Justice League: Origin: DC Compact Comics Edition

When an unimaginable threat rises and the world stands on the brink, Geoff Johns and Jim Lee deliver the explosive modern rebirth of the Justice League—now in an accessible, portable DC Compact Comics edition.

A dark force stirs beneath the surface of a changing world, and for the first time, Earth’s heroes must stand together—or fall separately. When Batman uncovers an otherworldly invasion beyond anything he can contain alone, a chain reaction pulls Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Flash, Aquaman, and Cyborg into a collision course of mistrust, clashing egos, and escalating global danger. What begins as chaos becomes the moment destiny demands: seven strangers joining forces for the first time against an unstoppable enemy.

Geoff Johns (Green Lantern, Flashpoint) and Jim Lee (Batman: Hush) reimagine the League’s formation with blockbuster scale, kinetic action, and a bold visual identity that defined the New 52 era. Presented in the DC Compact Comics format, this bestselling, era-shaping origin story becomes a high-impact, highly accessible introduction to the modern DC Universe.
