Comic Timing Episode 231 – Zero Hour: A Crisis in Time Retrospective

Leave a comment

Time is broken!!! Travel thirty years into the past with us, as we investigate the cause of this calamity. Boarding the time vessel (not Time Bubble, that’s taken) to dissect Zero Hour in full for this episode is the crew of Ian, Adam Murdough, Chris Eberle and Shane Kelly. Topics include the lasting impact of Zero Hour, the Showcase ’94 prologue and why they’re included in the collection, whether or not it quantifies itself as a Crisis in the DC sense, the temporary return of Batgirl, Dan Jurgens’ scripting and how the story holds up, tie-in books that are worth it and are worth skipping, the Parallax of it all, why Monarch is not exactly the most remembered villain (and neither is Extant), the fate of the Justice Society post-Zero Hour, and so much more. We also delve into the recently released Zero Hour 30th Anniversary Special by Dan Jurgens and Ron Marz, and how that might unexpectedly factor into upcoming DC Comics storylines.
