“GET YOUR ASS TO MARS”
Aquaman wants Mars to form an alliance with Atlantis to either force Black Adam to reconsider War with the underwater kingdom … or to add their alien might to the fight against Kahndaq. Either way, he’s got to get Mars’ greatest hero, J’onn J’Onzz, back to the Red Planet to make it happen!
Atlantis’ long-lost space colony, Oceanid, sent Arthur a vessel: the O.S.S. Starshark. But the crew is… fishy. And by that, I mean suspicious. They’re not actually fish, because Arthur gets along great with real fish. These guys… not as much. Does this crew have Aquaman’s actual interests at heart… or are they about to snare him in their net?
And oh yeah, when Aquaman sprung the Martian Manhunter from jail… Lobo escaped too! The Main Man was incarcerated for offing the King of Markovia (see THE FLASH #30). This, in part, caused the U.N. to create the World Organization for the Advancement of Humanity: an anti-alien task-force that nobody realizes is secretly controlled by Vandal Savage. Lobo’s actions were completely disastrous for the planet… but he does have a Space Hog. Is he going to ruin Aquaman and Martian Manhunter’s voyage to Mars… or save it? Is it possible he somehow does both?

“RAPIDLY UNCOVERED”
Barry’s cover within the World Organization for the Advancement of Humanity has finally been blown! Cheetah, with her animalistic senses, recognizes the musky scent emitted by “Marathon Man” John Broome - for only the Flash produces such a unique aroma of burned rubber, red Gatorade, and Axe body spray…
Taking that information to Vandal Savage, the appointment of a new head of W.O.A.H.’s Speedster Division is arranged, and this guy has experience… of the negative kind. You know him as Dr. Eobard Thawne - the Reverse Flash!
Worse still, Cheetah and Killer Frost oust Captain Atom from his position as Director of W.O.A.H. and frame him for crimes against humanity and sexual harassment! Now the Earth-wide and U.N.-sponsored organization falls firmly into the grasp of Vandal Savage…
That leaves Barry and ex-Director Captain Atom on the run and with no allies - until, that is, some questionable (and ultraviolent) would-be friends arrive!
“They call me Magog, and this is Peacemaker. The old ways clearly aren’t working anymore, so we’re starting a Battalion… of Justice! Are you two in?”
