    Short summary describing this issue.

    No recent wiki edits to this page.

    The Dream King relinquishes center stage to his sister Death for a standalone issue, as she visits a long-forgotten, cult-favorite DCU character called Element Girl. Check in with the former hero as she deals with the devastating reality of her tragic existence…

    In a darkened room, a woman sits, smoking cigarettes and wishing she was normal. The woman is Urania Blackwell - better known to some as Element Girl, though she doesn't go by that name anymore. Now she's just 'Ranie'. Ranie is a depressed recluse, retired from the C.I.A. and living in an apartment somewhere on her government pension and talking once a week to someone in the benefits office as her sole form of human interaction. That is, until one day she receives a call from an old friend.

    Dream does not appear in this issue.

    The problem with comics is that they only ever show (or at least used to show) the good side of being a superhero. Wouldn't it be awesome to have superpowers?  But if we are to accept superpowers as a reality, then surely there must be a downside, right? I'm not talking about that 'With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility' cliché we're so often fed.
