"Jarro's Tale: A Justice / Doom War Prelude" delivers a bold, time-spanning mystery in Justice League #5 (2020), weaving together past, present, and future as Flash and Green Lantern uncover forgotten ties to the JSA in a pivotal moment before Pearl Harbor. With Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV at the helm and Jorge Jiménez bringing the action to life through dynamic art and bold inks, the story unfolds across eras—where heroes hunt a Totality fragment, face a Brainiac-ruled future, and race to the edge of existence to summon the Anti-Monitor. Francis Manapul’s striking cover captures the scale of the conflict, setting the stage for a war that echoes through time.
