It appears that everything is going to hell on this new 'converted' Earth. At first we just had a handful of people that had noticed the subtle differences in the current scheme of things. But now . . now things are happening constantly, and blatantly, so it's hard for the casual observer to not notice that their world is changing before their eyes. I'm not sure if it's falling apart . . or all coming together. The story ends with Le Fey standing over Paris and burning it to the ground. "Now that's what Paris should be like . . " Like I said, I'm not sure if the acquisition of power has just made her mad, or if this is all part of her plans for the future of Earth. It also seems as if her and Enigma have parted ways. And Firestorm is still trying to get his message across. I thought Kurt Busiek and Mark Bagley did a fantastic job with this part of the story. In the back-up feature, we find out that John Stewart, Kanjar Ro, Despero, and Krona are all going to be crossing paths. John is trying to come to terms with this alien techno-virus that seems to be growing inside of him. Kanjar Ro, with the unveiling of his recent deception, is trying to put Earth in his dust as he wheels out of Dodge. But, he also doesn't want to let loose of the recent opportunity that's been afforded him. So he's on his way back his planet, where Despero is, to retrieve the Cosmic Egg. However, Despero is on his way to Earth, and they're all traveling via the worm-hole that John recently created with his techno-virus. The anomoly of the worm-hole has also garnered Krona's attention. As I said, they all seem to be on a collision course for each other. Kurt, Fabian Nicieza and Tom Derenick have put together an intriguing opening chapter for this part of the story. I can't wait to see where we go from here. Overall, I thought this issue was an excellent addition to an already great series. See you next week!
