About this Collection

This volume collects the three-issue 'New Maps of Hell' storyline from DC's JLA Classified series, written by Warren Ellis with art by Butch Guice. The story pits the Justice League against a mysterious threat that emerges from a hidden, forgotten corner of the world, challenging their assumptions about heroism and global security. It's a standalone, self-contained arc that offers a darker, more introspective take on the team's dynamics and mission.

In "Part One" of JLA Classified: New Maps of Hell, Warren Ellis and Jackson Guice deliver a chilling exploration of the heroes' inner demons, as the JLA is plunged into personalized trials of their deepest fears—Superman confronting a twisted version of Lois’s fate, Flash stranded beyond the Speed Force, Wonder Woman lost in endless water, Batman hunted by a legion of Jokers, Green Lantern facing a silent samurai, and the Martian Manhunter confronting a spectral remnant of Old Mars. With David Baron’s haunting colors and Phil Balsman’s tight lettering, the issue builds tension through psychological dread, all rendered under Michael Stribling’s stark cover art.
