DC decided that the JSA had just gotten too old and no amount of magic pixie dust could explain how characters in their 60's and 70's could still be in action.







This is it three characters became one 2 guys and woman ( which did make you wonder what was under the Hawk-god"'s loin cloth.

I will admit tho' hawkman didn't get it worst in Zero hour. That would be Guy Gardner and that whole "Warrior" mess...

Zero Hour also featured the "permanent" retirement of the Golden Age Flash and Green Lantern. The very next issue of The Flash, Jay Garrick is back in costume and still running at top speed. IIRC, Mark Waid himself all but admitted in an interview that this was an intentional "fuck you" to Zero Hour.

Heh, I stand corrected. I love Mark Waid's "fuck you"'s

My all time favourite was when he was writing JLA, post-Morrison. Around the same time, The Authority was the big hubbub of the industry. So, someone asked him if he's thought about writing a team-up.

His response? "I dont know if it'd be much of a team-up. The first page would be the JLA locking up The Authority. The rest of the comic would be a JLA story."
