About this Collection
This DC Essential Edition collects the opening story arc of Grant Morrison's celebrated JLA run, 'New World Order,' originally published in JLA #1-4. The story introduces a revamped Justice League lineup—including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, and Martian Manhunter—as they confront a seemingly benevolent alien race that threatens Earth. Howard Porter's dynamic artwork complements Morrison's epic, high-concept take on the team, re-establishing the League as the world's premier superhero team for the modern era.
In "Them!", the DC Universe's greatest heroes must rise when the Justice League is incapacitated, facing the terrifying Star Conqueror alone. As the Spectre warns that using their powers could unravel reality itself, the heroes confront a harrowing choice: surrender their abilities to stand a chance, or risk everything to save existence. Written by Grant Morrison and Mark Millar, with dynamic art by Howard Porter and inks by John Dell, this pivotal story unfolds with weight and urgency, showcasing the cost of heroism in the face of cosmic threat. The cover, also by Howard Porter, captures the moment’s intensity with striking precision.
