Repost from THE WORLD TODAY JUST NUTS:
ZERO HOUR CRISIS IN TIME
Used KINDLE UNLIMITED to read DC's ZERO HOUR CRISIS IN TIME.
This
is a 1994 comic. And, if you're not getting how far we've come, the
cover features over 15 superheroes and only one, Batgirl, is a woman.
That's what passed for 'progress' in the 90s.
Batgirl
shows up early in the comic, roping Joker. Shocking Batman and Robin
who remember when Barbara Gordon was paralyzed. Eventually, Hawkgirl
shows up in a panel -- she doesn't get a line. Eventually, Wonder Woman
shows up and actually gets a line (worried to Power Girl, should Power
Girl have responded to Superman's summons when she's pregnant?). Then a
panel with a ton of heroes behind her. I recognized Lighting Lad, the
Atom, Saturn Girl, Shazam, Green Lantern, Batman, Robin, Batgirl,
Aquaman . . .
Donna Troy shows up -- but which Donna Troy, from which reality? Donna Troy is Wonder Girl.
The comic brings past and present heroes together -- from different time lines and realities.
Supergirl
and Wonder Woman appear to take time mid-wifing Power Girl's baby. At
one point, a male hero I don't know offered to help because he's helped
his wife deliver a baby and Wonder Woman sends him away saying he's
needed for the battle outside and she's more than capable of helping
Power Girl.
When did Wonder Woman have a baby? She didn't. And her butt should have been in the battle.
A Green Lantern shows up calling himself Parallax.
Batgirl notes that it's "weird to hear I'm from an alternate timeline." She insists she has feelings and memories.
Not for long.
She
dies shortly after. In a tiny panel. It's a tiny story -- four comic
book issues. They use a lot of close ups and it's awful. You want to
see action in big panels. Time and again, the action scenes are weak
and the panels small. (Yes, you can enlarge them by clicking on them.
But I'm referring to the panels in relation to the original comic book
page they appeared on.)
They use way too many face shots on top of that.
A dull comic.
