“[The Queen of Fables, Part 2 of 3]: Truth Is Stranger”

Part two of "The Queen of Fables" arrives with a haunting image: Wonder Woman lies unconscious inside what appears to be a storybook, a white rose resting on her chest, while a ring of hands — some recognizably human, others distinctly alien or monstrous — reach in from all sides. The cover by Bryan Hitch and Paul Neary captures a fairy-tale dread that feels genuinely unsettling, framing Diana as both prisoner and centerpiece of something sinister. Mark Waid's run on JLA was firing on all cylinders in 2000, and this middle chapter promises the kind of imaginative tension that made this era of the series so compelling.

Aquaman and Superman join Flash and Green Lantern, and Aquaman's kiss revives the sleeping beauty Wonder Woman. After they all rescue Plastic Man and Martian Manhunter, Batman surprises the gathered heroes and sends the JLA into the book containing the Queen's land of fables. There they meets the Huntsman who tells how years ago sorcerers banished the Queen and her minions to Earth, where she tortured the commonfolk until her step-daughter Snow White turned the Queen into fiction by mystically trapping her in a book. With this knowledge, the JLA return to Manhattan to re-imprison the Queen.
