21st century technology appears in the 1940s. The venerable Justice Society of America seizes the chance to build a better tomorrow. But mysterious strangers from the year 2000 soon follow. Strangers determined to take back their gee-whiz gizmos and miracle cures. Strangers who call themselves the Justice League of America. Strangers whose soulless, frightful future must be prevented at all costs!
Tom Peyer is an American comic book creator and editor.
He is known for his 1999 revisioning of Golden Age super-hero Hourman, as well as his work on the Legion of Super-Heroes in the 1990s. An editor at DC Comics/Vertigo from 1987 to 1993, he served as assistant editor on Neil Gaiman's groundbreaking Sandman. Peyer has also worked for Marvel Comics, Wildstorm, and Bongo Comics. With John Layman, he wrote the 2007–2009 Tek Jansen comic book, based on the Stephen Colbert character.
In this first volume of "Two Thousand" the JSA of 1941 is challenged by sudden occurrences of advanced technology from the 60 years in the future. Complicating matters is the appearance of the 21st century JLA, which has a hidden agenda of its own. Expect some good team on team action, a villain from the future and a fairly good time travel story.
An enjoyable two-parter, well written and balanced, paradoxes and jeopardy. I'm not sure I had read a T.O.Morrow story before, I understand there aren't many, but I look forward to my next chance to read a Tom Peyer story.
