Last issue, the Guardians of the Universe took off to parts unknown with the Zamarons to start a new cosmic race or something. Before leaving, they told Hal Jordan and John Stewart they should both base themselves on Earth because Earth is destined to produce the successor race to the Guardians … in a few thousand years.

Last issue, a failed actor named But Weston re-invented himself as the Film Freak, staging crimes based on old movies. Batman and Catwoman got on his trail but always seemed to be one step behind.
