Jenny Sparks #6

As the war of words continues between Jenny Sparks and Captain Atom, Jenny Sparks #6 continues to explore what it means to be a hero. We get references to not one but two pandemics Jenny lived through, first in 1918 and then in 2020 where her frustration boiled over that not even Superman could help. There's a really nice moment between the pair in a flashback driving home the point of mask mandates and social distancing that far, far too many Americans missed.

In terms of the present story, Jenny agrees, albeit a bit sarcastically, to make the psychotic hero God, but then blames him for not doing enough with his powers to actually fix the world. Here we get references to The Authority and Jenny's attempts to remake the world along with a challenge for Captain Atom to do better that ends with the new God "fixing" the world for Jenny by making it disappear. What's next?
