They did a little different set-up with this issue. Last issue, when Tarot and Gang-buster met Alfred, he gave them an ancient scroll, and casing, that he had found. He's one of the people that seem to have an instinct that's telling him that there's something wrong with this world. The tarot related items, and the Trinity that he keeps putting together with his finds, keep pointing him in that direction. So, when he met Tarot, and she told him of her same feelings . . he felt compelled to relinquish the scroll to her . . as if he felt it belonged with her. Well, this issue, the back-up story is actually in the front and it's about Carter Hall's previous life, Prince Khufu, and his visions of the future of the world. 3000 years past, he got the vision of all of his future lives, and how everything was going to change because of a fundamental shift in the future of the Earth. He immediately felt compelled to write it all down and save it for a future generation to find, and hopefully help in fixing the world. That's the scroll that Alfred found. When we come back to our main story, we find Le Fey and Enigma in their semi-god like selves. They haven't gained full power yet because of Kanjar Ro's deception. Also, across the globe, heroes seem to be disappearing. They aren't being forgotten, like Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman, but . . it's just like they're fading out of existence. We see it happen to Green Arrow and Speedy, and then Tomorrow Woman. I also liked the merry chase that Gehenna took her captors on. Overall I thought it was an interesting book. Hats off to Kurt, Fabian, Mark and Scott. I thought it was a successful effort by all.
