Last issue the Monitor, Solomon, transported everyone back to Earth. The battle between he and Darkseid is raging on Apokolips. With Karate Kid coming back to Earth with the rest of the Challengers, Ray's going to have to do something to cure him, or the fate of the population of Earth is doomed. They try to go to the Justice League but it seems as if no one there remembers any of them. Holly and Harley have decided to head back to Gotham. Jason's gone off . . who knows where. Jimmy's decided that the Habitat is probably the safest place for him, since he has all these erratic powers popping up. Oh yeah, and Darkseid wants him because of something to do with his final plan. And Firestorm has gone to see his dad, since this is the first time he's been back on Earth in months. Well . . the best laid plans . . after everyone fails in their reunions, it finally dawns on them that they may not be on the right Earth. But, Val still needs medical attention. For his own good, and the fate of the Earth. Firestorm, and Jimmy, suggest that maybe this Earth has a Cadmus like their own, so they go there and get in pretty much unhindered. They do wrestle with some security, but they're a desperate force so they won't let anything stand in their way. That's when they come along Dubbilex. He's a little surprised that they know him, considering that this Dubbilex has never met any of them. But one the story's explained, and Dubbilex get's a little information from their minds confirming things, he seems pretty willing to help. The only problem is . . . Val is dead! First of all . . it's great to see Firestorm back in action. Secondly, Tom Derenick does the pencils for this issue, which looks fantastic. Finally, I love this series and these characters. With only 7 issues left, counting #0, I'm sure they're all going to be action packed. And then . . in a few months . . it's Final Crisis time! I can't wait.
