The New Justice Machine Mini-Series #1

In "Crossroads," the first issue of the 1989 New Justice Machine mini-series, the Justice Machine gathers to celebrate Jaiime’s 55th birthday—only for the festivities to shatter when U.S. forces, wielding Georwellian technology, invade New Atlantis. Taken into custody as illegal aliens, the team faces a shocking turn when Mr. Hamilton unleashes a devastating act that destroys the city. Written by David Lawrence and Mark Ellis, with art by Darryl Banks and inks by Mike Gustovich, this issue blends personal stakes with high-octane sci-fi tension, all captured in a striking cover by Banks and Gustovich.
