Ok, either the Piper's going crazy . . . or Trickster really is haunting him. Either way, he's in worse shape now than he was when he was alive. Now he's dragging his lifeless corpse across the desert. And having an argument with him at the same time. An argument he can't possibly win, because he really is dead. I almost feel sorry for him. Our Challengers have ended up on Earth 51. Liberty Belle, Libby Lawerence-Chambers, is the President, and Clark Kent and Lois Lane-Kent are her closest friends. But they don't learn much here other than the realization that the Monitors haven't made a move on them yet. Which is suspicious in and of itself. Meanwhile, on Themyscira, the cave that Holly and Harley have stumbled in to is where Hippolyta has been hiding herself. Granny Goodness and the Furies came and took over the island, but she can't fight them by herself. But she may have help now. She sends them back with a cover story, so they can be her eyes from the inside. And Jimmy is displaying even more powers. He comes to Foragers aid, but she doesn't recognize him at first. So she tries to kill him. Come to find out she was just in a self-induced trance so she could deal with the pain that Bernadeth was inflicting on her. His eyes become a part of the source, and he turns in to a living Mother Box to bring her out. He also fakes his identity, when Bernadeth shows up, and convinces her that he's Darkseid. And, to get out of the predicament, he generates his own boom-tube that take him and Forager back to Metropolis. This issue ends with Forager kissing him. Pretty cool book. And we're getting near the end. Paul Dini and Tony Bedard do the script for this one. Jesus Saiz and Rodney Ramos do the pencils. If you haven't been reading this series, you don't know what you're missing. But, if you have, you should be anxiously awaiting the answers that'll be coming our way soon. What a fantastic book.
