The first Hourman sits alone at the end of time, having given
his life to protect humanity. Sand, former chairman of the
JSA, became one with the planet Earth to keep it whole. Hal
Jordon sacrificed himself to become the new Spectre and keep
the world safe. Those sacrifices are acknowledged and the
JSA find themselves visiting old friends and new, rectifying
injustices, aware that as they fix any problem, an even larger
one is brewing in the timestream...
Lost
is a fairly gripping JSA collection, which should keep
the majority of fans of the series entertained for the duration.
Most of the members of the JSA get a look in at some time
in this graphic novel, although fans of Hourman will be pleased
to see that this character has more to do than the rest of
the team.
The
Flash spends some time possessed by an evil entity that forces
him to attack his allies, while Hourman is forced to come
to terms with the painful relationship he has with his wife
and son. Hourman knows he must sacrifice his life to ensure
that everyone survives, but his son (the next generation Hourman)
is determined that he will take his father's place, ensuring
that he dies, while his father can go back and patch things
up with his wife.
There
is even a quick rundown of what has gone before - in case
you've forgotten, or missed the previous collections.
My
main disappointment was that Power Girl didn't feature in
this collection as much as she should have. Hell, if I had
my way there would be a Power Girl graphic novel out every
week.
Another
worthy addition to the JSA stable.
