Justice League Unlimited #1

/ / Comics

Taking a page from the Justice League Unlimited TV-series, Justice League #1 reboots the Justice League as a worldwide group of heroes helping to fight threats around the world from the Watchtower. After a quick tour of the tower by the Flash for newbie Air Wave, a group of members (Superman, Wonder Woman, Black Lightning, Firestorm, Kid Flash, and Star Sapphire) is sent to deal with an issue in South Africa involving a terrorist group calling itself Inferno (who it appears will be sticking around for awhile).

The Justice League has been captured? Who will save them? Booster Gold! That is, if he doesn’t get killed while trying to livestream the rescue (while his followers discuss the hero’s impending death). Thankfully Skeets is smart enough to know just who to go for back-up. While the League may not see the hero in Booster Gold, Ted Kord always has his back.
