Green Lantern: Safe at Home - Hal Jordan overcomes his recently returned fear in time to make his way out of the safe. With that accomplished, he accidentally vents his anger with himself out at Arisia, and then heads to another old friend to pick up the trail.Blackhawk: Mission: Implausible - Leslie Richardson is clearly not what Blackhawk expecting (what with Leslie being male and all), which makes the mission a tough sell, especially when it seems Leslie may be lying about the details.Wild Dog: Fatal Distraction, Chapter 2 - Battle Gear - Wild Dog is on the hunt for the serial killer, not realizing what he's inspired in a loyal young fan.Superman: Dead Men Tell No Tales - Superman and the doctors examine the man he attacked, and they quickly prove Superman's innocence in his death. Unfortunately, they end up with more questions than they started with.Nightwing: Counterpoint - Nightwing has tracked down enough information to know Speedy's plan stinks. He tries to catch up with Speedy, but runs into Cheshire instead.Black Canary: Bitter Fruit, Part 8 - Black Canary tracks the cause of the murders to its root: a crooked chemist who didn't want immigrants exposed to his products to become legal citizens, for fear of the legal action that would be taken against him.
