JLA #15

In "The Tenth Circle, Part One: Suffer the Little Children," the JLA confronts a chilling threat as children with the meta-gene are being hunted by the enigmatic Crucifer. When Superman is suddenly overpowered by a mysterious young girl and Faith is subdued, the League must unravel the mystery behind the girl's power and the sinister force behind the abductions—before more children vanish.

In "The Tenth Circle, Part Two: The Enemy Within," Wonder Woman uncovers the shocking truth that the Tenth Circle is a cult of vampires with a dark history tied to the Amazons—only to find that Superman, under unknown influence, has erased the records that could reveal how they were once defeated. As Negative Man and Elasti-Girl warn Green Lantern they’re also hunting the Circle, the JLA must piece together a threat that’s both ancient and deeply personal.

In "The Tenth Circle, Part Three: The Heart of the Matter," Superman brings Wonder Woman to Crucifer and the Tenth Circle, where Nudge reveals the painful truth: she and Grunt escaped the Doom Patrol only to fall under the Circle’s even more oppressive control. The story delves into the weight of freedom and the cost of survival, with no clear path forward in sight.

In "The Tenth Circle, Part Five: Convergence," Vortex makes a desperate move to break Superman free from Crucifer’s grip—only to be captured himself. With the stakes higher than ever, the Justice League joins forces with the Doom Patrol in a desperate bid to confront the growing threat of the Tenth Circle.

In the climactic conclusion of "The Tenth Circle," the JLA, bolstered by the unlikely aid of the Doom Patrol, finally brings down the ancient threat—but victory feels fragile. As Faith, Grunt, Nudge, and Vortex depart with the Doom Patrol, they uncover a chilling truth: the vampires’ defeat may have only just begun.
