Justice League: Origin Deluxe Edition, Hardcover

The blockbuster creative team of Geoff Johns (Doomsday Clock, DC Universe: Rebirth) and Jim Lee (Batman: Hush, X-Men) re-imagine the classic heroes of the DC Universe for the 21st century in Justice League: Origin. Now collected in a beautiful deluxe edition format.

In a world where inexperienced superheroes operate under a cloud of suspicion from the public, loner vigilante Batman has stumbled upon a dark evil that threatens to destroy Earth as we know it. Faced with a threat far beyond anything he can handle on his own, the Dark Knight must trust an alien, a Scarlet Speedster, an accidental teenage hero, a space cop, an Amazon Princess and an undersea monarch to help him.

Can Batman, Superman, the Flash, Cyborg, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman and Aquaman put aside their differences to save the world? Or will they destroy one another first?

Collects Justice League #1-12.
