Black Adam and Isis follow the boy to the rockand the two families have a discussion on what it means to be a hero and how to find redemption. Pacified by Osiris' decision to remain with the family and work out their problems before violence overtakes them all, the Black Marvel Family returns to Kahndaq. Unfortunately, being a typical teenager, Osiris just told his family what they wanted to hear, and he's still determined to find a way to rid himself of the power, going so far as to call upon the name of Black Adam and rid himself of his special abilities, losing the use of his legs, as well.

Ever present, Sobek, who helped convince Osiris that he was doing the right thing by relinquishing his power, eats the helpless Osiris.

Out in the depths of space, we get to see two pivotal rebirths, as Lady Styx is birthed through the corpse of one of her followers, and the awesome yellow aliens rebuild and reinsert Animal Man into the universe. Of course, being reborn doesn't mean you can't die, and Animal Man, with no animals to draw from nearby, nearly suffocates in the vacuum of space. Reaching out with all his power, Animal Man touches the minds of the Sun Eaters that have been stalking the galaxy, tapping into their insanely incredible powers, which include the ability to survive in space.

Back-up Feature

• Glad to see that the battle with Lady Styx isn't over yet.
• lso glad to see Buddy baker get an upgrade on the level of power. Looks like hes on his way home. Just a quick stop to crush the new Lady Styx, hopefully.
• Eaten by a crocodile (or would that be a man-odile). Serves you right for not listening to your older brother with eons more experience than you. Stupid Osiris.
• I have to wonder what Sobek is, though. Could he be another man-mutant developed by Whisper A'Daire and Intergang. We haven't seen them for awhile.
