In "The Golden Age, Book Three of Four," Paul Kirk’s fragmented memories begin to coalesce as Bob Daley and Carter Hall piece together a chilling revelation: the Ultra-Humanite’s mind was transferred into Tex Thompson’s body. Meanwhile, Joan Dale, Lance Gallant, and Paula Brooks uncover the truth in Tex’s diary, prompting Paula to reach out to Johnny Chambers—whose doubts dissolve when Carter Hall confirms the shocking news. Written by James Robinson and illustrated with rich detail by Paul Smith, with colors by Richard Ory and letters by John Costanza, this issue deepens the mystery with a haunting, grounded tone. The cover by Paul Smith captures the story’s tense, introspective mood.
