Justice League United #1
This volume collects the first story arc of Justice League United, the New 52-era team book that spun out of Jeff Lemire's run on Justice League Dark. The team, initially dubbed Justice League Canada, forms when Animal Man, Adam Strange, and a new character named Equinox join forces with other heroes to confront a cosmic threat tied to the alien race known as the Byth. The collection includes issues #0–5 of the 2015 series, setting up a more international and mystical-leaning branch of the Justice League franchise.
Justice League United #1 (2015) kicks off with a sharp, grounded mystery: Stargirl and Animal Man are signing autographs in Toronto when they’re drawn into a strange abduction case involving Adam Strange and his missing assistant, Alanna Lewis. As the team—joined by Martian Manhunter and Green Arrow—investigates an alien burial site in northern Ontario, a sudden transformation erupts on Moose Factory Island, where teen Miiyahbin Marten becomes Equinox. Meanwhile, deep in space, Alanna awakens in a cage, discovering Hawkman was imprisoned beside her. Written by Jeff Lemire and illustrated by Mike McKone—with colors by Marcelo Maiolo and letters by Carlos M. Mangual—this issue blends intimate character moments with a galactic mystery, all anchored by McKone’s striking cover art.
