JLA Year One

Individually they are amongst the most powerful beings on Earth. Together they form an elite super team that has no equal. Now if only they could get along...Today, the Justice League of America is legendary--the greatest superhero team ever established. But a decade ago, the League's founders were just five individual crime-fighters: The Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Black Canary and Martian Manhunter, protecting their own regions of the country, but never crossing paths. When a threat too large for just one hero brought them all together, it laid down the foundation for the most famous team-up of all time!Acclaimed authors Mark Waid (Kingdom Come, JLA, The Flash), Brian Augustyn (Batman: Gotham by Gaslight) and Barry Kitson (Legion of Super-Heroes) take the JLA back to its roots in this often overlooked origin story that not only defines the group as heroes but as teammates.Collects JLA: Year One #1-12
