The JLA, JSA, and New Gods, who have split up into teams, locate Highfather, try to stop the Injustice Society from resurrecting Darkseid, find an underground movement of Apokoliptian children, and discover Darkseid's master plan to transport Apokolips into Earth-2's universe, where there are no gods to thwart him, destroying Earth-2 in the process.

Story Notes

Story continues from previous issue; concludes in the following issue. Darkseid was believed to be dead following events in Adventure Comics (DC, 1938 series) #460. Longtime JLA penciller Dick Dillin died after completing the first two pages, which were then redone by George Perez, as noted in the letters page. Those incomplete pages were first printed in Alter Ego #30 (November 2003).
