The Rundown: A past pain is revealed and the League prepares for war.
As the forces dedicated to killing Lobo move in on the ruins of Apokolips, the League prepares for battle. Unfortunately, the specter of what happened the last time they were on the planet hangs over them and Batman recalls the mission that cost them the life of the Martian Manhunter. With the forces of Darkseid poised to destroy multiple worlds at once, Batman and J’onn are the only ones that can find a solution. A solution that will cost J’onn his life and cause a rift in the team.
As Superman watches over Lobo and Flash patrols the area, the bounty hunter reveals that he was hired to do the job that put him in the crosshairs of the United Planets. As both Superman and Flash wonder who might have hired Lobo, Superman discovers that there are forces headed their way with a familiar face in the lead.
