It’s like Groundhog’s Day but if you don’t stop the bad guys every day all of existence is destroyed.
DC wanted to de-clutter their continuity after COIE, but they also didn’t want to permanently take any toys off the table so they trapped their WW2 vets in a perpetual Götterdämmerung.
Brutal…
Being stuck in a Ragnarok time-loop forced to continually fight to stop the destruction of the universe is such a brutally apt metaphor for superhero comics.
This one-shot about the last mission of the JSA is steeped in pre and post-Crisis continuity and time paradox jargon, but Thomas manages to get an entertaining story out this comic created essentially just so DC could take the modern JSA off the table when they became "redundant” after COIE.
