But time is fluid in so many ways, and elements of history begin spilling into the present, while a mysterious woman appears to recruit the JLA for a mission to save existence. Is she crazy? Well, she knows about the Crisis and Flashpoint, so clearly she has an awareness most residents of the DC Universe do not. It’s a good launch; simple, streamlined and it left me looking for more.
My only issue is the usual conceit of big-time super-heroes, like Superman. “If the past was changed, wouldn’t we know about it?” No, dumb ass! If the past changes, it alters everything about the present – everything! Including your own awareness. You can’t very well ask, “What happened to that thing that never existed?”
But the artwork is good. Pasarin and Ryan make a lot of ambitious rendering look pretty darn easy: the 31st century, the father of Zeus devouring his children, destruction in the 26th century.
This is one of those comics for which I would definitely stick around.
