Zero Hour Strikes!

Legion - End of an Era is a big chunk of what makes Zero Hour important, as the future holds some of the most important impacts of the event. Join Bass and Siskoid as they cover Legionnaires #17-18, Valor #22-23, and Legion of Super-Heroes #60-61. It's the end of the Five Years Later era, but really, it's the end of something that started way back in 1958! Listen to the Zero Hour Strikes! Episode...

One could say the whole of Hawkman's post-Crisis history is an anomaly. So... does Bass like Hawkman now? Only one way to find out... Listen to the Zero...

Episode 7, Bass and Siskoid connect back to the Batman Family again (it's the '90s, what can we say) to cover Batman: Shadow of the Bat #31 and Robin #10, where temporal anomalies continue to hit Gotham City.
