Ray: It’s the final chapter of “We Are Yesterday”, a cosmic epic that saw the Legion of Doom of the past make their way to the present, courtesy of a Gorilla Grodd upgraded with Martian Manhunter’s psychic abilities. The last chapter saw both sides bring their big guns – the heroes recruited allies from across the past and future of the DCU, including Batman Beyond and a very confused Jonah Hex. Meanwhile, Grodd fully absorbed the leftover Omega Energy left by Darkseid and essentially turned himself into a God. And then there’s Air Wave, who was tricked into betraying the Justice League and was seemingly killed – but now finds himself channeling the same energy that Grodd does, making him the only hope the heroes do. This is the setup for a packed final issue – one with a ton of combat and some surprisingly great character work that leaves a lot of potential for future stories.

Easily one of my favorite bits about this issue is the way the heroes from the past and future interact with the present day, and given the ending, it seems like there might be quite a bit more of these fun bits going forward. You also have a surprising spotlight for Martian Manhunter, who unlike Barry Allen is staying active with the heroes and waging a real fight to get his powers back. Most of the Legion of Doom is out of focus this issue besides Grodd (and Joker getting a well-deserved beating), but Pythoness continues to be interesting. This character came seemingly out of nowhere, is dead in this timeline, and has her own agenda. I’m guessing Waid has some big plans for her. What intrigues me the most about this issue is the way it leaves so many unanswered questions, with the nature of time in the DCU being radically changed by the outcome. Fun, smaller-scale crossover that’s likely leading up to something very big.
