And really was just a mishmash that did nothing but kill half the JSA and make Hawkman totally untouchable?<BR/><BR/>This is an anniversary event for COIE, to be certain, and shares common traits with it intentionally. But, whether I believe they'll stick or not, DC is trying to make some long-lasting changes with this story, of the sort that were utterly lacking in Zero Hour.
