Justice League #1
This volume kicks off the Justice League's post-Rebirth era, collecting issues #1-5 of the 2017 series. Written by Bryan Hitch with art by Tony S. Daniel, the story pits the League against a mysterious extinction-level threat that targets metahumans, forcing the team to confront a new kind of global crisis. It sets the stage for a more grounded, high-stakes take on DC's premier superhero team.
In "Fear the Reaper," the Justice League grapples with bizarre global disturbances and a planet seemingly turning against itself, as Cyborg uncovers unsettling anomalies deep within Earth’s core. With alien bugs returning to attack in force and Aquaman uncovering mysterious relics beneath the ocean, Batman reluctantly brings in the new Superman for a mission that could change everything. Written by Bryan Hitch and illustrated by Tony S. Daniel, with dynamic inks by Sandu Florea and vibrant colors by Tomeu Morey, this pivotal issue features a cover by Tony S. Daniel that captures the League’s growing unease.
In "Fear the Reaper," the Justice League grapples with the aftermath of Superman’s death when a mysterious techno-organic entity—known only as the Reaper—descends upon Earth to harvest its life force. With the aid of a Superman from another universe and two newly assigned Green Lanterns, the team must unite to repel the relentless threat and send a defiant message: Earth is not defenseless.
In "The Extinction Machines, Part One," the Justice League faces a global crisis as earthquakes shake the world, their powers mysteriously stripped, and an alien ship descends upon Gotham City—where humans begin to fall under the influence of a sinister force known as The Kindred.
In "The Extinction Machines, Part Two," the Justice League grapples with Earth's growing instability as strange seismic shifts and possessed civilians point to a deeper threat. Cyborg uncovers troubling anomalies deep within the planet’s outer core, just as alien bugs—linked to the earlier attack on Gotham—return in force. Meanwhile, Aquaman stumbles upon mysterious relics beneath the ocean, leading to a chilling encounter with a being that seems made of Atlanteans themselves. With tensions rising, Batman makes a rare call: summoning the new Superman for a mission that could change everything.
In "The Extinction Machines, Part Three," Wonder Woman confronts a member of the mysterious Kindred, while the Green Lanterns follow the trail of the alien invaders to their origin. As the Kindred close in, Batman enlists Superman for a dangerous mission deep beneath the Earth’s surface, where the final confrontation begins.
In "The Extinction Machines, Part Four," Cyborg grapples with the alien invaders' true intentions as he connects with their strange, alien consciousness, while Superman races to uncover the weakness of the planet-killing machines. Wonder Woman delves deeper into the mysterious past of the Kindred, and the Green Lanterns, following a trail through space, uncover a chilling discovery that feels eerily familiar.
In the explosive finale of "The Extinction Machines," Aquaman channels the zodiac crystals to turn the tide, while Flash and the Green Lanterns reclaim their powers in a desperate bid to stop the Kindred. Superman faces the final engine head-on, but as victory looms, lingering questions about the enemy’s origins and the true cost of their triumph remain unanswered.
