Justice Society of America 8 opens with Carter and Shiera Hall in Egypt. It picks up with their side of the conversation with Alan Scott and jay Garrick from the second issue. Workmen on the dig open a mysterious, "third eye" sarcophagus!

Weeks later, Johnny Chambers is working with Rex Tyler to try to unlock some inner strength that can help Rex's son Rick endure more chemotherapy. In the same hospital, Wesley Dodds is recovering from the stroke he had in the first issue. African Bishop Tumutuu is also being treated there.

Outside there are protesters, some of whom want to harm Bishop Tumutuu!

Johnny, Jesse and Rex fight off the protesters.

But who can protect Bishop Tumutuu?

Who is behind this campaign of hate?
