Justice #[nn]
In "Justice, Chapter One," a 2012 DC story written by Alex Ross and Jim Krueger and illustrated by Doug Braithwaite, Superman races to stop Brainiac from launching humanity’s entire missile arsenal. With Zatanna and Red Tornado tracking Brainiac’s shifting hosts, the rest of the Justice League works to contain chaos as Luthor, Grodd, and the Martian Manhunter use Sinestro’s ring—aided by the Green Lantern Corps—to redirect the missiles into the sun. The cover, a striking piece by Alex Ross, captures the scale of the crisis in his signature painterly style.

Superman discovers that Brainiac intends to launch all of humanity's missiles. While Batman forces Luthor to work with Grodd through the Martian Manhunter, other heroes keep the people in Scarecrow's city from harming each other. As Superman, Zatanna, and Red Tornado follow Brainiac as he transfers from one host to another, the other heroes track down the remaining villains. Luthor, Grodd, and Martian Manhunter are able, using Sinestro's ring, to divert the missiles into the sun, with the help of the Green Lantern Corps, and Brainiac is trapped in his own spaceship.
