In the midst of a battle with the Time Commander and Epoch, various members of the JLA are cast into different time periods throughout history. This issue is a collection of those short stories by various writers and artists.
-Roy Harper & Hal Jordan journey to the American old West and face off with a crooked sheriff and his deputies.
-Vixen and John Stewart find themselves in Camelot and face off with Morgan le Fey.
-Black Canary and Zatanna team up in the 1930s with the Crimson Avenger.
-Firestorm and Green Arrow team up with the Bride to take on Ra's al Ghul during WW2.
-Wonder Woman and John Henry Irons battle Starro as pirates during the 1600s.
-Superman and the female Dr Light battle Steppenwolf during the samurai period in Japan.
Back in the present, Snapper Carr and Cheetah assist the League in taking down the Time Commander. However, it turns out that Epoch only used them as a distraction to steal back his hourglass.
Thoughts:
I got this in the bargain bin for a dollar so I can't really complain. Some of these short stories were pretty fun and the art was much better in some than in others. I particularly liked the ones with Vixen/John, Canary/Zatanna and Roy/Hal. It's always a good thing when you find anything you enjoy for a buck.
