In "The Lightning Saga, Chapter One: Lightning Lad," the Justice League of America and the Justice Society of America converge on Suicide Swamp to rescue Triplicate Girl, the last missing Legionnaire from the 21st century, unaware that the Secret Society’s old base is now a living trap. As Computo awakens and strikes, Superman recognizes the eerie déjà vu—but the real mission is already underway, with the Legion using the chaos to move forward unseen. Written by Geoff Johns and illustrated by Dale Eaglesham with stunning contributions from Alex Ross on both art and cover, this issue blends classic team dynamics with a haunting, layered mystery.
