The JLA -- Justice League of America -- are the world's greatest heroes. But even before the League had its current, world-shaking lineup, the team was always a powerful force against evil, and in JLA: Year One the clock is turned back in an all-new tale of the League that was. Super-hot creators Mark Waid (Kingdom Come) and Barry Kitson capture the spirit of the original JLA in a style that's as modern as it is classic. Prepare for an amazing retrospective, one that provides essential background to today's JLA and a fascinating insight into what went before. In the ground-breaking tradition of the classic Batman: Year One.
