DC Finest: Zero Hour: Crisis in Time: Part One #[nn]
"Sum: Zero" kicks off a universe-shattering crisis in DC Finest: Zero Hour: Crisis in Time: Part One, a pivotal 2025 release from Dan Jurgens, who writes and draws this landmark issue with Jerry Ordway’s inks, Gregory Wright’s colors, and Gaspar’s lettering. In a future where the Time Trapper is under attack, the present unravels as a newly revived Batgirl fails to recognize Robin, while the Linear Men race against time to save The Flash in the 64th century and Green Lantern, as Pol Manning, in 5700 AD. As Batman and Superman rally the heroes, Hawkman fractures into multiple versions, Waverider arrives with Wally’s empty Flash suit, and Extant overtakes the last of the Linear Men at Vanishing Point—setting the stage for a timeline in collapse. The cover, by Dan Jurgens and Jerry Ordway, captures the moment the fabric of reality begins to fray.

In the distant future, an unseen figure attacks the Time Trapper. In the present, a young and healthy Batgirl appears, but doesn’t recognize Robin. The Linear Men realize that the universe is ceasing to exist, from the end of time backwards and seek to help The Flash in the 64th century and Green Lantern, as Pol Manning, in 5700 AD stop it. Back in the present, Batman and Superman summon the superhero community, but Hawkman seems to splinter into many Hawkmen, as Waverider appears with Wally’s empty Flash costume. Meanwhile, at Vanishing Point, Extant has overcome the remaining Linear Men.
