    Cover pencils by Randy Green, inks by John Tighe. "Fire from Heaven Finale: Part 1 of 3", script by Warren Ellis, pencils by Randy Green, inks by John Tighe, Richard Friend, and Luke Rizzo; The first several pages of this issue summarize the Fire From Heaven crossover to date; We see that Grifter has convinced Void to teleport Team 7 to the moon since they are the ones fighting for their lives; Union disagrees, though, and steps into Void's teleport field to be transported to the moon as well; It turns out that Union is following a feeling that he experienced back on Gamorra; The Sword of Damocles knows that feeling too; It turns out that, like Damocles and Dr. Tsung are dimensional counterparts, so are Union and the Sword! The rest of the issue shows their epic battle; The Sword feels that this soft, unworthy copy of himself must die; Union reasons that the Sword's energy blade is the analog to Union's energy staff, so he knows the Sword must also have an equivalent to Union's Justice Stone. 36 pgs., full color. Cover price $2.50.
