Time Warp #1
In "If the World Had to End Twice...", Commander Saturn faces a desperate choice: erase all life on Earth to halt an alien invasion, leaving only two survivors to rebuild. Years later, he prepares to use the solar laser once more—not to destroy, but to clear the ice for their final refuge. Written by Denny O'Neil and illustrated by Rich Buckler, with inks by Bob Smith, colors by Gene D'Angelo, and letters by Ben Oda, this 1979 DC story unfolds with quiet, haunting weight. The cover, a striking vision by Michael Wm. Kaluta, captures the stark beauty of a world reborn from ruin.
In a world scarred by an alien invasion, Commander Jake Saturn makes a devastating choice to save humanity by erasing all life on Earth with a solar laser.

In the scorched ruins of a world undone, two women—Charity and Felicity—cling to hope as an alien rescue mission arrives. But when the pilot is killed by the survivors, the chance to escape to a new world hangs in the balance.
In the isolated human outpost on an alien world, Laurel Jenkins finds herself transformed into one of the "smellies," the enigmatic native species hunting their kind. Now caught between two worlds, she must infiltrate the alien ranks to gather vital intelligence—while hiding her true identity from both sides.
Michael, Gloria, and Les journey to a distant planet in search of answers about Steve Denton, whose sudden disappearance was marked only by a single, chilling word: "Monster." As they explore the alien world, the past and present begin to blur, and the line between fear and truth grows dangerously thin.
