This is the first issue in [a:Geoff Johns|10305|Geoff Johns|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1403679910p2/10305.jpg]’s Justice League.

In this iteration of Justice League, [a:Geoff Johns|10305|Geoff Johns|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1403679910p2/10305.jpg] doesn't create a world in which superheroes are seen as role models and symbols of peace, but of superheroes who are feared and alien. These heroes band together, knowing nothing of each other, to fight against evil foes.

This first issue sets up Batman and Green Lantern when they first meet, rather unexpectedly, rushing the two of them to take action. A machine-like alien halt their movements, and the two try their best to work together. To no avail, they are unable to make a dent on this creature. As they have only just met, they aren't on the same terms, almost compromising themsleves to the police roaming the area. They run away in the nic of time, almost getting destroyed by another scorpion-resembling machine, and decide they are need of help from Superman. For the other half of the issue, Cyborg aka Victor Stone’s origin story is introduced.

For my first comic, I enjoyed this and will hopefully read the next issues.
