"Stars in Their Courses" brings together a powerhouse lineup of writers—Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison, Greg Rucka, and Mark Waid—alongside Keith Giffen’s dynamic art and Jimmy Palmiotti’s inks, capturing a pivotal week in the lives of heroes scattered across space and Earth. As Green Lantern delivers grim news to Ellen Baker, Steel steps in to help the returning team adjust, while Sawyer presses Montoya for answers in a crumbling building and three heroes face the isolation of deep space. The cover by J. G. Jones adds a haunting, starlit elegance to the issue’s urgent tone.

Week five turns on the return of part of the team that followed Donna Troy into space. It opens with Green Lantern breaking bad news to an ever hopeful Ellen Baker. Steel is asked to lend a hand with the conditions of some the returnees while Alan fills him in on the last few minutes before that return. Elsewhere, Sawyer presses Montoya about what happened in the abandoned building, and three deal with being marooned in space.
