JLA Secret Files #3

Batman looms large at the center of this December 2000 reference package, with Superman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Aquaman, Green Lantern, and Martian Manhunter assembled beneath him against a dramatic orange sky — the full JLA roster rendered with confidence by cover penciler Dave Ross and inker Dan Adkins. Packed with profiles on the newest JLA villains, a deep dive into the "Justice Protocols" (Batman's plans to defeat his own teammates), a survey of the League's many incarnations, and a look at the coming Revenge Man, this issue delivers the kind of behind-the-scenes dossier that makes Secret Files volumes so satisfying. Whether you're a longtime League devotee or just getting your bearings in the DC Universe of 2000, this is a genuinely rewarding read.
