Have the greatest heroes of yesteryear doomed the world of today?!

In the 1940s, the venerable Justice Society of America seize the 21st-century technology from a time-traveling villain. With their super-computers and biotech booty, the JSA can now shape a bright future for all.

But their heroic initiative is opposed by the mysterious Justice League of America, outlandish "heroes" from the year 2000 out to preserve their own frightening future.

Could the JSA be making a huge mistake? Can the original super-team risk trusting the JLA? Or have their good intentions sealed the fate of the world?

This is the second 64 page book of the 2 part mini, and is equally as good as the first. T.O. Morrow has started a technology war across time, drawing in the JSA and JLA against each other, and the future is being re-written. It all goes wrong of course, even for Morrow. Scripter Tom Peyer writes a solid story, with a ‘throw everything but the kitchen sink’ ending, and captures the JSA well. The art team of Val Semeiks and Prentis Rollins also deliver.
Very entertaining, and recommended.

This is a cartoon time bender of a JSA/JLA team-up. Ironically, I have waited about twenty years to read the concluding volume, here. It makes me miss the Grant Morrison and Tom Peyer version of Hourman, who has a small part here. Perhaps I can reread Morrison's DC 1,000,000...
Mildly recommended.

Good ole time travel story, but it moved too fast for me. I would have liked a but more time easing into this story.
