Justice League of America #1/2001
"Star-Seed" kicks off a bold new era for the Justice League of America, as the enigmatic Hyperclan—alien newcomers claiming peace—arrive on Earth and begin taking over the League’s duties. Tensions rise when the JLA’s satellite is destroyed in a mysterious attack, leaving the heroes wary of the seemingly benevolent outsiders. Written by Grant Morrison and illustrated by Howard Porter, with inks by John Dell and colors by Pat Garrahy, the issue’s cover by Howard Porter and John Dell captures the eerie calm before the storm.
In "Star-Seed," the newest incarnation of the Justice League faces its first mission as a parasitic lifeform spreading across Earth begins to take over human hosts, embedding itself on their faces. With the planet under silent siege, the team must confront a threat that’s as insidious as it is invisible—before the invasion becomes irreversible.
In "Them!" from Justice League of America #1/2001, the arrival of the seemingly benevolent Hyperclan on Earth sets off alarm bells for the Justice League, who grow wary as the alien newcomers begin to take control. When the League’s satellite is destroyed in a sudden attack, the team must confront the unsettling truth: not all allies are who they claim to be.
In "War of the Worlds," the Justice League—except for Batman—lies imprisoned, facing execution at the hands of the Hyperclan. Batman slips into their stronghold, uncovering a shocking truth: the invaders are Martian, and their greatest weakness is fire.
In "Invaders from Mars," the Justice League’s victory over the Hyperclan is short-lived when a group of surviving Martians slips through the cracks—now posing as humans, infiltrating Earth with quiet menace. As the League scrambles to uncover the truth, the line between ally and invader blurs in a story that turns familiar faces into unknown threats.
In "Gazing Back: Batmans hemlig ursprung," Batman’s focus shifts from a present-day crime scene to the haunting memory of his parents’ murder, as he recalls the moment that shaped his path. The story unfolds through a quiet, introspective lens, grounding the hero’s origin in the weight of loss and the first steps toward justice.
