About this Collection

This collection brings together the opening story arc of the 2004 JLA series, written by Kurt Busiek and illustrated by Ron Garney. In 'Rules of Engagement,' the newly expanded Justice League faces a diplomatic crisis when the alien race known as the Kree (or a similar interstellar power) arrives on Earth, forcing the team to navigate complex political tensions while dealing with a threat that challenges their unity and methods. The volume collects JLA #0-6, setting the stage for a more globally focused era for DC's premier superhero team.

In "Stardust Memories," Joe Kelly and Duncan Rouleau deliver a quietly intense chapter in the JLA saga, focusing on Martian Manhunter as he grapples with his enduring vulnerability to fire while the rest of the League watches a tense standoff between federal agents and a metahuman commune. Doug Mahnke and Tom Nguyen’s cover captures the moment’s gravity, setting the tone for a story that lingers on internal struggle and the weight of legacy.
