About this Collection

This collection brings together the 2006 miniseries that reunites the Justice League International's B-list heroes—including Blue Beetle, Booster Gold, Fire, Guy Gardner, Power Girl, and Elongated Man—for a comedic caper involving a fake Justice League. When the team's old foe the Royal Flush Gang resurfaces with a bizarre scheme, the former JLI members must prove they're still worthy of the name, even if no one takes them seriously. Written by Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis with art by Kevin Maguire, this volume captures the same irreverent humor and character-driven antics that defined their classic 1980s run.

In "This Guy… This— Gardner!", the Justice League finds themselves unexpectedly stranded in a bizarre, bureaucratic version of Hell where the afterlife is less about fire and brimstone and more about bad service and existential dread. With Beatriz struggling with cell reception, Mary cut off from her powers, and Booster’s endless apologies falling on deaf ears, the team grapples with their own beliefs while trying to survive a shift at a fast-food joint—until Guy Gardner, back in full ring-powered form, and Power Girl launch a rescue mission. Cover by Kevin Maguire and Joe Rubinstein, this 2006 DC issue features a sharp, surreal take on the team’s dynamics, with writer Keith Giffen and J. M. DeMatteis delivering a story where even the underworld has a lunch rush.

In this delightfully absurd 2006 humor tale from *I Can't Believe It's Not the Justice League*, a group of heroes faces off against their own twisted reflections in a battle that’s as much about ego as it is about saving the day. With a dash of whimsy and a perfectly timed pop of magic, one hero clicks his heels three times and—*SNAP*—the whole crew is back where they belong, where they lived happily ever after.
