Justice League: Dark Tomorrow Special

Justice League: Dark Tomorrow Special came out this week from DC Comics.

Here's the official summery: "In the wake of the We Are Yesterday crossover epic, a mysterious Quantum Quorum has emerged… stalked by a lethal enemy that takes no prisoners. The League deputizes a rag tag group of time displaced heroes like Batman Beyond, Gold Beetle, and Helena Wayne to fill the void left behind by the Time Masters and save the quorum from the mysterious threat that’s picking off time-travelers one by one. These Legends of Tomorrow are the only ones standing in the way of this cascading chronal Armageddon with the past, present, and future teetering on the brink in this oversized special leading to the next big DC All In event!"

The front cover features Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Booster Gold, Gold Beetle, the Huntress and Batman Beyond. Batman and Superman does not appear in this special and Wonder Woman only appears briefly. Mister Terrific, the Atom, Red Tornado and Supergirl also appear briefly. This issue introduces a new name and look for an existing superhero that goes by the name of Legend.

Young All-Stars #12 (1988)

Young All-Stars #12 (1988) is the tenth and final comic book in the Ollie's grab bag. The cover features Flying Fox, Fury, Tsunami, Dan the Dyna-Mite, Iron Munro and Neptune Perkins. This issue's story it titled "'M' Is For 'Monster'!" and starts with Iron Munro showing off his first super hero costume that only Dan likes. Tigress also appears in this issue as a team member. Fury gets miffed and storms off and Arn chases after her only to find her frozen. Robotman, Mekanique and Amazing Man from the All-Star Squadron are standing there and they tell him that Fury ran into Mekanique after stomping off the elevator. Arn slaps Fury, who proceeds to tell them that she had a dream about a giant Mekanique going on a rampage. Mekanique and Fury hug it out but the later has a vision of the giant getting ready to stomp on Johnny Quick and Liberty Belle. She starts getting angry and the Greek fury known as the Blood Avenger starts possessing her. Luckily, Arn is able to calm her, which makes her faint.

The rest of the Young All-Stars come running to the scene before they all take her to a secret underground lab on Bedloe Island, home of the Statue of Liberty. There they meet Professor Mazursky and Robotman's friend, Dr. Grayson. Per Degaton the lab assistant is lurking around. In the lab, the team find man interesting sights including G.I. Robot, an unnamed plant man, a giant ape that is obviously King Kong, a T Rex from Monster Island and Miss America in suspended animation. Arn goes over Fury's origins again before Dr. Grayson tries to her with a giant machine. Meanwhile, Per Degaton meets with Deathbolt, who is carrying the brain of the Ultra-Humanite. A battle quickly starts before Ultra-Humanite's mind transfers into the body of the T Rex.

I had several issues of this series (#1, 3, 4, 5, 6,7, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, 21 and Annual #1) but sold them years ago.
