JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA (second series)
ISSUE 42 / APRIL 2000
Written by D. Curtis Johnson; art by Mark Pajarillo and Walden Wong; cover by Howard Porter and Drew Geraci
When the Atom goes to investigate a young boy's terminal brain condition, what he finds is not a tumor...it's a miniscule civilization about to be wiped out by a neurosurgeon's laser scalpel! Enter Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and the Flash, who shrink down to help the Atom save not only the boy, but the world within his head. But what can they do when the tiny citizens declare that they'd rather die than relocate?ISSUE 43 / MAY 2000
Written by Mark Waid; art and cover by Howard Porter and Drew Geraci
In the climactic "World War 3," the World's Greatest Super-Heroes faced their ultimate challenge: the monstrous being known as Mageddon. Now, in the battle's aftermath, new series writer Mark Waid (KINGDOM COME, SILVER AGE) joins JLA penciler Howard Porter and inker Drew Geraci (BIRDS OF PREY) for a 4-part story that sees the League trim its ranks; rebuild its shattered Watchtower; and face a villain that has managed -- on occasion -- to beat Batman: Ra's al Ghul! JLA #43 begins the story that pits the new League against the nigh-immortal foe who may be the world's greatest criminal genius. What is Ra's' plan? And who's left in the League to face him in the post-Mageddon era? The answers unfold in "Tower of Babel," the storyline that marks the end of Howard Porter's tenure on JLA. Leaving after issue #46 to take on new duties as penciler for ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN, JLA then will be in the capable hands of the team of Bryan Hitch and Paul Neary (THE AUTHORITY), starting in September's #42. And the Waid/Hitch/Neary team knows how to make an entrance since, in addition to the regular JLA issue that month, they'll be producing JLA: HEAVEN'S LADDER, a 72-page tabloid-sized one-shot that tells the League's biggest tale ever (literally)! It's beginning to look like Mageddon wasn't the League's ultimate challenge after all!JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA (second series)

A handsome trade paperback reveals the first adventures of the new JSA, reprinted from JSA #1-5 and JSA Secret Files #1REALWORLDS: JLA / MAY 2000
Written by J.M. DeMatteis; painted art and cover by Glenn BarrKids can be anything they want to be -- Cops and Robbers, Astronauts and Aliens, Super-Heroes and Super-Villains. At one time or another, these fantasies were ours...but as we go into adulthood, the heroes, villains, and, sadly, even the friends behind the masks vanish into memory. A group of friends who long ago played at being the World's Greatest Super-Heroes rediscover their childhood games in REALWORLDS: JLA, the latest Prestige one-shot to focus on people whose real lives and real ambitions intersect with familiar figures from the DC Universe.
Written by J.M. DeMatteis (ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN, THE COMPLEAT MOONSHADOW) and painted by Glenn Barr (BROOKLYN DREAMS), REALWORLDS: JLA joins a group of childhood friends nearly thirty years after they abandoned their super-heroic fantasies for the "joys" of adulthood. Strewn throughout the country, they've all lost contact with one another and haven't thought of super-heroes or their childhood friends for years...until they each receive mysterious packages containing super-hero costumes and invitations to a Halloween party in New York.
Suddenly, a harried office worker dreams once more of being Superman; a struggling comedian becomes the Elongated Man; a surgically enhanced beauty becomes a Wonder Woman; and so on. Arriving in the Big Apple, they quickly find themselves penniless (no pockets in their form-fitting costumes) and at the mercy of another former schoolmate -- a once-awkward child once relegated to playing the "bad guy" who has taken villainy to his heart as a ruthless corporate wizard, one rich enough to fold, spindle and/or mutilate his childhood "friends" any way he chooses. Have these normal people regained the innocence and imagination of childhood just in time to lose their lives?
