Synopsis: And...at the last second, Ambrose saves Morningstar's life. David packs things up at the Mercer Island estate and Porter Scott is asked to take a vacation. Thor discovers an evil planet that has suddenly appeared behind the moon. In Philadelphia the Elementals discover that Captain Cadaver has been busy, making other vampires. Morningstar sleeps away a week at Avalon. When she awakens, Ambrose reveals his true feelings about her and in turn, proposes. In a beautiful ceremony held inside the floating palace of Avalon, the two are wed.

AtomicAvenue Review: The Elementals are a loose band of super-heroes from the Comico world. Created by Bill Willingham, they first appeared in the Justice Machine annual. In that story, four regular people were chosen to become super-powered heroes, modeled on the four elder forces of nature. The green-skinned Fathom represents water; Vortex represents air; Monolith draws powers from the earth; and Morningstar has powers based on fire. Although this first series treads through many standard super-hero plots, Willingham always gave the Elementals an extra dimension of reality and characterization which made the series special.

The Elementals team consisted of:

Morningstar, aka Jeanette Crane, a Los Angeles homicide detective who had burned to death while confronting a serial arsonist; she received various fire-related abilities, including pyrokinesis and an immunity to fire.

Vortex, aka Jeff Murphy, a Coast Guard pilot who was asphyxiated in a helicopter crash; he received various air-related abilities, including flight and wind-blasts.

Fathom, aka Becky Golden, a flighty debutante who fell off a boat and drowned; she received various water-related abilities, as well as bright green skin and webbed fingers. She was also able to convert her body entirely into sentient water and shoot high-pressure streams.

Monolith, aka Tommy Czuchra, a brilliant if introverted teenage boy who was crushed to death by a landslide; he received the ability to become an enormous super-strong stone/earth golem. Later, Tommy came to follow Saker's view that the supernatural beings were entitled to be in charge across earth, and he quit the Elementals and absorbed some of Saker's 'black' magic, to become one of his generals. Monolith was then re-embodied in a deceased insurance salesman (Donald Ridgeway), who neither wanted the power, nor ever understood fully how to use it or how to integrate with the other three Elementals.
