JLA: Riddle of the Beast

In 2001, DC published this single-issue prestige story, a standalone fantasy-horror riff on the Justice League. Illustrated by a trio of distinct talents—Alex Horley, Andrew Robinson, and Carl Critchlow—the book pits the team against a monstrous, riddle-spouting beast. It stands as a curious, self-contained what-if from the publisher's early-2000s output, offering a darkly atmospheric detour from the League's usual cosmic adventures.
