Synopsis
Tempus Fuginaut observes a Dark Multiverse where after the Crisis on Infinite Earths, the new single Earth that is formed is based on Earth 2, not Earth 1. With their universe no longer in existence, the Justice League travel to Ragnarok to battle Surtur. When they fall in battle, Surtur arrives on new Earth to face the combined might of the All-Star Squadron. Surtur kills many of the team, and the surviving members retreat and regroup as the Justice Society of Earth to face Surtur in final battle. But one of the team must make a personal sacrifice in order to ensure the Earth's survival.

The Last Monitor Duke Thomas, who traveled from world to world to escape Barbatos, tries to rally the surviving heroes of Earth 0 to battle against the transformed Justice League and the Batman Who Laughs to save the last Earth.

Indexer Notes

The deaths of Robin of Earth-2 and the Huntress are not confirmed until the Last Days of Justice Society Special (DC, 1986 series) #1. Wonder Woman of Earth-1 is devolved into clay by a weakened anti-matter blast from the Anti-Monitor and her history is subsequently erased backwards through time per the Legend of Wonder Woman (DC, 1986 series). Kid Flash takes on the mantle of The Flash, though he is said to be limited to three times the speed of sound. The only persons who remember the multiverse are Roger Hayden (the Psycho Pirate), Pariah, Harbinger, and Lady Quark.

Wonder Woman and Hawkgirl battle the dark multiverse armies of Barbatos, while Aquaman, Green Lantern, Mr. Terrific, Deathstroke, and Plastic Man battle the Dark Knights. Wonder Woman descends to the Forge of Worlds where she faces a transformed Hawkman, who fights on the side of Barbatos, as Hawkgirl tries to reach Carter Hall, the man inside. Wonder Woman rescues Superman and Batman from the Forge of Worlds, and armored in Tenth Metal, they help turn the tide against the armies of Barbatos. Batman and an unexpected ally have a final battle with the Batman Who Laughs.

Indexer Notes

The Justice League and the other heroes are shown out of costume in civilian identities (except Swamp Thing and Detective Chimp). Martian Manhunter and Hawkgirl join the League.

Hawkman is shown to be unconscious, recovering after the battle. But before he fell unconscious he made notes of visions of things to come that he had seen while under the influence of Barbatos. Those visions include the Immortal Men, Controllers, Darkstars, the Dark Pantheon, and a vision of Atlantis rising to the surface.
