Comment(s):
- Justice League Unlimited members that are not taking active part in story will only be listed as Guest Appearances.
- There was a Kendra Harte who was a member of the Challengers of the Unknown team in Challengers of the Unknown Vol. 4. However, that group lived on a world with no superheroes, so this must be considered the first appearance of her Prime Earth counterpart.
- Story continued from the previous issue and continues in the next issue.
Solicitation:
- The Challengers continue to investigate the after effects of the Darkseid shockwave. The latest mission draws Prof Haley along with Ray Palmer (The Atom) to a remote and far-reaching part of the world where hyper-intelligence seems to have infected a long-missing individual from DC Comics past. Things turn even stranger when a being appears to Prof and the Atom claiming to be from the future and calling itself THE OPTIMUM. The Optimum promises untold scientific secrets… that is, if it could have a glimpse into the Justice League’s top secret Atom Project…
