Following the events of Throne of Atlantis, it is deemed necessary to create a new Justice League.  This new superhero team is under the command of Col. Steve Travor, of the United States Military's A.R.G.U.S. division(Advanced Research Group Uniting Superhumans).  Signing up for duty with this new incarnation of the JLA are Catwoman, Katana, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Martian Manhunter, Steve Trevor, Hawkman, Star Girl and the long-awaited return of 80s superhero, Vibe. Collects issues #1-7. Once DC ushered in the New 52, a reboot of 52 of their major characters, Johns was given the reins of DC’s signature team, the Justice League. But once the Superman-led team became wholly preoccupied by a battle with the Atlanteans, a U.S. government body—Advanced Research Group Uniting Superhumans, or ARGUS—decided to create its own team, and the Justice League of America (JLA) was born. Johns’ JLA comprises some lesser-known superheroes (Hawkman, Martian Manhunter, and Cat Woman, among others), but their battles are no less epic, thanks to Finch’s bold outlines and action pieces, though he doesn’t shirk more character-driven moments either. The beginning of the volume traces the creation of the new team and their dynamics as a group, but because Johns is at the helm for both Justice League of America and the Justice League, there is a lot of interaction with the Justice League, including several crossover events, such as the “Trinity War” and “Forever Evil.” Johns is a big name in the DC universe, and that alone will be a draw. --Ben Spanner "This is a perfect example of the words and the pictures working together in perfect harmony."—SuperHeroHype Geoff Johns is an award-winning writer and one of the most popular contemporary comic book writers today.
