Origin

Origin Synopsis

When an unimaginable threat rises and the world stands on the brink, Geoff Johns and Jim Lee deliver the explosive modern rebirth of the Justice League-now in an accessible, portable DC Compact Comics edition. A dark force stirs beneath the surface of a changing world, and for the first time, Earth's heroes must stand together-or fall separately. When Batman uncovers an otherworldly invasion beyond anything he can contain alone, a chain reaction pulls Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Flash, Aquaman, and Cyborg into a collision course of mistrust, clashing egos, and escalating global danger.

What begins as chaos becomes the moment destiny demands: seven strangers joining forces for the first time against an unstoppable enemy. Geoff Johns (Green Lantern, Flashpoint) and Jim Lee (Batman: Hush) reimagine the League's formation with blockbuster scale, kinetic action, and a bold visual identity that defined the New 52 era. Presented in the DC Compact Comics format, this bestselling, era-shaping origin story becomes a high-impact, highly accessible introduction to the modern DC Universe.
