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).

Throwback Thursday takes us back to another adventure featuring the fastest man alive and the introduction of a character who would become a cornerstone of his rogues gallery for decades. The story begins with the brainchild of the Wiggins Game Company to start a fad and get kids hooked on boomerangs not realizing the spokesman they hired would use his skills, and the spiffy costume provided by the company, to commit crimes across Central City.
