Issue Summary
This story switches back and forth between Cerebus and Bishop Powers. Cerebus is talking with Bran, who is trying to convince Cerebus that all that is happening is Cerebus' destiny. Bran has some convincing evidence, including the fact that most of the gold coins Cerebus has collected are very old (including one minted by Tarim himself.) Bishop Powers negotiates the decision of who will replace Weisshaupt as President. Lord Julius shows up. Julius manipulates Powers like the master he is. By the end he has Powers thinking about taking the presidency for himself.
Note: This issue marks the first Note From the President.
