Review – Justice League: Dark Tomorrow Special #1

Justice League: Dark Tomorrow Special #1 cover, via DC Comics. Ray: The DCU has been thrown into flux in more ways than once since the death of Darkseid, and one of those ways is that time just isn't what it used to be. We just saw a Legion of Doom from the past come to the present and begin terrorizing the heroes, only to leave dozens of time-displaced heroes stuck in the present. Now, someone is hunting the time travelers of the DCU – as this oversized tie-in issue kicks off with Waverider and Extant being murdered. A mysterious masked time traveler nicknamed Legend battles his way to the present day to seek the League's help – but he's not the only one who arrives. Gold Beetle, the young protege (daughter?) of Booster and Beetle is seeking help for her own temporal anomaly, seemingly causing her to blink in and out of existence. And that's the first clue that something very wrong is going on with Omega-powered villains targeting heroes across time. Hunted. Via DC Comics. While this isn't the start of a new series, it does put a new team together – Legend assembling a squad of time-displaced heroes, including Air Wave, Amazing Man, Batman Beyond, the Helena Wayne Huntress, and a very reluctant Jonah Hex. This group on a ship together, including the very hyper Gold Beetle, is mileage enough for a series, but they're not going to have much time to bond. They have to go up against an army of shadow-powered Omega Demons who are led by a familiar face from the thirtieth century, tying into an upcoming event taking place in the pages of Superman. The reason this is only a one-shot is made pretty clear at the end, as our heroes find themselves in a serious fix. It's great to see some of the DCU's top cult heroes again, particularly Jonah Hex, and the ongoing subplot of Air Wave seeking redemption is very compelling. More of this crew after the next event, please. To find reviews of all the DC issues, visit DC This Week. GeekDad received this comic for review purposes. Liked it?
