . . . have had a falling out. Mary's tired of being used by her and has decided to take her out. Even if it means losing her powers. She speaks the magic word, and brings the lightning bolt down on both of them. They both revert to human form, and fall in to the ocean. We're not sure what's happened to Jean yet. But, Mary has rolled up on the shores of Themyscira. That should be an interesting development. Everything is starting to come to a head, and the last 16 issues should be very interesting. I'm starting to wonder though, where we're going to go after this, because I honestly don't think they can wrap everything up in this series. But, I guess, we'll see.
