Stories

The Tourist · 22 pages
Morgan Edge questions whether Mon-El is friend or foe, but Mon is too busy to care, fighting villains all over the world, while playing tourist, and having his first kiss. Elsewhere, Tellus says goodbye to the Guardian, giving him a present that he says will be needed in battle. Atlas gets admitted to Ironworks undercover as John Henry Irons' friend and later reveals himself to John, and lets him know he's about to die. General Lane contracts with the Prankster to distract Black Lightning and in the future dispose of a hero's body, making it look like a super-villain did it.

Publisher’s description

What's a young man to do when he's told he's going to die? See the world while he can! Experience a whistle-stop tour of Earth with Mon-El as he tastes life and fights crime with some of DC's international cast of superheroes. Back in Metropolis, a media mogul takes to the airwaves. His goal: the banning of all alien life on Earth. His name: Morgan Edge. And just what is the Prankster planning?
