Action Comics #884

In "Divine Spark Part 2," Dr. Hoshi and Thara struggle to stabilize Chris as his rapid aging worsens under experimental treatment. When Thara finally snaps and transforms into Flamebird, her fury is met with a shocking twist—Dr. Pillings, the man she attacks, speaks in Kryptonese and reveals himself as Jax-Ur, forcing her to reconsider everything. Meanwhile, Lois Lane faces a crisis of her own when her investigative story leaks, leading to her arrest and a tense confrontation with her father, who ultimately sets her free—but not before making it clear where his loyalty lies.

In "Chapter Six" from Action Comics #884, Captain Atom and Mon-El journey to the Justice League satellite, where their conversation unfolds amid flashes of memory—Captain Atom recalling his time on the Wildstorm Earth and his past as Monarch—only to be interrupted by the arrival of the rest of the League, who brand him a fugitive from the U.S. Military.
