A comments was made in another thread about how the poster enjoyed OMAC as they loved time travel stories, as do I, and it got me thinking about all the time JB has tackled this.

For starters, I can think of MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE #50 where the Thing meets the Thing, ALPHA FLIGHT #19 where the team travel back to 1884, the Days Of Future Past arc in X-MEN and of course NEXT-MEN where it is one of the main themes.

But that have I missed? I am sure there are plenty more JB time travel tales so please share away!

Not ready to add  my favorites to the list, but GENERATIONS 3 was a time travel story.

I've no qualms about confessing to time travel as my go-to move. Love the concept, and especially love that there are no rules, other than those the writer sets up. Even from one story to the next, I am not bound to anything I have established before (unless, as in NEXT MEN, I am operating in the same "universe",)

While I was there, DC tried to put major restrictions on time travel stories, stating that any device or means to accomplish time travel could only be used ONCE.

Every time I hear about one of these fiats--at DC or Marvel--they all seem so stupid.  There are plenty I would LIKE to see (How about no more killing every single major character for 1-3 years? Either kill them forever or NEVER kill them!), but those never seem to get decreed.

OMAC was the first one that popped-into my mind.  Blew me away when I first read it, and I've managed to hold onto the original issues ever since they were first published.  Must dig them out again!

JB's BLOOD OF THE DEMON (some of which I recently reread)
contains time travel.

Nick Fury trying to kill Hitler in FF is a favorite. (Although, I guess technically it's not a real time travel story, is it?)

That was one of the first stories that I thought of, but then remembered that twist at the end...

Now I'm intrigued. Which issue does this appear in?

I've never read BotD. Am I right that is has never been collected?
