“The War at Time's End”

In "The War at Time's End," the Challengers of the Unknown—Rocky, Ace, June, Swamp Thing, and Deadman—find themselves in a future where Rip Hunter and his team have fallen under the control of the tyrannical Sunset Lords. Trapped in a battle they don’t understand, the group is overpowered and captured, setting the stage for a desperate struggle across time and fate. Written by Gerry Conway and illustrated by Keith Giffen, with inks by John Celardo and colors by Gene D'Angelo, the issue’s cover by Rich Buckler and Frank Giacoia captures the urgency of the moment.
