This issue was interesting. A bit predictable. But interesting. It appears that these classified titles are where DC is testing new talent of late. This issue it seems we have a new writer, by the name of James Peaty. He writes an interesting story. Like I said, it was predictable, but I would guess there's really only so much you can do with these characters on one of these titles. They did bring back the Time Commander here though. But . . . he didn't last long. He grabs the hourglass from around Rick's neck . . . he wants to absorb the Chronal energy . . but it turns out to be more than he can handle. And is dissipates him where he stands. But really the story was about the husband and wife team of Hour-man and Liberty Belle. The Time Commander had kidnapped Liberty, to draw out Rick. And because they share such a love, he was stopping at nothing until his wife was returned to him. It was kind of a touching story. Freddie E Williams II does the art. Is it just me, or does he and Adam Beechen seem to be all over the place in the DC Universe right now? It was ok. But the part I really didn't like was the whole time-travel theme. It seems like that theme is getting tossed around quite a bit right now. Action Comics, Teen Titans, Booster Gold, and now JSA Classified have all had that theme as a basis in their books in the last couple of months. It's ok, every now and then. But it seems like it's getting thrown around an awful lot lately. And you know what they say about to much of a good thing. But overall, I thought it was a decent book. And, it had a happy ending.
