** ''PREVIEW:'' Hopewell... Hope & Well. Two words of a healing nature. Two words tangled in irony denoting the American town that that came to be the crash site of the fifth plane of 9/11, now the domain of No Man. Hopewell also denotes the name chosen by the Survivors of AA Flight 283 who worked together to form a place where others might not feel alone. Two more words... Kings Farm. Kings Farm quite possibly meaning the literal birthplace of future kings made gods by destiny, elevated to power by design. Two words also marking an established community in Maryland, adopted by as perhaps an *afterthought*. Pantheon. One word denoting the power given upper eschelon of Godlike residing within Kings Farm but it is also a word denoting an intention to rule. Progeny. One word, the progenitors given power with little rhyme or reason to control ethically. While Hopewell becomes a beacon, Kings Farm builds to rule and the Pantheon watch over that rule - it is the Progeny that may offer the most fear. They are not a group with intent, they are raw emotion, who only know they will never be controlled again. They are a society of powered youth looking to expand their influence, yet they don't all know what that belief is. <br> Next issue Progeny at the same time coalesces and rips assunder while Hopewell is caught in the crossfire. Old friends and enemies will return in this epic climactic battle amid the ruin of Seattle. We will learn (or be reminded) that in some ways death has little meaning to those liken to God. Unlike these unguided souls Pantheon is intent on one thing, yet they may discover much more. And various angles of aid will come to our heroes whether they want it or not. Meanwhile, hanging above the Earth Brian will struggle with the rage of a man bent on avenging his life's love. Can an Elemental of stone and concrete face a man in control of the primal force of Gravity itself? A new day may dawn but if the Savage encased in concrete can find a way Horizon may face something he's never faced - defeat... <br> All this and a little girl may grant a man a dream! | ** ''PREVIEW:'' Hopewell...

− | ** ''RECAP:'' We start off today's episode with a bang...literally, as Arthur rends his corpus asunder ina a last ditch effort to take his enemy with him as he dies. The resulting explosion tears the pavement, dirt, rock, and Mongrel to shreds and the echo can be heard for miles. Unfortunatly for Brian, where he is, not much sound can reach him, as he hurls into space with aconcrete Savage in tow; who is rapidly suffocating. Brian then heads twoards Antartica to store Savage for the time being. But as he starts to reenter, something goes terribly wrong! Brian's force field starts to deteriate around him. Out of the stone that is Concrete Savage forms Bleach's face as she tells Brian that if he continues, he will die. Thinking quickly, Brian hurls Savage into orbit and plummets through the aptmosphere in an effort to burn off Bleach's toxin. Just in time it works, and Brian pulls out of his death dive with only minor burns. | + | ** ''RECAP:'' We start off today's episode with a bang...literally, as Arthur rends his corpus asunder ina a last ditch effort to take his enemy with him as he dies.

Thinking quickly, Brian hurls Savage into orbit and plummets through the aptmosphere in an effort to burn off Bleach's toxin. Just in time it works, and Brian pulls out of his death dive with only minor burns. Several thousand feet below and across the city, Jack watches from the astral realm as his body lies vulnerable with an angry owlbear disentangling itself from the VW bug that rolled it a minute earlier. To save him, Jack then pulls Marx's soul out of his body and sets him to guarding Calamity from doing any more harm. As both of them square off and trade shots that do no damage to either of them. As this is happening, Jack goes over to where Arthur was just in time to see him reform. Arthur is weak and his form is dim from the damage Mongrel did to him. With a huge effort, Arthur pulls himself back to the real world and forces his body to accelerate it's healing almost 8000 fold. During which Julie and Arthur 2 show up. Jack forces Marx back into his body and Julie transports him to a hospital. Then she returns to do the same to Jack's body, opting not to return after this trip.The effort exhausts him and he is forced to slip into his own speed for almost 10 hours to rest and recover. |

** ''PREVIEW:'' Today is a good day to die. Seattle has been the gateway into a new life for our heroes. It is where they "became" Godlike, it is part of their origin story. So it is appropriate that it be cemetary to thousands who dwell beneath these gods. And as the first volley of a civil war of Godlike is passed this battle ends today... Win or lose, a city died as the battlefield in their passing. And not even a one of these godlings can escape the clutches of the power... ''"Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in. [Our true enemy has not yet shown his face.]"'' -- '''Michael to Harrison and Connie''', Godfather III - She was out, living a life... Truly living. But THIS was always this way, it had to be - one day Lt. Amanda Smith may escape to her world of dreams but today is not that day... Sleep no more, the pheonix from the ashes... all that jazz, because today is a good day to die. "You've got to pick up the ax, little girl, because the Seattle's still on fire." | ** ''PREVIEW:'' Today is a good day to die. Seattle has been the gateway into a new life for our heroes.
