About this Collection

This collection brings together the complete run of the 2007 DC miniseries Justice League Elite, written by Joe Kelly with art by Doug Mahnke and others. The story follows a covert, black-ops branch of the Justice League that operates outside traditional superhero boundaries, taking on threats too dangerous for conventional heroes. It collects the entire four-issue series, exploring themes of morality and justice through the actions of characters like Green Arrow, Major Disaster, and the newly introduced Elite team members.

In "The Aftermath, Part One," the Justice League Elite grapple with the fallout of a devastating event as Manchester attempts to alter the past using Eve, the human vessel of the Worlogog—only to find the timeline resists change. With Flash rescuing survivors from a collapsing lair, Green Arrow delivers a painful truth to Dawn, while Major Disaster returns Raven’s lost relics with a quiet apology. As Menagerie vanishes and Coldcast and Kasumi flee into the Shadow Realm to heal, their return to the Foundry brings a shocking arrest—Coldcast taken into custody for the murder of Hi-Shan Bhat. Written by Joe Kelly and brought to life with dynamic precision by Doug Mahnke, Tom Nguyen, David Baron, and Pat Brosseau, with a striking cover by Mahnke and Nguyen, this issue deepens the team’s moral and emotional stakes.
