Justice League of America #[8]

In "Devil in the Details," the new Justice League races to intercept a mysterious green meteor threatening Germany, only to collide with Etrigan mid-battle against the enigmatic Die Rakete-Auslese. As the League subdues the demon and returns him to his human form, Jason Blood, they uncover an unexpected secret within the meteor—Jade, unconscious and hidden inside. Meanwhile, at the JSA’s headquarters, Sebastian Faust delivers a chilling warning as Alan Scott’s green energy begins to spiral out of control.

In "Prelude to the Dark Things," Jade struggles to make sense of her origins tied to the Starheart, a cosmic force now driving metas like Green Lantern and Power Girl into violent frenzy. With Supergirl arriving at Bill’s urgent request, the team moves to contain the escalating chaos, while the Justice Society races to stop a Green Lantern fully consumed by the Starheart’s influence.

In "The Dark Things, Part One," the Justice League and Justice Society join forces as the Starheart's influence spreads, driving magical and elemental metahumans into chaos. When Jade uses her father's Green Lantern power ring to track a possessed Green Lantern to the dark side of the moon, Starman ventures there only to be ambushed—and stripped of his jewel—by the very hero he came to save.

In "The Dark Things, Part Two," as the JSA battles foes wielding chaotic energies, a smaller team tracks the Shade—only to discover Obsidian and Dr. Fate, both under the influence of the Starheart, have already arrived. Meanwhile, the JLA enlists Miss Martian to reach out to Starman, eventually joined by Shilo Norman and Mister Miracle in their urgent search for Mikaal.

In "The Dark Things, Part Three," Alan Scott—now host to the unstable Starheart—has become a threat to Earth, forcing a small team of JLA and JSA heroes to launch a daring assault on his moon-based stronghold. Their mission: rescue the imprisoned Starman and end the chaos before Starheart's influence spreads further.

In "The Dark Things, Part Four," Kyle Rayner arrives at the Starheart's lunar base just as Obsidian manipulates Jade into merging with him, unleashing a terrifying new entity born from their combined powers. Inside, Faust confronts a counterfeit Alan Scott forged from Dr. Fate’s magic, while Dr. Mid-Nite works to sever Nelson from his helm and reclaim Starman’s gem. On Earth, Mr. Terrific calls in Power Girl and Supergirl, who break off their battle with the other Alan Scott—now racing to the moon to join his children.

In "The Dark Things, Part Five," Batman rallies a desperate strategy as the Starheart's power overwhelms both the Justice League and Justice Society, leading him to convince Jade that only she holds the key to freeing Alan Scott—the one man alive who might still control the cosmic force.
