Overall Summary: 
Phantom Lady and the other heroes split up to return to their civilian responsibilities after the defeat of the Ultra-Humanite and her operatives. Elsewhere, the Justice Society investigate Dr. Fate's search for the Spectre somewhere in the multiverse.   


Plot Summary:
The All-Star Squadron has completed their recent battle against the Ultra-Humanite. Green Lantern graciously offers to take all of the heroes back to where they need to go. For Phantom Lady, this is back to California, where she left her father Senator Henry Knight during the battles with Infinity, Inc and Vulcan and the Mist. 


Review: 
I almost did not include this story in the Freedom Fighters' roll call of appearances. However, Phantom Lady is clearly shown here, so even though she has no line of dialogue, this does establish that she is a member in good-standing of the All-Star Squadron. 

Freedom Fanmail
There is no mention of any Freedom Fighters in the letter column this issue; all the letters are in relation to the debut of Amazing Man, from All-Star Squadron #22.
