JLA / Morrison, Grant

The might of the Justice League of America is put to the test when they face Lex Luthor and his Injustice Gang, Darkseid, and a new foe, Prometheus.

As they face Batman's anger over the Justice League's use of magic to alter his and the Secret Society of Super-Villains' memories, as well as the ire of the Society itself, the League is forced to question the line between heroism and vigilantism.

"The JLA investigate a rash of child disappearances... but soon begin to disappear themselves! Before long, Superman is brainwashed and in the hands of a fantaic cult that worships an ancient vampiric evil. Who are the mysterious powerful beings that have been shadowing the JLA--friend, foe, or something entirely different? Then Superman, the Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Wonder Woman and Batman are forced to face a time when they were unable to save an innocent or prevent disaster. Like police officers and firefighters who share a bond only their brethren can understand, the JLA members must help each other process the pain and go on with their mission... and their lives"--Back cover.

The Justice League of America teams up with the Justice Society of America to fight an alien Star Conquerer that has enslaved North America, a brigade of super-powered soldiers, an ancient evil, and a forgotten hero who is seeking revenge.

Collects no. 16-23 of the comic book "JLA," in which the superheroes face off against Prometheus, a villain who knows too much about each of them; and meet Professor Julian September, whose impact on world history may force the League out of it altogether.
