First Appearances: No first appearances Final Appearances: No final appearances Synopsis: Day 2: The Cult of Conner attempts a ceremony to bring Sue Dibny back to life. Ralph Dibny has brought Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Metamorpho, and Zauriel along with him, hoping that the four of them might have special insight on the process of resurrection, having all cheated death themselves. The five heroes communicate telepathically via Green Lantern's ring during the ceremony, most of them believing it all to be an elaborate con put on by the cult's leader, Devem.

Isis and Black Adam break up a child slavery ring in southwestern Asia. Isis successfully convinces Adam not to kill the children's captors. These were just some of the many children the pair had freed in Isis's search for her brother Amon.

Ralph becomes convinced that the ceremony is an elaborate hoax, and the five heroes begin tearing the place apart. Cassie Sandsmark is furious at Ralph for having used her to gain entrance into the cult, but she is quickly subdued by Green Lantern. The place quickly erupts into flames. All of a sudden, Ralph hears his late wife's voice, saying his name. The effigy of Sue used for the ceremony is crawling towards him, pulling on his robe. Ralph realizes the error he had just made, that the ceremony had in fact been genuine. However, it is too late. The heroes are barely able to get everyone out of the burning build in time before it collapses.

Day 3: Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Metamorpho, and Zauriel inspect the ruins of the collapsed building for the remains of Ralph, who has gone missing. They find nothing.

Meanwhile, under a nearby bridge, Ralph clutches the burnt remains of his wife's effigy as a mysterious figure watches from the shadows.
