The Hunt for the Black Beetle
Part 1--Weird Western Tales
1) Using her magic, Alina is finally successful in finding the Black Beetle, tracing him to the latter half of the 1860s.
2) Dinah, Riley, and Alina take the Time Sphere and travel back in time, where they discover Jonah Hex involved in tracking down Arkady Duvall, to whom the Black Beetle is supplying advanced weapons that could threaten to alter the course of history.
3) Together with Jonah Hex, the three heroes stop the plot and battle with the Black Beetle, who escapes into the time stream.
Part 2--The War That Time Forgot
1) Following the Black Beetle through time, to sometime during World War II, the heroes find themselves on Dinosaur Island, all having been drawn there by its temporal distortions.
2) But the Black Beetle arrived there much earlier than they did, and has brought the dinosaurs under his control, outfitting some of them with cybernetic implants. He unleashes them on the heroes, who are forced into a running conflict.
3) However, also on the island are a group of Japanese soldiers, and American GIs, who get drawn into the conflict. The Japanese have allied themselves with the Black Beetle.
4) With the help of the GI Robot, the heroes once again turn the tide, and follow Black Beetle back into the time stream.
Part 3--The Last Boy on Earth
1) The heroes follow the Black Beetle to the future of Kamandi, where he has united several of the warring tribes against the Tigermen and the last remaining humans.
2) Helping free Komandi from capture, the heroes promise what aide they can.
3) With their knowledge of the past, the heroes suggestion one last bastion of freedom against the Beetle and his armies, which the Tigermen and humans will need, even if they end the conflict today. They travel to Gorilla City, which remains a thriving place.
4) Unable to convince the Gorillas to help them, and the Beetle's army having tracked them down, the three heroes and Kamadni take on his army on their own... just long enough for their heroism to inspire Gorilla City to fight back too.
5) The Black Beetle escapes one last time...
Part 4--Vanishing Point
1) Right on the Black Beetle's heels, the heroes battle him in the timestream itself, flitting in and out of different eras for a few brief moments at a time.
2) The conflict eventually brings them to a frozen moment at the Vanishing Point, just before the universe ends.
3) The heroes go all out in battling the Black Beetle, fighting him to a standstill.
4) In the fight, Dinah damages the Black Beetles temporal equipment, causing him to slowly slide out of the frozen moment...
5) ???
