Zero Hour: Crisis in Time

DC’s 1994 event series Zero Hour: Crisis in Time is a five-issue time-spanning saga written and drawn by Dan Jurgens, designed to streamline the publisher’s continuity after the sprawling aftermath of earlier crossovers. The story follows a temporal anomaly that threatens to unravel all of history, forcing heroes from across the DC Universe to confront a cosmic threat born from a fallen former ally. Notable for its ambitious restructuring of the DC timeline, the series serves as a direct sequel to the classic Crisis on Infinite Earths, cementing Jurgens’ role as a key architect of the era’s narrative housekeeping.
