Justice League #2
This volume collects issues #8-12 of the 2019 Justice League series, following the team as they confront the fallout from the 'Year of the Villain' event. The League faces a new cosmic threat tied to ancient gods, with writer Scott Snyder and artist Jorge Jiménez delivering a story that expands the DC Universe's mythological stakes.
In "Legion of Doom Part Two," the fate of Earth hangs in the balance as the Ocean Lords and Black Manta unleash the Death Kraken, a force capable of ending all life. Superman, Flash, and Mera battle alien-empowered metas, only to be saved by the sudden arrival of Aquaman and Wonder Woman. As Aquaman grapples with a dangerous choice—using the Tear of Extinction to empower his trident or seeking peace with the sea gods—Mera stands at the heart of a decision that could save or doom the world. Written by Scott Snyder and illustrated by Francis Manapul, Howard Porter, and Scott Godlewski, with colors by Manapul and Hi-Fi, and lettered by Tom Napolitano, this issue delivers high-stakes tension and emotional depth. The cover, by Mikel Janín, captures the looming threat in striking detail.
In "Legion of Doom Part Two," the Justice League races against time to stop Lex Luthor from altering history, after he kidnaps Starman Will Payton to uncover the secret link between Will’s powers and the mysterious force known as the Totality. With Luthor now working with the twisted Batman Who Laughs to harness the Totality’s power, and Black Manta and Cheetah hunting a hidden god in Newfoundland, the heroes face a threat that spans time, madness, and myth.
In "Good Morning, Moon," Superman faces a cosmic challenge as he attempts to reassemble the Moon, only to be ambushed by mysterious Coronavores in the void of space. Meanwhile, back at the Hall of Justice, Batman endures surgery to mend his shattered limbs, while the rest of the Justice League finds brief respite in quiet moments of downtime.
In "Drowned Earth Prelude," Aquaman, Wonder Woman, and Firestorm venture into the Arctic on a desperate search for the missing Poseidon, uncovering the eerie Graveyard of the Gods—where ancient alien sea deities plot to drown the world. The story unfolds with a haunting sense of dread as the trio confronts the forgotten gods beneath the ice, their mission now tangled in a threat far older than any hero alive.
In "Drowned Earth Part One," the world’s oceans rise unnaturally as the Ocean Lords unleash alien waters that turn anyone they touch into monstrous forms. With the Hall of Justice underwater and Batman trapped inside, Superman, the Flash, and the remaining heroes fight to save lives amid the chaos. As Atlanteans fall to the transformation, Mera turns to Orm for aid—while Aquaman, imprisoned and learning Black Manta’s betrayal, races to protect her from the coming storm.
In "Drowned Earth Part Two," Batman remains isolated in the Hall of Justice as the world teeters under rising tides. Superman, the Flash, and Mera race to locate Arion's tomb, facing Black Manta's relentless assault, while Wonder Woman frees Aquaman and they journey to the Graveyard of Gods, seeking Poseidon’s aid to reclaim his strength.
In "Drowned Earth Part Three," Black Manta wields Aquaman’s powers as he traps Superman, Flash, and Mera at the Tomb of Arion, while the Legion of Doom assault the Hall of Justice with only a wounded Batman to oppose them. At the Graveyard of the Gods, Poseidon recounts Arion’s past victory over the Ocean Lords—but doubts whether history can repeat itself.
In "Drowned Earth Finale," Superman, Flash, and Mera battle transformed metas as Black Manta and the Ocean Lords unleash the Death Kraken to end all life on Earth. With Aquaman and Wonder Woman arriving to aid them, Mera must decide whether to use the Tear of Extinction to empower Aquaman’s trident—knowing it could destroy the sea gods, or save the planet.
