This issue really comes down to two things . . . Darkseid . . . and Orion. Orion? I thought he was dead. Well . . obviously not. At the end of last issue, Ray Palmer, who had been hiding at Atom size inside of Jimmy, turned off the device that was going to allow Darkseid to claim all the New God's powers that he had been storing there. With nothing to hold him back, Jimmy went on the offensive and started giving Darkseid a good ol' fashioned throw-down. This issue Ray finds something else inside of Jimmy. We don't really know what it is, but I'm guessing it's the device that the powers were being stored in. Ray jumps out of Jimmy, causing him, I think, to shrink down and revert back to normal, and crushes the device in front of Darkseid. He's pissed. But before he can do anything . . Orion boom-tube's in from god only knows where. Then there's a serious thrown down. Long story short . . Orion ends up ripping Darkseids fiery heart right out of his body. And really, it was the way this story had to end . . father against son . . "the king is dead, long live the king". And then there was 1. 1 New God, and 1 chapter left in this story. Well . . 2 if you count the #0 issue. First this cover was graced by the excellent Adam Kubert. The interiors for this issue, and I think the previous 2, were by Scott Kolins. I'm sad that this series is coming to it's conclusion, but . . sometimes, the end is only the beginning. Or . . the beginning of . . the end. There's lots of stuff coming up this summer . . out of these story-lines, and I can't wait to see the changing face of the DC Universe when all's said and done. It is, after all, going to be . . the Final Crisis. I can't wait!
