When you get right down to it, "heal the world" is a pretty nebulous mission. I mean, I think we can all agree that it's a good idea, but there's not a lot of direction there on how to actually get it done. Do you get a bunch of recording stars together to cut a ridiculously patronizing Christmas song to raise money for famine? Do you just plant a couple of trees and call it a day? Or, do you just look around and see if there's anything making your mom sad that you can deal with right now?

Well, if you're Khalid Nassour, better known as the current incarnation of Doctor Fate, you go with that last one and hope it all works out for the best. That's what happens in next week's issue, Doctor Fate #8 (or Dr. F8) from Paul Levitz and Ibrahim Moustafa, and you can see how it all starts with the preview below!

If you're a little lost by all this, well, first of all you really ought to catch up because Doctor Fate is a whole lot of fun. Really though, you just need to know that Anubis has caused a bunch of terrible stuff to happen, and its up to Khalid to fix it.

And here is DC's official solicitation info:
