Comment(s):

The main story takes place in April 1942.
The members of the Freedom Fighters listed were said to have suddenly disappeared (readers learn they were swept up into the Crisis on Infinite Earths) but they had previously left Earth-Two to help fight the Nazis on Earth-X.

Solicitation:

Red skies continue to appear over 1942 Earth-Two as the All-Stars conclude their battle with the Monster Society of Evil. Plus, Harbinger sends Firebrand to Earth's past to stop the Ultra-Humanite!
