Justice League of America #42
In "Team History," the new Justice League faces off against a deceptive Atlas while Dr. Impossible and Hunter launch an assault on STAR Labs, testing the limits of the Power Company’s resolve.

With Neon Black, Hunter, and Dr. Impossible infiltrating the abandoned JLA satellite, tensions rise across multiple fronts. Written by James Robinson and illustrated by Mark Bagley, with inks by Rob Hunter, Norm Rapmund, and Jonathan Glapion, and colors by Pete Pantazis, this pivotal issue unfolds with layered threats and growing stakes. The cover by Mark Bagley and Rob Hunter captures the intensity of the moment.
