Justice League #1 – $3.99
Writer Scott Snyder | Artists Jim Cheung & Mark Morales | Cover Jim Cheung (DC Comics)
Ever since Scott Snyder hit his stride writing Batman, the comics community knew he was destined to eventually take over DC’s flagship superhero team, the Justice League. And now he’s doing it in grand style. Both Dark Nights: Metal and Justice League: No Justice have set the stage for this team inspired by the Justice League animated series, who are faced with new threats awakened by the crack in the Source Wall and a group of old foes led by a freshly heel-turned Lex Luthor, the Legion of Doom.
