Last Issue Special # 1: Justice League International


SERIES: Justice League International (formerly Justice League Europe)

DATE: 1994

THOSE RESPONSIBLE: Christopher Priest (writer) & Brian Augustyn (editor)

CATEGORY: SILENCE

For Justice League International, doom would come in the form of the company-wide Zero Hour crossover. DC's post-Crisis Justice League titles were in a state of flux by the early 90s, and Justice League International was no different, with frequent line-up and creative changes that left the book in a lackluster state. The final three-issue story arc deals with the bland super hero Triumph, who, in a burst of retroactive continuity, is revealed to have been one of the original members of the Justice League erased from everyone's memory by a time-blip. The final issue ends like most tie-ins to Zero Hour, with the last few pages gradually fading out into pure white. Unlike the other tie-ins, however, there would never be a follow-up issue.
