Synopsis

While other JSAers deal with the Black Lanterns, Mr. Terrific, Power Girl, and Wildcat examine the corpses of the Superman of Earth-2 and the Psycho Pirate for some clue as to how to stop the Black Lanterns. While, Liberty Belle faces Black Lantern Johnny Quick, Power Girl is distracted by Black Lantern Lois Lane, and Atom-Smasher and Judomaster witness Black Lantern Damage's horrifying actions. Jay Garrick brings the new Dr. Fate to help, but Mr. Terrific realizes that his predecessor will have figured out what they are doing, and, in fact, the Black Lanterns are heading their way.
