   Flash attempts to repair the Watchtower solo while Cyborg and Wonder Woman use their globe scattering to do some humanitarian work in Niger. Victor laments the fact the Fan was able to use the Transporter against them. 

Victor blew it.

   Meanwhile Green Lantern Jessica picks up a frozen Batman in Nepal. He knows the League is questioning his leadership, indeed coincidentally meeting at the time via hologram at the Daily Planet. Batman's recent founding of a second League is troubling.
   Back at the Watchtower, Flash sees a Lexcorp maintenance crew has attempted to manually dock, knocking it's passenger unconscious. He puts on a spacesuit but forgot to check the levels, leaving him in trouble.

Wait, no. Flash blew it.

   On the station's opposite side, the rest of the team returns with Baz lamenting his role in the organization. Back outside, Flash has likely killed the person he was trying to rescue. Batman and Jessica return which sets up a showdown between him and Superman, while Flash gathers steam and runs out of his suit.

BEHOLD! The most words I've ever seen on a comic book page!

   Batman agrees to step down as team leader when Flash runs into the side of the station. They bring him in and tend to him while Jess heads to the locker room to console Bruce. She ends up trying to make out with him, which clearly will go over well with Catwoman. Bruce heads back to the bridge and nominates Victor as the new team leader. And with that, this long winded and overworded tale is left to be continued.

It's not nice to point, Brucie.

   It was recently announced that Christopher Priest's run would end after 12 books. That's to bad, as I was enjoying where he was taking the series, though noticed he was starting to get a little too descriptive. The sequence where Flash is in space has more words than I've ever seen in a comic book. Still doesn't change my view on it too much. I give this one a 9/10.
