Justice League of America #[6]

In "Be Careful What You Wish For..." from Justice League of America #6 (2009), retired scientist Kimiyo Hoshi returns home to find her sanctuary breached by the Shadow Cabinet, forcing her to flee as she searches for her sons. Meanwhile, Black Canary asserts her leadership during a tense interstellar meeting, while Hardware and Iota infiltrate the League’s HQ to retrieve the remains of the first Dr. Light—only to be confronted by the rest of the team, and soon after, the full force of the Shadow Cabinet arrives.

In "Shadow and Act," the Justice League of America and the Justice League International clash over the remains of the fallen villain Dr. Light, a tense standoff that turns chaotic when Hardware tries to make a getaway. Just as the situation escalates, Hawkman arrives with an urgent warning that throws everything into disarray.

When Shadow Thief hijacks the Justice League's headquarters and conjures twisted reflections of both the League and the Shadow Cabinet, the fate of Earth hangs in the balance as a shadowy moon hurtles toward collision. With only the combined efforts of the two fractured teams offering any hope, Jo and her allies must find a way to stop the impending disaster—before darkness consumes everything.

In "Crisis of Confidence," the weight of loss and shifting loyalties cracks the foundation of the Justice League. With Batman and the Martian Manhunter gone and Hal Jordan forming a new team, Superman, Wonder Woman, Arsenal, Hawkgirl, Black Lightning, and Flash each walk away—driven by personal turmoil—leaving Black Canary to dissolve the League she once led.

In "Nyctophobia," the beleaguered Justice League of America, reduced to just five members, grapples with the need for new leadership and reinforcements. When Dr. Light and Firestorm interrogate the elusive Shadow Thief, the villain seizes the moment to summon his god, Starbreaker, from a realm of absolute darkness—draining Dr. Light of power drawn from the star Vega before vanishing. The story plunges into shadow and mystery, with Dr. Light following them into the unknown.

In "Metathesiophobia," the Justice League turns to Hardware for help tracking down the elusive Dr. Light and the enigmatic Starbreaker, while Anansi subtly aids the team by sending Paladin into the fray—just as tension mounts and old alliances begin to shift.

In the climactic showdown with Starbreaker, Dharma uncovers the shocking truth behind the unraveling of the Milestone world, revealing how the aftermath of Final Crisis is reshaping reality in ways no one saw coming.
