Well this is it. The great disaster is upon us. Well . . not upon us exactly . . actually it's upon the Earth that Solomon, the Monitor, sent all these heroes too. They're at Cadmus now and they're trying to synthesize a cure for the virus that running through Karate Kid's body, Morticoccus. It's a virus from the future and the only person that actually seems immune to it is Ray Palmer. So they're trying to use his blood to synthesize a cure. But the virus is adapting to fast. We basically get a science lesson this issue. We learn just what this Morticoccus does, and how it adapts to go from body to body. This is also related to what we learn about normal viruses, and how this one is different. But, the one thing I think is being forgotten in all this . . . the silver lining if you will . . is that someone infected with this virus, is unable to be acclimated by Brother Eye. So, when Brother Eye finishes with Apokolips, and decides to focus it's attention back on Earth, and it's inhabitants, they may need to use a form of this virus to stop the spread of the OMAC's. Like I said, it's a silver lining, but, right now, it doesn't really help Val . . who's dead. So basically with this issue we see the spread of this disease over this planet and the destruction of it's inhabitants. Also this Earth's Green Lantern has gone to space to find a cure from whatever source he can. The problem is . . he's also infected, so basically he's helping it spread . . all over the galaxy. Like I said, everything's going to be coming at us fast and furious now. This issue Mike Norton does the pencils. I thought he actually did a decent job. He grown a lot since he first popped up on the Atom. I enjoyed this issue, and I can't wait to see how this whole thing wraps up.
