Wonder Woman kneels, conflicted with the voice telling her to kill everyone. The darkness, Hunter says... and its already here. It lashes out at Baz and tries to get him to kill Steve, but he and the future Justice-Kids fight it while he threatens with lethal force. The kids introduce themselves to him and he quickly reminds them that time travel to fix things almost always makes them worse.

| Didn't your parents tell you not to play with time travel? |
Of the coast of Amnesty Bay, Sovereign descends. Dory tells her mother they need to go while Sovereign tells Mera that in the future timeline, she's Aquaman's queen. Explaining that their daughter is responsible for Arthur being in this shape in the first place, he tells his former queen that he was banished. He scavenged and found Cyborg's body, which he used for survival. Either way, tells Sovereign that she's there for her daughter. He opens a boom tube and they all walk through it.
 |
| Look. I did all that terrible stuff. Now walk through this glowing hole with me. |
Meanwhile aboard the Batplane, Batman asks Genie for Victor's coordinates and he sets course. Back with the children, Wonder Woman tells Steve that it's taking all she can to hold the Darkness back, and to keep Hunter safe because that's the only person it's telling her not to kill. Suddenly the boom tube opens and Sovereign falls through it. She attacks them all while Aquaman tells Mera to not get involved. She can't stand by and watch. Can he?!
Inside Wonder Woman's head, she debates with the creature. There's a connection to make, it tells her. Baz realizes the darkness is shifting focus. He unleashes green energy, telling the kids to make coordinated attacks, and to make their parents proud.
Speaking of parents, Superman, Cyborg, Jess and Flash are in limbo following Aquaman's red solar radiation attack. Victor realizes's they're in a space pocket in a boom tube wormhole. He finds a file and a message from Aquaman plays. He came back to kill the Justice League on Sovereign's orders but in the process, he was filled with hope. Now she must be stopped.
 |
| I changed my mind. We DON'T need to kill the Justice League. |
Now Aquaman fights alongside the children but it's not enough. And eventually they're all defeated. He leaves them a signal for where he is but to take caution. She's fought gods and defeated them, But now she's here for her daughter... Diana. A boom tube opnes and they pour out to help the Justice Kids, but they find Baz critically wounded. Slowly the darkness envelops all the current members of the Justice League and a demonic Wonder Woman prepares to kill everyone. What happens next? We'll have to wait to find out...

| Damn Wonder Woman. You scary. |
Holy wall of text, Batman! Look, there's no disputing that Bryan Hitch is an amazing writer. Sometimes though, I wonder if he should just write like.. a normal book. Because there's more words in this thing than War and Peace. Ok.. not really, but he's certainly wordy. Does a story of this magnitude warrant it? Maybe so. Like we all know, most team up books kind of have to stay complex. And if there's anything we know about this series, we've come to expect it. But if that's all I have to complain about, I'll take it. I give this one an 8/10.
