It's the finale to our Man-Bat mini and in it, we have a lot to do.

I am a Crush fan, and while I like Lobo enough, I wouldn't say I am part of his booster club.  Still, it makes sense that Crush would have more run-ins with her father, so why not in a mini-series?  So, how is this first issue?  Let's find out...

The Green Lantern Power Battery is gone and with it, the energy that keeps are Green Lanterns..... Well, Green Lanterns. In the previous issue we saw a thousand and one Lanterns go off to the Dark Sector to map out this uncharted area of space that's been blocked off by a barrier that the Guardians couldn't see through and since they took off before the Power Battery went kablooey, it seems that we're now done a thousand Lanterns, including some big names, like John Stewart. Let's jump into this issue and see if anyone survived the Battery going down and if Simon Baz survived the explosion on Oa. Let's check it out.

Let's head back to Naomi's homeworld, where previously we saw the Justice League make their way there to shut down a portal from that world to Earth and maybe along the line, stop any invading force that might be with the big bad, Brutus who previously invaded our world. There's just one problem...... For whatever reason, our Justice League's powers aren't working right.... or working too well... Really, it just took our heavy hitters out of the game and made Naomi's hands start disappearing for whatever reason. Let's jump into this issue and see if we can get a handle on what's going on and see our heroes complete their mission.
