Time is getting even more jumbled as the original Avengers take on the original line-up of the Justice League of America.
Meanwhile, Access discovers who is behind this time caper and it's in my opinion the most unlikely super villain team-up of all: Magneto and Darkseid.
Their goal: to destroy the Marvel Universe.
I call the pairing of Darkseid and Magneto unlikely because of Magneto's desire to destroy the Marvel Universe. I would understand why Magneto would want to kill all the humans. But wouldn't his beloved fellow mutants get wiped out as well?
As for Darkseid- what does he have to gain with all of this? The Lord of Apokolips won't go to the bathroom if there's nothing for him to benefit from it. So what's his deal?
The plot is getting kinds thin. The action is top notch especially the battle between Justice Leaguers and Earth's Mightiest Heroes. But it's just not enough to save this issue.
Rating: 6 out of 10 stars.
The dimension shifting time-travelling adventures of Access puts the new hero in the direct path of the Legion of Superheroes. That's not all of the fun as the affects of having DC and Marvel heroes on the same world has caused Access to leap forward in time to the most dangerous potential timeline of all- The Days of Future Past!
Karl Kesel upped the level excitement, thrills, and twists in this issue. I really enjoyed it. But I'm not really a fan of the artwork. Pat Olliffe's style is very 1990s disproportionate. Enormous muscles, way too small heads, and everybody from ages 2-92 has widow's peak, even the ladies! At least it's not Rob Liefeld...
Worth Consuming!

Axel Asher, also known as in inter-dimensional skipping hero Access is back.
This time, he doesn't just have to prevent heroes from both the DC and Marvel universes from jumping between worlds, he now has to prevent them from screwing up with the time-line.
During a period of lost time, Access discovers that the believed long dead Hal Jordan Green Latern has returned! Not only that, but the Hulk has been sent back in time to the Old West.
Generally, when a hero from one world enters the other world, there's a loose period of time in which Access must return the interloper to their original world. To go past that limit could mean the return of the Amalgam Universe; another dimension in which the Marvel and DC Universes are blended into one. But when people are starting to be sent back and forwards in time, those rules are no longer in play.
There's no telling how much time Access has to fix time before the Amalgam world returns...
Written by Karl Kesel, a writer with experience in both DC and Marvel lore, Unlimited Access is in good hands. But this 1997 miniseries isn't written by someone who was involved with the three prior stories in the DC/Marvel crossover Saga. Having time travel being thrown into the mix was a brilliant twist. It really makes the story of Access that much more interesting and fresh.
Worth Consuming!
