Justice League International: The Secret Gospel of Maxwell Lord #[nn]
In "Germ Warfare," the Justice League International and the enigmatic Metron uncover a disturbing truth: they’ve been played. With Maxwell Lord now rebuilt by his sentient AI, the line between man and machine blurs as he’s forced to choose between surrendering to a greater system—or destroying it, risking his own life in the process. Written by Keith Giffen and J. M. DeMatteis, with bold artwork by Kevin Maguire and vivid colors by Gene D'Angelo, this 1992 issue delivers a tense, cerebral clash of wills, all wrapped in a cover by Maguire that captures the moment’s chilling intensity.
