CHAPTER ONE
To
create a greater
understanding of the
history
of
the DC Universe and what little is
known
about its
future, the time-traveling super
hero
Chronos once again opened
the
passages
of time to us.
Carefully composing a
detailed history of
the
DC Universe
from
the
dawn
of
time up
until
the Heroic
Age, Chronos
has also decided to
choose
a
number of notable
events
that will
happen
in
the future to help
illustrate
where
the
course of
time may flow.
