This is a stock scan of the issue, so it shows what the comic looks like rather than this exact copy. Books under $5 are sold on my word: the grade is my honest read of this copy, and anything I spot is written in. If a photo would make the difference, ask and I will do what I can.

Story

The Challengers appear on Apokolips, escaping the carnage of Earth-51. In Metropolis, Jimmy finds a message in his bathroom that he and Forager should go to Apokolips. On Paradise Island Holly and Harley are still posing as trainee Amazons while Granny Goodness, as Athena, prepares to bring the whole exercise to a close. On Apokolips, Darkseid and Solomon continue playing their chess game. Athena proclaims the Amazons will become Female Furies before Mary Marvel rejects her. Hippolyta arrives and attacks Athena, revealing her to be Granny Goodness to the Amazons and forcing her to escape via Boom Tube back to Apokolips. Holly, Harley and Mary follow after her, leaving the Amazons to Hippolyta. In the desert, finally having cut Trickster's arm off, Piper is surprised to see a Boom Tube appear for him. In Bludhaven, Brother Eye activates a Boom Tube and takes Karate Kid and Una to Apokolips, leaving Buddy Blank and his grandson behind.
