With this issue, it seems like everyone is starting to come together. The problem is . . they're all coming together on Apokolips. Yuck!! We start out with Donna, Kyle, Jason and Ray. They've all just arrived. But after a cryptic message, I think Jimmy and Forager will be the next to arrive. We also get another glimpse, finally, of what's been going on on Paradise Island. Mary, Harley and Holly are all trying to stay under-cover to help out Queen Hippolyta. And they do well, until Mary has finally had enough and makes a scene, forcing Granny Goodness to show her hand. The end result is, I think, Hippolyta will finally regain control of her Island, and Granny has retreated to Apokolips, with Mary, Harley and Holly hot on her tail. Also, for some reason, the Pied Piper has a boom-tube dropped on him. And Brother Eye has finally decided to take off for Apokolips, with Karate Kid and Una on board. So whether Darkseid likes it or not, it looks like there's going to be a large gathering of heroes . . . right in his back yard. Much like the chess game that Darkseid and the Monitor, Solomon, are playing, it appears that all the important characters are being moved in to place for the end-game. Only 11 issues to go. And honestly, even this late in the game . . anything can happen. This was a fantastic book, and a fantastic series. And Final Crisis is just around the corner.
