Synopsis:
Day 1: Oliver Queen, while talking to the press about his mayor candidacy in Star City, receives a call on his Justice League communicator from Firestorm, asking him to join the latest version of the Justice League. The new team includes Super-Chief, Bulleteer, Firehawk, and Ambush Bug. Queen declines.

Day 2: In Happy Harbor, the Martian Manhunter reflects on his success in destroying Checkmate by infiltrating the government while he sculpts a memorial to fallen Justice League members.

Day 3: Black Adam, Isis, and Osiris speak to members of the Great Ten in China about the dissolution of their alliance with Kahndaq. August General in Iron is angered and blames Adam's change of heart on Isis.

Day 6: The new Justice League enters their first battle: fighting pirates and cyborgs sent through time by Skeets. They are joined by dozens of new heroes created in Lex Luthor's Everyman Project. Skeets incinerates many of the heroes with powerful ray beams, including Super-Chief. As he dies, Super-Chief briefly enters a paradise, where the Manitou Stone is taken by Flying Stag and given to Ralph Dibny.

Day 7: The Martian Manhunter, in his guise as the Secretary of State, learns of Checkmate's reorganization into the United Nations.

In Belle Reve, Amanda Waller approaches Atom-Smasher about selecting a team to join him in confronting Black Adam.
