  1. I love that the time traveler is named Tom Davidson. I didn’t catch that the first time I read this.

  2. I love this story more every time. It encapsulates issues to being the first meta and the JSA disbandment, but in a simpler explanation. I think I’ll use this if I need to teach a mundane that comics aren’t just for jids and cover real issues of over reach and zealotry making things worse.

  3. The last page of this story makes me cry every time I read it. So good.

  4. Just re-reading this (again 🙂 ) and I have noticed in the last panel; the vase in the background, surely that is not the same vase that Tom used to threaten Zodon?

    1. Looks suspiciously similar, yes.

  5. Aaron, I’m reading this for the first time. I was a fan of Nodwick back when it was in Dragon, and while browsing TVTropes, I ran across a reference to it, followed links, and ended up here. I’ve bee reading straight through for a couple hours now. I can’t put this down. And this arc, with Naomi, has me crying. I haven’t cried while reading a book in ages (the last time was Diane Duane’s Deep Wizardry, back when in the ’90s), and while reading a comic, never.

    This should be required reading in every American History/Literature/Civics class. It really should. Never have I read anything that so brilliantly takes on what we can so easily become, in the name of “America”. Thank you.
