About this Collection

This collection brings together the opening story arc of the 2004 JLA series, written by Joe Kelly and illustrated by various artists. The plot follows the Justice League as they confront a mysterious new threat that targets the team's psychic members, leading to a dramatic showdown involving the Martian Manhunter's past. The volume collects issues #1-6 of the series.

In "Part One" of a pivotal JLA arc, Batman tracks down Plastic Man, hoping his unique abilities hold the key to stopping The Burning—now possessing the body of the Martian Manhunter. But Plas, content with his quiet life and having erased all memory of his powers, isn't eager to answer the call. Written by Joe Kelly and brought to life by Doug Mahnke’s dynamic art, with Tom Nguyen’s inks, David Baron’s colors, and Ken Lopez’s lettering, this issue sets a tense, character-driven tone. The cover by Doug Mahnke and Tom Nguyen captures the moment with striking intensity.
