About this Collection

This volume collects the first story arc of the 1997 JLA series, written by Grant Morrison and illustrated by Howard Porter. 'New World Order' sees a new, more powerful Justice League—featuring Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, and Martian Manhunter—face a threat from a seemingly benevolent alien race called the Hyperclan, whose true intentions challenge the very concept of heroism. The collection sets the tone for Morrison's influential run, redefining the team as a pantheon of modern gods.

In "Them!", the Justice League faces their most puzzling threat yet when a mysterious group of super-powered aliens arrives on Earth, offering to eradicate crime, famine, and disease with seemingly miraculous results. But when their satellite is destroyed and public trust begins to fracture, the League must uncover the aliens' true intentions before it's too late. Written by Grant Morrison and illustrated by Howard Porter, with inks by John Dell and colors by Pat Garrahy, this pivotal issue features a striking cover by Howard Porter.
