Synopsis:

The JLA is still reeling from the Injustice Gang's attacks, and Green Lantern is entirely unprepared to find Lex Luthor under the influence of a Mageddon probe, let alone to discover that his ring has been neutralised. However, not all is looking bad, as Batman takes down Prometheus, leaving him in Huntress' care, and Metron donates Oracle a mother box which will repair and temporarily upgrade her damaged equipment for the fight against Mageddon.

Orion and Sturmer join Superman against the General, and Wonder Woman, Barda and Plastic Man infiltrate the Queen Bee's hive in New York. J'onn releases Luthor from the control of the probe, Mister Miracle addresses a gathering of heroes, and Zauriel sacrifices his life in an attempt to prevent the complete destruction of the watchtower.
