A JLA: YEAR ONE retrospective: The original Justice League's formation and early struggles
Founding members navigate human dynamics in extraordinary situations
Batman and Superman join early adventures, laying the groundwork for the legendary team
Today, the Justice League of America is legendary—the greatest superhero team ever established. But a decade ago, the League’s founders were just five individual crime-fighters: the Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Black Canary and Martian Manhunter, protecting their own regions of the country, but never crossing paths. Then, a threat too large for just one hero brought them all together, setting the foundation for the most famous team-up of all time!  Acclaimed authors Mark Waid (KINGDOM COME), Brian Augustyn (BATMAN: GOTHAM BY GASLIGHT) and Barry Kitson (LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES) take the JLA back to its roots in this fan-favorite storyline. Reprinted here for the first time in hardcover, this special deluxe edition includes the full 12-issue miniseries, with an introduction by writer Mark Waid.
