Synopsis

Enemy Ace forms a quick alliance with Stargirl. He explains the pocket dimension's mechanics: an unseen force continually restocks them with fuel, ammunition, and rations just to keep them killing each other. While Batgirl and Vandal Savage navigate underground tunnels to avoid active bombardments, the rest of the League engages the other brainwashed, time-displaced soldiers. The issue ends with the shocking revelation that a rogue, cosmic-powered OMAC is pulling the strings and weaponizing the conflict.

Collector Notes

The Stargirl/Enemy Ace partnership is the emotional throughline of the arc: a 21st-century teenage hero and a WWI ace finding common ground in their respective codes of conduct. OMAC as the antagonist pulling the time-displaced warriors into a manufactured war gives the story a pointed critique of those who profit from endless conflict.
