Synopsis- SPOILER ALERT!!!

Supergirl and several other Justice Leaguers are locked in a fierce battle with Darkseid and his parademons. Darkseid is attempting to destroy the ‘source wall’ with a newly-developed beam to rip out the secrets of the anti-life equation. Soon, Orion breaks rank, and goes after Darkseid himself. Capt. Atom, Superman, Wonder Woman and Zauriel fail to counter the beam. Darkseid shoots Orion with his omega-beams which prompts Supergirl to beat him up and crash into the cannon that shoots the beam. Supergirl, who had previously run away, returns home to the Kents.

Continuity Peg-
 
Continuity References-

We see the ‘source wall’, which also made an appearance in the episode ‘Destroyer’. We see ‘the bug’ fighting along with Lightray and Big Barda from the episode ‘Twilight’.

We see Supergirl’s quarters in the opening.

Continuity Go Bye Bye

Darkseid is alive and kicking when the episodes ‘Twilight’ and ‘Alive’ strictly place him under the ‘dead villains’ category. 

Note how Orion ‘survives’ Darkseid’s omega beam.

It is interesting how Aquaman is seen fighting in an outer-space mission though the episodes seem to keep him away from duties that don’t involve the waters.

We see many Javelins in this book. None of them are the new standard-edition ones, but are copies of the Javelin-7 from the first and second JL seasons..

Fashion Sense

Elongated Man, Ice, Aquaman, and Wonder Woman all have specially colored space-suits.

We see Dmitri under Rocket Red’s helmet.

Barda wears her Beyond suit, which is also seen in the episode ‘The Ties That Bind’.
