Justice #3
In "Justice, Chapter Nine," Superman races to stop Brainiac from launching humanity’s entire missile arsenal, while Batman forces Luthor and Grodd into an uneasy alliance through the Martian Manhunter. With Zatanna and Red Tornado tracking Brainiac’s shifting hosts, the rest of the heroes work to contain chaos in Scarecrow’s city, culminating in a desperate effort to redirect the missiles—using Sinestro’s ring and the Green Lantern Corps—before it’s too late. Written by Alex Ross and Jim Krueger, with art by Doug Braithwaite and colors by Alex Ross, and featuring a striking cover by Alex Ross, this 2007 issue delivers high-stakes teamwork and the kind of bold, emotionally charged storytelling that defines the series.

Superman discovers that Brainiac intends to launch all of humanity's missiles. While Batman forces Luthor to work with Grodd through the Martian Manhunter, other heroes keep the people in Scarecrow's city from harming each other. As Superman, Zatanna, and Red Tornado follow Brainiac as he transfers from one host to another, the other heroes track down the remaining villains. Luthor, Grodd, and Martian Manhunter are able, using Sinestro's ring, to divert the missiles into the sun, with the help of the Green Lantern Corps, and Brainiac is trapped in his own spaceship.
