Summary

THEY ARE THE JUSTICE LEAGUE.

Superman. Batman. Wonder Woman. Aquaman. The Flash. Cyborg. Green Lantern. Hawkgirl. Martian Manhunter. Nine heroes with powers as different as their personalities, but one thing in common: a dedication to defending the Earth.

And they have never seen anything like this. They call it the Totality: the concentrated essence of the secret source of all things. When it crash-lands in the Nevada desert, everyone and everything that comes into contact with it comes out...changed. And power like that attracts the power-hungry. The mad, the merciless, the monstrous.

Lex Luthor. The Joker. The Cheetah. Black Manta. Gorilla Grodd. Sinestro. THEY ARE THE LEGION OF DOOM.

And unless someone stops them, they'll seize the Totality for themselves and use it to tear down the world as we know it...

Spinning out of the cataclysmic events of Dark Nights: Metal and Justice League: No Justice, Scott Snyder's Justice League reunites the World's Greatest Heroes for an epic adventure! Together with artists Jorge Jimenez (Super Sons) and Francis Manapul (The Flash), visionary writer Scott Snyder takes the new League into uncharted territory-- from the Source Wall at the edges of the cosmos to the bottom of the ocean to a miniaturized adventure inside of Superman's body.

And through it all, Lex Luthor is quietly building a team of his own-- the Legion of Doom! From Black Manta to Sinestro to the Joker, Lex has engineered an alliance between the Justice League's greatest enemies--but a new partnership with the monster known as the Batman Who Laughs could throw both the League and the Legion into untold chaos!

This first deluxe hardcover collects Justice League #1-13, Justice League/Aquaman: Drowned Earth #1, and Aquaman/Justice League: Drowned Earth #1.
