Mr. Terrific and the captured super heroes put their plan in motion on the arrival of the leader of the Fourth Reich in this alternate future story that looks at what would have happened if the Justice Society had lost to the Fourth Reich and its power nullifier in the present. This story is gripping. What I like about Willingham is that he shows how the Nazi and World War Two element is essential to the identity of the Justice Society. This is an important part of the team’s history and he may have created in this storyline which is like a Days of the Future Past, an worthy villain that matches the anti mutant theme of the X-Men. My only worries is that this story will not go further and just simply ape what has been done in the X-Men. I really hope he can go beyond another classic. Merino is perfect for this storyline and I like how he draws the older super heroes.
Rating: 8.5/10
