In a world where inexperienced superheroes operate under a cloud of suspicion from the public, loner vigilante Batman has stumbled upon a dark evil that threatens to destroy the earth as we know it. Now, faced with a threat far beyond anything he can handle on his own, the Dark Knight must trust an alien, a scarlet speedster, an accidental teenage hero, a space cop, an Amazon Princess and an undersea monarch. Will this combination of Superman, The Flash, Cyborg, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman and Aquaman be able to put aside their differences and come together to save the world? Or will they destroy each other first?

As a part of the monumental DC Comics' The New 52 event, comics superstars Geoff Johns and Jim Lee bring you an all-new origin story for the Justice League! This powerhouse creative team re-imagines the classic heroes of the DC Universe for the 21st century. This volume collects issues #1-6 of Justice League.

This indelible recasting of the World’s Greatest Heroes has only grown in stature as the years have worn on, with fans everywhere gaining a greater and greater appreciation for this masterwork in the genre. Justice League Vol. 1: Origin has come to be emblematic of the word “Essential”.

“Writer Geoff Johns and artist Jim Lee toss you--and their heroes--into the action from the very start and don't put on the brakes. DC's über-creative team craft an inviting world for those who are trying out a comic for the first time. Lee's art is stunning.” —USA Today

 “Welcoming to new fans looking to get into superhero comics for the first time and old fans who gave up on the funny-books long ago.... Written by Geoff Johns, with art by the godly Jim Lee, Justice League is a must read.” —Complex Magazine

 “A good jumping-on point for new customers.” —Paste Magazine

“I don't care that he doesn't have red trunks, and I don't care that his suit has a few pointless lines on it to make it look sort of armorish instead of tightsy. I don't even care that there's no spitcurl, but just an approximation of one. He's still Superman and he's still great.” —Crave Online

“A great book.” —Ain’t It Cool News, Five Star Review

“A fun ride.” —IGN
