Stories

Chase to the End of Time! · 18 pages
The warring alien races the Volkir and the Zelkot come to Earth in pursuit of Zelkot Iylar who hopes to travel through time and prevent the aliens' war from ever beginning. The Zelkot threaten to destroy Earth if The Flash does not help Iylar complete his mission. But after The Flash heads off after Iylar, the Volkir convince Superman to stop Iylar or he will change history and Krypton will explode eons earlier than it did.
