Justice League: Cry for Justice

In this one-issue prestige-format special from DC, James Robinson assembles a squad of heavy-hitting heroes to pursue a more proactive brand of justice, with art by Ibraim Roberson, Mauro Cascioli, and Scott Clark. The story sets up a controversial shift in the League's approach, exploring the moral tensions that arise when heroes decide to strike before villains can act. Though brief, this 2011 release serves as a pointed, character-driven prelude to a larger narrative about the costs of vigilantism.
