This story didn't actually focus on Kent Nelson . . Fate, but . . he does play an integral part of getting some of these members out of the various traps that Mordru has sprung on them. Basically, Mordru had used Kent as a Trojan-Horse of sorts, to get into the midst of the Justice Society. When he finally revealed himself, he disappeared with the Helmet of Nabu, leaving Kent disabled and disoriented. But before doing that, he cast 8 separate spells, simultaneously, to transport the Society's 8 strongest members to various pocket dimensions where he set up traps for them. Well . . 7 actually. He took Alan Scott off with him personally to try to beat the biggest threat first. Anyways, while Mordru was inside of him, Kent also managed to take a peak around Mordru's brain. That actually turned out to be rather instructional for him. As his narrating is the frame of the story, and in it he talks about how through this knowledge he's figured out better how to use his powers . . how to access the various spells. Anyways, in the end Kent Nelson, not Fate, helps Mr Terrific and Jennifer beat Mordru. Next issue we find out . . Whatever happened to Obsidian? I have to say, so far I've enjoyed Bill Willingham's take on these characters. I think he's doing a good job handling all the various personalities and abilities. And it looks like he's going to focus a little attention on Fate. Finally! Travis Moore does the pencils this issue. I also have to admit, I'm kind of glad this team has split in half . .with the All-Stars. There was getting to be quite a lot of characters here. It felt like it was getting more and more difficult for them to get the individual attention that they deserved. Maybe 2 books will help. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
