This whole issue, really, was about the resurrection of Master Synnar into the form of Lord Synnar. Actually, from what I understand, it's the resurrection of the Nameless One . . the god that Deacon Dark worships, but this time around he's taken the name . . Lord Synnar. Deacon Dark is the one that's trying to make all of these events . . prophesies . . happen according to the time-line in which they were prophesied. That's why he's actually been instigating the war between the Ranns and the Thanagarians. He wants them, and Adam Strange's team, distracted so he can go about his unholy duties unfettered. And so far he's been pretty successful. The wild-card in this whole thing is Lady Styx. She has her own agenda, and she not to enthusiastic about the return of the Nameless One . . Lord Synarr. But for some reason, on her way to either Rann or Hardcore Station . . we don't really know which, she decides to swing by Throneworld. That's the home of Starman, Prince Gavyn. Anyways, by the time Adam and his team get there, she's wiped out the whole planet and it's entire population. Prince Gavyn had Bizarro there to aid in his fight against Lady Styx, but Adam and his team needed him for their fight on Rann. He thought that he'd get him back in time, before Lady Styx and her fleet arrived. Apparently they were wrong and now he feels responsible for the entire incident. Plus he knows as much as Prince Gavyn has a hard-on for retribution against Lady Styx . . he's wondering if he might be in his cross-hairs also. But that may be an event for a future story. The form that the Nameless One has taken is the one that Hawkman and Adam Strange saw in their visions . . you know, in the special one-shots. So I'm wondering if this group may be the Aberrant Six that Synarr spoke of in those visions . . Hawkman, Adam Strange, the Weird, Captain Comet, Prince Gavyn and Bizarro. We still don't know all the details about that group other than it's part of Hawkman's and Adam Strange's future. Plus we don't know if Starfire or Tiggorr figure into that mix in some way. However, at the end of this issue, the future's looking pretty bleak for this corner of the universe. As I've said, obviously, Jim Starlin is a master at the tales of cosmic conflict. And I really hope that when all's said and done that he'll be the creative force behind this aspect of the DC Universe. It really couldn't be in better hands. Also I think Ron Lim is the perfect fit for his tales. Barring Jim pencilling his own work, Ron conveys much of the same feel in his. I like where this book seems to be going, and I hope that Jim has another tale lined up after it. Keep 'em coming buddy!
