Turd on a Hot Tin Roof!

First let me sum this story up for you. Armageddon: The Alien Agenda occurs immediately after the end of Armageddon 2001. After being thrown backward in time to the age of the dinosaurs, Monarch and Captain Atom encounter hostile aliens who attempted to enlist both time travelers to assist them in creating a wormhole so that they may move on. The wormhole's creation would destroy the universe (which is obviously omitted to the two of them) in which the primitive Earth existed, but would allow the aliens to travel freely. The creation of the wormhole hinged on a ‘sophisticated’ detonation mechanism. Captain Atom tries to destroy this device and causes an explosion on the primitive Earth which propels both he and the device forward in time to Ancient Rome. Monarch strikes a bargain to retrieve the trigger if the aliens agree to place him back in his own time still not realizing their planned double-cross. Monarch allows the aliens to place him in a stasis chamber with alien companions that will awaken them when it senses Captain Atom and the device. Once awake, Monarch follows Atom (whose powers are on the fritz) through Nero's Rome, the Old West, and finally into World War II. In the World War II era, they stumble onto an atomic test (which Atom is aware of, but Monarch is not), and Atom is blasted into the present while Monarch's fate is left unknown... Duh-Duh-Dun! Now for my humble critique, while I loved the Armageddon 2001 I wouldn’t recommend ANYONE read this story EVER! This was such a disappointing follow up that DC should and has pretended it never happened. To be blunt it was crap, it read like a ‘How to write a bad storyline for dummies’ book, it made the whole ‘Spider-Clone Saga’ look like a masterpiece! Neither character was written true to form, they came across as brawny idiots that couldn’t think their way out of a paper bag and were gullible enough to be suckered by aliens. Skip this mini-series and move straight on to Armageddon Inferno instead, now that was a good read!
