CRISIS COUNSELING
LAST UPDATE — MAY 9nd, 2005
SUPERMAN #216
* Possessed by the evil entity known as Eclipso in ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN #639, the Man of Steel attacked Captain Marvel!
* The wizard Shazam, knowing Eclipso would not stop unless his host was killed, summoned the Spectre!
* Freed from his human host in GREEN LANTERN: REBIRTH #4, the Spectre dove into Superman, driving Eclipso out of the Man of Steel and back into his gemstone!
* Eclipso's cursed jewel mysteriously appeared in Arkham Asylum... in the cell of the Atom's ex-wife, Jean Loring!
VILLAINS UNITED #1
* Somewhere on the outskirts of Gotham City, Lex Luthor met with his Secret Society of Super-Villains: Black Adam, Calculator, Dr. Psycho, Talia and Deathstroke!
* Over the past few months, the Society — in an effort to pool their resources — recruited many new members, including Mr. Freeze, Cheetah, Black Manta, Gentlemen Ghost, Fadeaway Man, Phobia, Prometheus and Gorilla Grodd!
* Catman boldly refused Talia and Dr. Psycho's invitation... and the Society made an example of him by slaughtering his pride of lions!
* Sent on a mission by the mysterious Mockingbird, a group of six mercenaries — Cheshire, Deadshot, the Fiddler, Parademon, Ragdoll and Scandal — made quick work of some unfortunate H.I.V.E. agents!
* During the fight the Fiddler made a critical error. Mockingbird ordered him executed... and Deadshot quickly complied!
* Impressed with his stand against the Society, Scandal and Deadshot offered Catman a place in their group. Seeking revenge against the Society, Catman accepted.
* Mockingbird told the rebellious mercenaries that they were "The Six... the Chosen," and that if they agreed to ban together and fight Luthor's Society they would be rewarded handsomely... or punished severely if they refused!
This week the action continues in...
JSA #73: A former enemy will be struck down by the Spectre... and a former ally will be seduced by a member of the Society!
RANN - THANAGAR WAR #1: When interstellar Armageddon erupts, Adam Strange seeks Hawkman's help... but whose side will the Winged Warrior take when his adopted home world is involved?
Beware...INFINITE CRISIS is coming! See you next Monday!
