Last week in ...

ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN #642:

After facing a brutalized and comatose Batman � who has Superman's fingerprints bruised into his flesh � the Man of Steel listened as the Martian Manhunter analyzed his attack on the Dark Knight!

Suspecting that Superman had an implanted psychotic episode, J'onn J'onnz probed Kal El's mind...and discovered that the Man of Steel's brain had been tampered with by Maxwell Lord!

Before they could detain him, Superman attacked his teammates and fled to Earth!

Wonder Woman followed Superman's trail to the Checkmate castle � and was quickly attacked by Kal El...and forced to kneel at the feet of Lord!

DAY OF VENGEANCE #4:

While on a secret mission, both Nightshade and Detective Chimp donated their mystic energies to a beleaguered Captain Marvel!

Fueled by the power of all the world's magic users, the World's Mightiest Mortal took the fight to the Spectre...but was still overpowered by the Spirit of Vengeance!

The Spectre pulled Blue Devil's trident out of Eclipso and escaped with his revitalized ally!

Nightshade and Detective Chimp returned to their battered comrades with new hope: "Black Alice � quite possibly the most powerful teenager in this or any universe!"

BATGIRL #66:

Hitting the open road, Batgirl was first attacked by the monstrous Road Hog...and then by an OMAC! The cybernetic hunter took out the metahuman biker, but Cassandra eluded its grasp!

JSA CLASSIFIED #1:

During a medical examination, Dr. Mid-Nite reiterated to Power Girl that her abilities were neither Kryptonian nor mystical in nature.

Power Girl then got into a destructive battle with Garn Daanuth, the brother of the Atlantean sorcerer Arion � that is, until he disappeared...and the JSA stated that he was never there!

Three mysterious figures were summoned and told "it's time to meet your Power Girl"...and were then revealed to be Lightning Lad, Saturn Girl and Cosmic Boy of the Legion of Super-Heroes!
