In "The Injustice League, Chapter 1," Firestorm steps in to save Superman from a Kryptonite blade, freeing the Justice League from captivity and igniting a fierce showdown against a cadre of villains. With Hal Jordan and Black Lightning calling in reinforcements, the team fights back as the tide turns—only for Amanda Waller to arrive and take control with her new Suicide Squad. The issue closes with Firestorm officially joining the League and the team celebrating the wedding of Black Canary and Green Arrow. Written by Dwayne McDuffie and illustrated by Ed Benes, with inks by Sandra Hope, colors by Pete Pantazis, and letters by Rob Leigh, the cover by Ian Churchill and Norm Rapmund captures the chaos in bold, dynamic style.
