JLA: Incarnations #1

In "The Justice League of America Is Dead!", the JLA faces a devastating threat from Wotan, who seemingly destroys the team and turns his sights on the Justice Society. Though the League escapes his trap, the older heroes refuse to believe the younger generation can truly carry on their legacy—setting off a clash fueled by doubt and old wounds. Written by John Ostrander and illustrated by Val Semeiks, with inks by Prentis Rollins and colors by John Kalisz and Heroic Age, this pivotal 2001 issue explores the tension between generations, all while Wotan’s subtle manipulations loom in the shadows. The cover, by Val Semeiks and Prentis Rollins, captures the moment of fracture with striking intensity.
