Justice League #3
This volume collects issues #13–18 of the 2023 Justice League series, following the team as they face a multiversal threat that fractures the League into rival factions. Writer Joshua Williamson and artists including Tom Reilly and Juan Ferreyra pit the heroes against the villainous Leagues of Chaos, a coalition of alternate-reality counterparts. The story explores the consequences of the League's growing power and the bonds that hold them together amid escalating chaos.
"Leagues of Chaos [Part 1]" kicks off a bold new chapter in the Justice League's saga, as the team's reunion celebration for the newly returned Wonder Woman is shattered by the sudden arrival of O.M.A.C., a relentless soldier from the future. With time itself unraveling, the League fractures into smaller teams to track down mysterious anomalies, only to face multiple incarnations of Epoch, the enigmatic Lord of Time, each issuing urgent warnings about a looming danger to the timeline. Written by Brian Michael Bendis and illustrated with dynamic precision by Sanford Greene—whose inks and colors bring the chaos to life—this issue sets a gripping pace, with Yanick Paquette’s cover capturing the moment of disruption in stark, cinematic detail.
In "Leagues of Chaos [Part 1]," Zatanna, Doctor Fate, and Madame Xanadu are united by a chilling vision of a future ruled by Black Adam’s devastation. As the Justice League Dark warns the main team, a far darker force—Xanadoth, the Lord of Chaos—descends upon Kahndaq, seeking to claim Black Adam’s body for a plan that could unravel reality itself.
In "Leagues of Chaos Part Two," Zatanna, Madame Xanadu, Doctor Fate, and Etrigan confront Black Adam, now under the thrall of the ancient entity Xanadoth. As the Justice League arrives to assist, Xanadoth retreats—taking both Black Adam and Xanadu with her—leaving the heroes to grapple with a mystery deeper than they anticipated. With the League seeking answers from the sorcerer Nabu, they find him reluctant to speak, hinting at a threat far older than any of them imagined.
In "Leagues of Chaos Part Three," the Justice League and Justice League Dark unite to confront the overwhelming threat of Xanadoth, desperate to free Black Adam and Madame Xanadu. With the tide turning against them, Nabu teams with Naomi, unlocking a desperate alliance of ancient magic and raw power in a bid to stop Xanadoth once and for all.
In "The Return," the Justice League’s joy at Wonder Woman’s resurrection is shattered when O.M.A.C. arrives from the future, signaling dangerous ripples in time. As the team scatters to track down anomalies, they face multiple echoes of Epoch, the Lord of Time, each one warning of a looming fracture in the timeline.
